Hi there,
I was hoping that somebody has a potential answer to this or if anyone else has experienced this issue.
Our website has recently hit by a manual penalty (structured data wasn't matching the content on the page)
After working hard on this to fix the issue across the site, we submitted a reconsideration request which was approved by Google a few days later.
I understand that not all websites recover and it doesn't guarantee rankings will go back to normal, but it seems as if the traffic is continuing to drop at an even quicker rate.
There's a number of small technical optimisations that have been briefed into the dev team such as:
- Redirecting duplicate versions, fixing redirects on internal links,
There's also work on-page running in the background fixing up keyword cannibalization, consolidating content keyword mapping and ensuring the internal link structure is sound.
Has this happened to anyone else before? If so, how did you recover?
Any suggestions/advice would be really appreciated.
Thank you
