Stop the Google nightmare once and for all. We can help.
Losing SEO rankings can be frustrating, especially when the cause isn’t immediately clear. It affects more than just traffic; it can disrupt your sales and shake confidence in your online presence. That’s where we come in.
Our SEO specialists have a strong track record of helping Australian businesses recover from ranking drops and rebuild their visibility. We make the recovery process clear and focused on long-term results, so you can get back to running your business with confidence.
We Can Help Restore Your Precious Google Rankings
Google Core Algorithm Updates
If your website has lost rankings after a Google update, you’re not alone. With hundreds of algorithm changes each year, even a single misstep in SEO can impact your visibility and traffic.
Whether it’s poor link building, thin content, or an overlooked technical issue, recovering from a penalty requires a deep understanding of SEO and access to the right data.
At Red Search, our senior SEO specialists assess your site’s full history, analyse traffic patterns, and pinpoint the root cause of the drop. From there, we provide clear, actionable steps to restore lost rankings and rebuild your search presence with confidence.
Website Migration SEO Recovery
Launching a new website often causes shifts in rankings. While some fluctuation is expected, major drops may indicate that SEO best practices weren’t followed during the migration process.
If you’ve recently launched a site and noticed a sudden dip in visibility, we can help. Our team will audit your migration, identify gaps, and put a recovery plan in place to protect or restore your hard-earned rankings.
Planning a launch? We can also guide you through a smooth migration to avoid unnecessary SEO damage from the outset.
Content Penalty Recovery
Google rewards helpful, high-quality content, and penalises sites that publish thin, low-value or duplicate pages.
Suppose a content-related update has affected your site. In that case, we’ll review your content strategy, identify problem areas, and help you create pages that genuinely serve your audience while at the same time, being completely optimised to meet Google’s Search Quality Rater Guidelines.
Recovery Against Link Penalties
Toxic backlinks can drag down your entire site. If your previous SEO efforts involved spammy or unnatural links, your site may be at risk—or already affected—by a link-related penalty.
We identify and assess your backlink profile, remove or disavow harmful links, and help rebuild trust with Google right away. Our goal is to restore your rankings and protect your domain from future risk, using ethical, white-hat link strategies.

Have questions? We got you covered
Can you help identify what penalty hit my website?
Certainly! Our SEO experts live and breathe SEO, it’s in our blood. All we need from you is access to a few tools and we do the rest. We crunch the data to find exactly what penalty you were impacted by and put together a custom action plan to get your website back on its feet.
How long does it take to recover from a Google penalty?
Typically, for most websites, the recovery phase takes 3~6 months.
The recovery process will greatly depend on the size of your website. The larger the site, the longer it will likely take for us to implement our action plan. It’s important that we implement our solution as fast as possible so that previous mistakes are remedied and that we get back to being in Google’s good books quickly.
Is it still possible to recover even after I have lost all my rankings?
If you have completely lost all your SEO rankings, then it’s likely you have been impacted severely. In cases like this, we recommend having a consultation with us. Our experienced SEO experts will assess the damage and provide the most practical approach to moving forward.
Our priority is to ensure that you don’t continue to invest money into a ship that has already sunk.
How much does it cost to recover from a Google penalty?
Based on a 3~6 months recovery plan, the average cost can range from $10,000~$20,000. For larger sites, a recovery plan and implementation may likely cost over $20,000.
It’s important that you consider all options available. Recovering from a Google penalty is without a doubt, costly. Our SEO experts will have an honest and upfront conversation with your options and advise you accordingly.
Can you help remove a manual Google penalty?
Yes! We can help successfully remove a manual penalty by formulating a recovery plan, implementing our changes and then filing for a formal reconsideration request.
