My joy in helping site owners was nothing more than a hobby when Google’s Penguin algorithm came out in 2012. (Did you know Penguin 4.0 was likely the introduction of AI into Google’s search algorithms?) This excitement grew into an obsession over understanding Google’s algorithms, a career, an agency, and speaking opportunities that have allowed me to share with the world my theories.
It has been an honour to be a part of so many website’s success stories. I’ve worked with some of the most well known sites on the internet as well as hundreds of much smaller sites. Google’s documentation recommends my advice on E-A-T:
Here are a few of the sites that I have strategized with:

If you’ve ordered a traffic drop assessment, expect a turnaround of a week or less, depending on demand. Full reports including recovery advice take about 3 weeks to complete.
There is no consultation with the $500 traffic drop assessment report. If you have ordered the Advanced report with site improvements, we will book two calls. Your team and I will discuss the contents of the report, my advice for improvements, and my thoughts on how AI is impacting your industry. We will book a second call a month or so later to brainstorm further!
I am experimenting with using ChatGPT to help me assess content and whether it lines up with Google’s recommendations. For now, the vast majority of the report is hand crafted, but I often provide information on how you can use ChatGPT as a tool to improve site content in ways Google is likely to reward.
In the 11+ years I have been advising sites with traffic drops I have seen many recoveries, but not all sites can recover. The best cases have been websites that have a legitimate business presence even outside of Google. It is easier to demonstrate E-E-A-T when you have a clearly recognizable brand with an existing audience.
There are some cases that make me worry that recovery is not possible. I am concerned if any of the following are true for you:
I will give you an honest assessment of whether recovery is likely.
In most cases, if you have been impacted by a Google update, you will need to make significant improvements to site quality and then wait for Google to run another update. Core updates, product reviews updates and spam updates run a few times a year.
However, if you have been impacted by the helpful content system, it is a different story. The key here is to improve your content and then wait for a few months. If Google’s systems are satisfied your content is now helpful and has remained that way, they will lift the helpful content classifier that is suppressing your site. This can happen to degrees.
Looking forward to helping you! (Note: I’ll be opening up my traffic drop assessments soon, so stay tuned.)
