Bounce Back Stronger: Recover your Rankings, Traffic & Visibility
Google changes have a way of coming out of nowhere. One day your site is ranking well, seeing a steady flow of traffic and your business is humming along. The next, you feel like someone just punched you in the gut.
Google makes thousands of small and relatively innocuous updates throughout the year, but it’s the big Core Updates which can drop your traffic 30–50% virtually overnight. That’s where a team of experienced professionals can make all the difference in the world.
We start by analyzing exactly which update impacted your site and then drill way down into your content, technical factors, or even E-E-A-T issues you may have had going on for months or even years that you never noticed.
We then use this data to develop a site-specific recovery plan to not just recover the lost ground, but to build a stronger, more robust foundation going forward.
Let our SEO experts help you bounce back smarter, more visible, and better prepared to take on whatever new Google Update might come your way next.
ECOSEO SEO-FOCUSED ALGORITHM UPDATE
RECOVERY SERVICES: What's Included
Content Quality Review & Optimization
Google is particular about the quality of your content these days, and it’s also understandable why. We will conduct an audit of your website’s content and determine whether or not your pages are valuable, relevant, and up to today’s standards. If the need arises, we will rewrite, adjust, or add new content so that your pages are not just compliant with the algorithm but shine above and beyond other websites and online businesses in your niche.
Technical SEO & Backlink Acquisition
This is where the detailed work begins. We will analyze your competitors’ backlinks, identify the high-value sources which are working to rank their websites, and then pursue similar or even higher value opportunities for your site. The aim is to play fairly and get your SEO back on track in one swoop. If we do this properly, you will see significant increases in visibility and the right kind of traffic to your business.
Monitoring Progress & Reporting
We don’t just leave you hanging with any of this either. We will use tools such as Ahrefs and SEMrush to closely monitor traffic recovery, ranking recoveries, and your SEO return on investment (ROI). You will have access to hard numbers like “50% traffic increase” or “made it into the top 10 results.” We aim to ensure that each and every adjustment made to your website and SEO strategy is improving the actual growth and visibility of your business.
Site Audit & Health Check
Our recovery process begins with a comprehensive site audit where we identify areas of your website that may be detrimental to your performance. This could be low quality content, spammy backlinks, or technical SEO issues. Once the problem areas have been identified, we prioritize the fixes most important to your rankings and begin working on those issues first.
Review of Backlink Profile
Links can often be problematic. Unnatural backlinks or aggressive link building strategies could be the cause of penalty after a Google update. We conduct a backlink profile analysis to identify negative links and help you to disavow those bad links. Then, we work with you to build a healthy, natural backlink profile that Google will approve. The main objective is to get your site clean and back in good standing with Google as soon as possible and avoid future issues.
Competitor Analysis
Another key part of the recovery process is identifying strategies from those who handled the update well. We research who your top ranking competitors were before and after the update by analyzing their backlinks, content and technical health. We then find which strategies are working and adapt them to your site. This will give you a head start on the recovery process. It also will allow you to pull ahead of your competitors and regain lost traffic and market share.
Help With Penalty Removal
In some cases, if you were hit with a manual penalty for “thin content” or other issues, we can help you recover by cleaning up low quality content on your site, removing bad links, and filing reconsideration requests. The objective here is to get back in Google’s good graces as quickly as possible, so that your site can begin to rank again. In a business setting, this translates to a faster recovery of lost traffic and revenue.

How we fix things when a Google Update goes wrong | 6-Step recovery process
The single worst thing you can do when a core update lands and breaks your traffic is panic. You need a laser-focused plan of action — a well-defined strategy built on a tested process and objective data. Our recovery process will give you both. It will get right to the heart of the problem and work to reverse the negative impact to your rankings, recover your traffic, and get you back on track.
- Critical Impact Analysis & Update Identification Step one is always the same. Work out what happened, when it happened, and what caused it. This involves close analysis of your traffic and ranking data to find when your site started to decline. Once you’ve found the date, it’s a process of cross-referencing all of Google’s official (and unofficial) core and other updates to find a match. Pinpointing the type of update that happened and caused the issues for you will allow us to identify which Google algorithm changed or updated.
