Rankings Dropping · Local SEO Recovery

Stop the bleed. Recover the position.

Your map-pack visibility cratered. You're hemorrhaging leads to a competitor you can't even see. Every day of delay is a day of revenue that doesn't come back. We isolate the cause and start the recovery.

The Diagnosis

Rankings don't drop without a cause.

Sudden ranking drops are diagnostic, not random. GBP suspension. Citation decay from a website migration. Algorithm shift. Competitor sabotage. A schema markup that broke during a redesign. The cause is identifiable; most agencies just guess.

Diagnose first. Then recover.

The wrong recovery makes it worse. Aggressive citation pushes can flag spam filters. Mass content drops can trigger thin-content reviews. Bidding up paid to compensate burns budget without fixing the foundation. The right recovery starts with knowing exactly what broke.

Patience first. Panic loses.

The Operation

Three phases. The recovery.

Recovery engagements run a tighter, faster playbook than greenfield engagements. Diagnose precisely, recover surgically, defend the recovered position.

Phase 01

Diagnostic Scan

Local Intelligence — recovery-tuned.

Geo-grid before/after, GBP audit, citation decay scan, schema markup audit, algorithm correlation analysis, competitor activity check. The drop has a fingerprint; we find it.

  • Recovery-tuned 100-point audit
  • Time-correlated drop analysis
  • GBP suspension/edit history
  • Competitor sabotage check

Phase 02

Targeted Recovery

Surgical, not aggressive.

The targeted fix for the specific cause — citation cleanup, schema restoration, GBP reinstatement, content remediation. No carpet-bombing tactics that risk new penalties.

  • Cause-specific fix execution
  • Reinstatement playbook (if suspended)
  • Citation cleanup & consolidation
  • Technical audit remediation
Phase 03

Defensive Operations

Hold what you recovered.

Once the position is recovered, ongoing operations defend it — daily GBP monitoring, citation maintenance, geo-grid scans. The recovery doesn't matter if the position drops again three months later.

  • Daily GBP monitoring
  • Citation drift detection
  • Algorithm-update watchlist
  • Competitor-move alerting

Why this works when others haven't

20 years of recovery patterns. Documented.

Recovery is pattern recognition. The founder has handled hundreds of recovery engagements — GBP suspensions, post-migration disasters, algorithm casualties, competitor sabotage cases. The patterns are knowable. Most agencies have only seen a handful.

Reason 01

Diagnose before treating.

Most agencies start "recovering" before they know what broke. The wrong recovery for the wrong cause can lock penalties in for years. We diagnose first, always.

Reason 02

Surgical, not aggressive.

Recovery isn't about doing more of everything. It's about doing the specific right thing for the specific broken signal. Carpet-bombing tactics introduce more risk than they fix.

Reason 03

Defense built in.

A recovery without ongoing defense gets re-broken. The methodology builds defensive monitoring into Phase 03 — the recovered position stays recovered.
