Recovering a site hit by a core update
A well-established home-improvement site had lost roughly half its traffic after a core algorithm update and was earning a fraction of its former revenue. The owner was close to selling at a loss.
We pruned thin and duplicate content, rebuilt the internal linking around buyer intent, fixed Core Web Vitals, and rotated in stronger affiliate offers on the highest-traffic guides. Recovery was gradual, then compounding.
