Restoring Your Site to Search Engine Results After it was Removed

In this article
  • Step 1 | Resolve any issues with your site
  • Step 2 | Request a review of your site
  • Step 3 | Add original content to help improve your site's ranking
If your site no longer appears in search results, it's possible that the search engine has deliberately removed your site. There are many possible reasons that a search engine might do this.
For example, black hat SEO is a type of search engine optimization that uses unethical techniques to manipulate search ranking results for the site. These techniques don't comply with search engine guidelines for quality. If you use these techniques, intentionally or unintentionally, your site might be removed from search results. Learn more about black hat SEO.

Step 1 | Resolve any issues with your site

Usually, search engines will let you know what issues exist on your site. For example, Google gives you with a Manual Actions report in Google Search Console that details the issues with your site. 
Make sure to follow any advice from search engines to make sure your site is compliant with their quality guidelines before you request a review. 


Step 2 | Request a review of your site

After you've removed any black hat SEO optimization and resolved any other issues, you can request a reconsideration review
These reviews can take several days or weeks to complete, and the search engine will notify you when it's done. 

Step 3 | Add original content to help improve your site's ranking

One of the best ways to  rank higher in search engine results is to regularly add original content to your site. The rank of your page depends on the quality of your content and  how relevant it is to certain keywords. You should also try to use your keywords and search phrases organically throughout your content. 
Here as some ways that you can create high-quality content that organically uses your keywords: 
  • Describe the main purpose of your site in different ways with a variety of keywords
  • Go into as much detail as you can about what you do, what services or products you offer, and what your users can get from your site
  • Write content that answers popular questions related to your keywords
  • Create a blog for news updates and new trends
  • Make an FAQs page to help customers with common questions
  • Add a testimonials page for customer reviews
