Open Search Console, set Performance to the last 16 months and switch to daily. A core update hit is sharp, usually landing inside one to three days, and it is site-wide rather than confined to a few pages. Check that date against Google’s Search Status Dashboard. A gradual four to six week slide is usually something else, and a drop limited to one URL pattern is usually a narrower change. Getting this right matters, because the wrong diagnosis sends you down a recovery path that cannot work. Our core update recovery playbook walks through the full check.

Check Manual Actions in Search Console first. If that report is clean, you do not have a penalty. A manual action is a human decision and it has a reconsideration request you can actually file. An algorithmic drop has no notice and no appeal, because no human made a decision about your site. People lose months writing reconsideration requests for drops that nobody will ever read. The difference, and what to do about each, is in do you actually have a penalty.

It means Google fetched the page, looked at it, and decided not to add it. It is not a technical error, which is exactly why it gets misdiagnosed so often. Usually the page is not judged worth indexing next to what already ranks, or the site does not carry enough authority for Google to spend crawl budget on it. Changing crawl settings will not fix it. We wrote the full diagnosis in fixing crawled, currently not indexed.

No update has carried that name since 14 September 2023. There were only ever three: August 2022, December 2022 and September 2023. Google has shipped 17 ranking updates since then, nine core, seven spam and one Discover, and not one of them was a helpful content update. What people call an HCU hit today is a site-level quality assessment that now runs continuously inside everything else. Every date is sourced in what actually changed with HCU.

More common than people expect. Injected spam pages, usually gambling or pharma, sit on a real domain and get indexed while the visible site looks completely normal to the owner. The first symptom is rankings collapsing for no obvious reason. A hacked site often shows no manual action at all, so there is nothing to appeal. The fix is removing those pages properly, serving the right status codes so Google stops re-checking them, and finding how they got in. A site that is cleaned but not closed gets reinfected. That work sits inside our penalty and spam recovery service.

No, and nobody honest will. Recovery from a core update usually arrives with a later core update, and Google runs those roughly every two to four months. What we can do is find the actual cause, fix it at the root, and show you the measurable parts moving while we wait for re-evaluation. Anyone who hands you a recovery date is guessing. Realistic timelines by drop type are in how long recovery actually takes.

For most Indian SMBs, a realistic SEO budget is ₹12,000–₹40,000 per month. Below ₹10,000, you're getting automated reports and template work — not real strategy. Our packages start at ₹11,999 for a one-time on-page fix, and monthly retainers start at ₹12,999. Every number is published on this site, so you can compare before you contact anyone.

Because most agencies price based on their office rent and team size, not the actual work. A Mumbai agency with 50 employees has overhead costs that get passed to you. We are a specialist practice rather than a generalist agency, which means the person who diagnoses your site is the person who fixes it.

Under ₹8,000/month, SEO is usually limited to automated tools and basic link building. Results can fall short of expectations and, in some cases, create issues with Google that are expensive to correct later. Investing in the right budget upfront usually delivers much stronger long-term returns.

For technical fixes (GSC errors, speed optimization), you'll see improvements in 4-8 weeks. For keyword rankings and organic traffic growth, expect 3-6 months of consistent work. For our penalty recovery clients, we typically see traffic recovery within 2-4 months. SEO isn't instant — but unlike paid ads, the results compound over time.

Everything a typical agency charges ₹35,000-50,000 for. Full Google Search Console audit, crawl analysis with Screaming Frog, Core Web Vitals diagnosis, broken link cleanup, redirect fixes, sitemap/robots.txt optimization, and structured data error resolution. Plus we actually implement the fixes — not just hand you a PDF checklist.

Absolutely. Most of our clients start with the Technical Revive (₹14,999) or On-Page Foundation (₹11,999) to fix the basics first. Once they see results, many upgrade to a monthly retainer for ongoing growth. There's no pressure — we'll tell you honestly whether a retainer makes sense for your business right now.

Yes, we work with businesses across India — Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and tier-2 cities too. SEO is 100% remote. Everything happens through Google Search Console, crawl tools, written reports, and shared dashboards. Being based in Guwahati actually works in your favor — our overhead is lower, so you get better value without paying Mumbai agency rates.
