Robots.txt was set to disallow for 14 days

[jc4254]

We updated our website and accidentally  overwrote our  robots file with a version that prevented crawling  ( "Disallow: /") We realized the issue 14 days later and replaced  after our organic visits began to drop significantly and we quickly replace the robots file with the correct version to begin crawling again.  With  the impact to our organic visits, we have a few and any help would be greatly appreciated -

Will the site get back to its original status/ranking ?

If so .. how long would that take?

Is there anything we can do to speed up the process ?

Thanks

Thank you for the response.

We have been watching over the past week and there has been a very small change in the number of indexed urls in  GSC and no change in the stats on the  MOZ dashboard.

Is that normal? How often does MOZ update the stats?

This is commonly done intentionally, when launching a site on a new domain. Once the disallow is removed, the general practice is to request reindexing of the root domain page (and possibly some key pages with paths not likely to be found through navigation) in GSC, and also submitting (or re-submitting) your sitemaps directly in GSC (even though they also may/should be in your robots.txt file).

I'm not sure how long you can expect the search engines to take, since your situation is a bit unique where the site was indexed, and then disallowed temporarily. Just guessing based on launching brand new domains, the process should be quick to be indexed (perhaps a few days) but might be slower on regaining previous ranking positions (unsure on timing of this).
