13. 5 situations to test your instincts with an SEO attack protection consultant, according to an SEO protection consultant
Five real cases, each corrected and explained by your SEO attack protection consultant, to test your instincts before starting a project:
-
1/5 Sharp traffic drop, a competitor suspected. Your webmaster wants to disavow it all. First?
A drop can come from an algorithm update, not an attack: diagnosis comes before any disavow. Learn more
-
2/5 Pages you never published show up indexed on your domain. What is the problem?
Injected pages are a security problem first: clean-up, updates and hardened access come first. Learn more
-
3/5 A site copies your articles and now outranks you in Google. What do you do?
A copier can end up treated as the source: a takedown file with timestamped evidence removes it. Learn more
-
4/5 Your site goes down under attack during every traffic peak. What actually helps?
Attacks hit during your peaks: cache, WAF, filtering rules and a failover plan keep the site online. Learn more
-
5/5 An abusive DMCA complaint targets one of your pages. Which response do you choose?
A counter-notification within the deadline, with proof of anteriority: most abusers never follow up. Learn more
14. SEO protection consultant FAQ
Ask the AI your question
Instant answer, drawn only from the content of this page.
How do I know I am under attack?
Sharp drop on a few queries, a wave of unknown links, pages gone from the index: check all three before concluding. Each step is documented so your team can take it over on its own.
Does link disavow still work for SEO protection?
Yes, but as a last resort and surgical. Mass disavowing as a precaution often hurts more than the attack. Your own numbers show it too, page by page, in Search Console (Google’s free tool to monitor a site).
What about an abusive DMCA?
A counter-notification within the deadline, with proof of anteriority. Most abusive complainants never follow up. The detail gets refined during our first call, from your own data.
Are SEO attacks such as negative SEO real?
Yes, but they are rarer than people say. Most drops come from somewhere else. The exact steps for your site are in the action plan handed over after the audit.
How can I confirm an SEO attack on my site?
By correlating the date of the drop with known updates and the link profile. Without that correlation, it is only a hypothesis. I show you the process on your own site, with concrete examples.
