Why Disavow?
Have you noticed a sudden drop in organic traffic? Did Google Search Console alert you to unnatural or suspicious links? Or have you used risky link building strategies in the past? In these cases, your site may need a SEO cleanupusing Google’s disavow tool.
Our service helps you remove the negative weight of toxic backlinks and tells Google which links should not be counted toward your site’s ranking.
What is the disavow file for?
The disavow file is a .txt
document submitted to Google via Search Console. It contains a list of domains or URLs that you want Google to ignore when evaluating your backlink profile.
This is a sensitive procedure that should be used carefully—but when done properly, it can protect or restore your site’s visibility, especially after algorithmic or manual penalties.
