SEO Traffic Recovery for Declines, Migrations & Lost Rankings.
Diagnose why valuable organic demand declined, repair what can be controlled, and rebuild from evidence.
Built for
Businesses with a material organic decline, a failed or risky migration, disappearing commercial pages, or leadership pressure to distinguish a technical incident from a market change.
Starting point
From $6K / month
Initial six-month operating window
The operating problem
Search is a revenue system, not a list of tasks.
A drop can come from tracking changes, lost demand, competitors, technical releases, redirects, indexation, content quality, site reputation, seasonality, or several causes at once. We preserve the evidence, segment the loss, establish the most credible causes, and sequence recovery work without promising that every historical position can or should return.
Commercial outcomes
What the system is built to change.
We establish the baseline first, then prioritize the work most likely to move qualified discovery, conversion, and revenue.
Controlled repair
Fix redirects, rendering, canonicals, indexation, architecture, content, or conversion problems in a verifiable order.
A stronger next baseline
Track recovery around commercially important pages, qualified events, and durable improvements rather than one aggregate traffic line.

Questions, answered
Clear enough to make a decision.
Can you guarantee the lost traffic will return?
No. Historical rankings are not an entitlement, and demand or the competitive result may have changed. We can identify controllable causes, repair them, and measure recovery against the commercial opportunity that exists now.
What access do you need?
Normally Search Console, GA4, the website or codebase, release history, sitemap and crawl information, and context from the people who managed the change. CRM or commerce data helps prioritize losses by value.
How quickly can diagnosis begin?
Material incidents receive a preservation and triage pass first. The time required for a defensible diagnosis depends on the size of the site, quality of historical data, and complexity of recent changes.
Do you stay after the recovery plan?
Yes. We can implement directly, support engineering and content teams, verify releases, and continue as the managed SEO operator once the immediate incident is stable.
