Got a Transparency manual action in a website (i think it's al old one from the previous owner, it was already there as soon i created the GSC). Appealed around 2 weeks ago but still not update.

How long does this usually takes?

Thanks!

The period of two weeks is not an odd one, especially if the manual intervention requires further analysis. What is important here is to ensure that the problem has been solved before asking for a new review.

We'll have to wait a little longer to see the sample.

as far as i understand, this is not something extraordiinary since two weeks is not that long. it may depend on the kind of action nd how the google review queue looks like.if this action existed before u purchased the domain i would also check the content nd links created by the previous owner of this domain.by the way, do u know how much time usually takes a transparency manual action?

Two weeks isn’t unusual. Google says reconsideration reviews can take several weeks so I wouldn’t worry yet or submit another request while the current one is pending.

In my past experience, I have worked on a website which took 1 year to get the manual action removed from the website after submission of reconsideration. We had received manual action due to backlinks. Disavow files are checked from the Google sites. If Google feels backlinks are spammy then we need to again appeal the reconsideration request by uploading the updated disavow file.

Two weeks isn't necessarily unusual. Manual action reviews can take some time, especially if Google has a backlog. If the issue was already on the domain before you took it over, I'd make that clear in the reconsideration request and explain what you've changed.
