How can I fix the indexing issue?

s2maxno1s2 · Nov 25, 2023

Hello everyone!
My website was hacked on the 22nd, and I have rectified the issue since then. Currently, keywords ranking in the Top 0-1 have all disappeared from the rankings and can't be indexed. I have tried using indexing tools, running Google ads, and sharing on social media, but I can't re-index.
Since the hack was discovered within a day, I haven't received any notifications in the Search Console.

How can I fix the indexing issue?

I hope everyone can help, thank you."

if you don't have many URLs try requesting indexation via GSC, sometimes it helps. Although... do the URLs show up when you look them up using site: ?

I also use GSC but there are no results. I use site: and still see them appearing. So, how should this be handled? Or do we still have to wait?

if they show up when you use site: then they're indexed. The problem is that they don't rank anymore, and this is another story that is even more complicated (but probably you've been hit by one of google's updates)

I think it's because of a Google update. It's not natural for all my top 1 keywords to drop so quickly.

If your site was hacked, make sure to remove malware and revert any changes the hacker did to your site. Use Wordfence for that.

Next step should be to collect all the spam urls through GSC and feed them to the Ultimate 410 plugin in wordpress. This way Google will never recrawl those pages again.

However, to regain your rankings, this will take several weeks for sure.

Might be a Google update reason, but this is very unusual drop too much

It happened to me one time because I forget updating one plugin then my rank started to drop. If you did the correction the best thing that you can is to wait.

Tell Google your website is fixed through Search Console, and make sure it's highly secure, keep making your site better so Google will notice it again

Fix your hacked website quickly, then use Google Search Console, indexing tools, Google ads, and social media shares to get back the rankings for your keywords.

To prevent future hacks, regularly update your website software, use strong and unique passwords, implement a reliable security plugin, and conduct routine security audits.

Focus on high quality content is the key for all matter.

langthanger45 · Jan 13, 2025

A hacked website is a bad thing, because Google will lose indexing signal for a long time.

I've also been hacked a few times, but because I detected it early, I was able to fix it.

You need to resubmit the sitemap, Google Search Console, and may need to build more quality backlinks.

Good luck.