- Thorough Technical & Site Health Audit The next stage is to dig into the technical elements of your site and look for any issues that may have affected your rankings. This covers all possible factors, from Core Web Vitals and mobile-friendliness to crawlability and indexation issues, page architecture, and beyond. We look for anything that could be confusing Google or slowing it down from processing your site, and we fix what we can. Speed is of the essence in this process, so any technical barriers are targeted and prioritized accordingly.
- Content Quality & E-E-A-T Audit If there’s a strong link between your ranking decline and content quality, we will review all your content to ensure it meets Google’s guidelines and quality standards. Many pages may need to be rewritten, merged, or removed altogether. We review your content on a page-by-page basis and make decisions on how to move forward with each. The primary objective is to improve quality signals and regain trust with Google. Your content must be helpful, high-quality, credible, and provide real value in order to recover.
- Toxic Backlinks and Authority Recovery While most backlinks are beneficial for your site’s performance and SEO, some of them can be sneaky detrimental without you noticing them. We comb through your backlink profile and look for anything fishy or manipulative that would raise red flags for Google when awarding penalties. After we identify the toxic backlinks, we’ll disavow them and cut them out from your site. Then, we will focus on rebuilding your backlinks with more relevant and high-quality links from authoritative and trustworthy websites that will positively impact your authority, rather than harm it.
- Conversion-Optimized User Experience (UX) AuditGoogle updates are now putting more weight on websites that visitors are happier to use. We audit your website for common issues that have a negative impact on your site’s User Experience. We look at visitor’s behavior in terms of where they click, where they linger, where they get stuck and where they leave your site. This will give us an indication on high bounce rate or low dwell time and confirm that these metrics highlight exactly what’s going wrong. We will then look at areas that can be optimized in terms of design, navigation and content flow to allow visitors to quickly and easily find what they are looking for. The end result is a much smoother UX that will keep your visitors coming back for more and convert more visitors into customers.
- Post-Optimization Monitoring & Validation Phase Site recovery takes time and we need to monitor key website metrics to see the results our optimizations make, and make sure your site has been healed. We will monitor your website’s performance regarding Keyword rankings, organic traffic, Core Web Vitals, and stability. It is a continuous process that involves observation, testing and tweaking until we can guarantee that your website is fully recovered. We will send you regular progress reports so that you can see how your site is healing week by week.
FAQ About our eCommerce SEO Services
What are Google algorithm update recovery services and why would I need them?
Say Google releases a new algorithm update. Rankings tank, in some cases overnight. Algorithm recovery services are created to get your website back up to speed. Our services at EcoSEO involve an in-depth look at all your rankings that went down to determine where the problem lies. Whether it was content, a technical issue, a Core update or even a Spam update, we will create a custom solution for you. If your organic traffic was greatly affected overnight, recovery services may be the solution you need.
How does EcoSEO determine the cause of the drop?
We begin with an in-depth diagnostic audit. No more speculating. Content, backlinks, technical structure, user signals are all evaluated to determine what changed pre and post the update. Sometimes, there is one large problem, sometimes several smaller ones with the accumulated impact leading to an update effect. Whatever the issue, we will create a recovery plan to address the core problems, not just the symptoms.
How long does it take to recover from an algorithm update?
That depends. Sometimes it can be as fast as a few months, sometimes a few updates later. The average is 3-6 months, but it all depends. The reason it can take this long is that Google has to re-crawl your site, then re-evaluate your ranking. If the issues are fixed and resolved, your rankings will return. At EcoSEO, we value your site’s long-term ranking health so that not only will it return but will continue to improve over time.
Can EcoSEO help prevent future ranking drops by algorithm changes?
Yes, EcoSEO proactively strengthens your website to withstand future Google algorithm updates. We implement best practices like high-quality content creation, robust technical SEO, and ethical link-building strategies.
