The challenge

Organic traffic had collapsed after the Google Medic update in August 2018, and the causes had to be found and cleaned up before any growth was possible.

A health-food store hit hard by Google's Medic core update, brought back with clean-up, content and natural link building.

What we did

  • Disavowed spam and low-quality backlinks.
  • Fixed on-page and responsiveness issues.
  • Updated content and site structure, and pushed regular blogging.
  • An aggressive but natural link building strategy.
