Negative SEO Defense and Recovery
Detect and recover from spam links, scraped content and malicious attacks aimed at damaging your rankings.
Negative SEO is a deliberate attack on a website’s rankings using toxic links, scraped content, fake reviews or hacked pages. We find the attack, clean it up and protect against more.
We audit your backlinks, content and technical signals, review harmful links, request removal where justified and report malicious activity.
Pricing by email. We review your situation and reply with a clear recommendation and a quote.
How do I know if I am under a negative SEO attack?
