Questions about Link audit & penalty recovery

01Should we disavow everything suspicious?

No. Disavowing good links can hurt; we only disavow with evidence.

02How long does recovery take?

Manual actions are reviewed in weeks; algorithmic recovery takes longer and isn’t guaranteed.

03Can you find who attacked us?

We can document the pattern; attribution is rarely possible.

04How is the price fixed?

Scope, deliverables and price are agreed in writing before work starts. The starting price is the floor; your quote depends on the factors on this page.

05Can we start small?

Yes, start with the free snapshot or a smaller first scope, and expand once you have seen the work.
