What's really behind your losses.

Negative SEO, click fraud, content spam, or fake reviews are no longer the exception. Digital attacks hit companies of every size and often go unnoticed for weeks or months. Meanwhile, rankings drop, ad budgets get drained by invalid clicks, and your online reputation takes a hit.

The problem: the effects often become visible long before the actual cause is identified. Many companies invest in new content, additional advertising, or technical optimizations without ever realizing that a targeted attack is the real source of their losses.

We conduct a forensic analysis of what's really behind your losses. We identify the manipulation, document the causes in a clear, traceable way, and eliminate the attacks for good. That creates the foundation for stable rankings, efficient ad campaigns, and a protected digital presence.

Reducing SEO Risk from Problematic Backlinks

Toxic, unnatural, or manipulative links are identified, evaluated, and neutralized in a targeted way - before they trigger ranking losses or a manual Google penalty.

A Clear Assessment of Link Profile Quality

You get a transparent, traceable assessment of your entire link profile - not an automatically generated tool report, but a manually reviewed risk analysis with real substance.

Long-Term Protection of Organic Visibility

A continuously monitored link profile protects your rankings from unexpected penalties and ensures backlinks work as they're supposed to: a positive ranking factor.

A Solid Basis for Further SEO Decisions

Knowing where your link profile truly stands lets you plan SEO measures more precisely - and avoid optimizing in areas that link risks would hold back anyway.

Cyber crime doesn't wait

Digital attacks on rankings, ad budgets, and online reputation are no longer the exception. They hit companies of every size — often unnoticed, for weeks or months at a time. Anyone who doesn't forensically analyze the cause keeps investing in SEO and advertising without ever realizing that a targeted attack is the real source of their losses. We identify, document, and eliminate.

  • Over 68% of unexplained ranking losses in the top 10 trace back to content spam.
  • 20% of all Google Ads clicks are fraudulent — and your budget bears the cost.
  • Negative SEO is economic crime — and in most cases, legally actionable.

REMOVING HARMFUL INFLUENCES

Watch out! Negative SEO is a crime

Suddenly devalued! The content on your website is good. That worry is often unfounded. What you're more likely dealing with is "negative SEO." A competitor's position can be deliberately influenced by setting bad backlinks and launching spam attacks. This targets a specific domain, directory, or keyword ranking.

Some less reputable agencies use these tactics to push their own clients onto Google's page 1. But beware! Measures like spam attacks fall into the realm of economic crime! They're punishable by law.

Unfortunately, negative SEO attacks hit everyone – even small, local businesses. We find out whether your ranking losses or penalties were triggered by negative SEO. And we fix it. So your website can be found safely again.

Frequently Asked

Questions and Answers

What Is Cybercrime?

Cybercrime refers to criminal activity on the internet. In relation to your website, this includes hacking attacks, fake reviews, content theft, spam attacks, and Google Ads click fraud.

What Is Negative SEO?

Unnatural, sudden ranking losses are often associated with content spam and/or negative SEO. A common cause of sharp declines in Google rankings is a spam attack involving harmful backlinks, such as low-quality links that do not comply with Google’s guidelines.
Negative SEO is therefore a spam attack directed at a domain, a directory, or a specific keyword. We have been removing negative SEO attacks within just a few days since 2016.

What is Content Spam?

Content spam refers to the theft of valuable content from your website, which is then duplicated on other websites. These sites usually contain links to casino, dating, and adult content offers. The improper use of your content creates duplicate content that becomes associated with negative content. As a result, the content loses its value, causing a significant and often rapid decline in rankings for the original website. In many cases, this can even lead to the original page being excluded from the Google index.

What Is Click Fraud?

Enzyklopaedie | SEYBOLD

Click fraud is a targeted attack on your advertising budget. Click fraud refers to internet scams that specifically target advertisements and banner ad impressions that are paid for on a per-click basis. These clicks are used to deliberately manipulate the systems behind the billing process. According to a study by ClickCease, 72% of ad clicks are genuine clicks. 24% of clicks come from competitors, and 4% are generated by bots. Click fraud is an offense that falls under the category of economic crime.

How Do I Get Rid of Fake Reviews?

Fake reviews are often submitted by unknown individuals and are reviews of your business without any connection to your company. These people are unknown to you, and in almost all cases, there has been no business relationship. Such reviews can be reported to Google. A legally enforced removal is also possible. Our services help identify and remove these reviews.
