SEO Basics
Reconsideration Request
A reconsideration request is a request submitted to Google after fixing issues that caused a manual action.
What it means
A reconsideration request is a request submitted to Google after fixing issues that caused a Manual Action. In SEO work, this term is useful when auditing how a page, website, brand or Backlink Profile can be discovered, understood, trusted and selected by search systems. It should be treated as one diagnostic concept inside a wider search visibility workflow, not as a single magic ranking lever.
Why it matters
It matters when a site has received a Manual Action and needs to document cleanup work.
Example
After removing or disavowing manipulative links, a site owner may submit a reconsideration request explaining what changed.
Common mistakes
Do not submit a reconsideration request before actually fixing the policy violation.
