4. Check Manual Actions
If your website violates Google's spam policies , you may receive manual action from Google.

In practice, a manual action means that your website's ranking will be job database reduced until Google revokes the action. This action may affect one page or your entire website.

Here are some reasons why you may have received a manual action:

Keyword stuffing
Unnatural links (both to and from your website).
Various types of spam.
Thin content with little or no added value
You can check if you have received a manual action in Google Search Console. Down in the left sidebar menu, you will see a section called " Security and Manual Actions ", and within this, a link to " Manual Actions ".

Click and you will be taken to a page where you will see the status of the actions.

Hopefully, you'll see a green check mark indicating that no issues have been detected.

If there is a manual action against your site, you must fix the issues and submit a reconsideration request. See Google's Manual Actions guide for more details.

For example, if you have received a manual action as a result of purchasing backlinks ("unnatural links to your site"), you will need to get rid of those backlinks by contacting the webmasters or disavowing them .
