How to prevent SEO hijacking?

Several of my websites have been seo hijacked by blackhatseo.
The content has been duplicated, my website is disappearing from search results and the duplicated site is replacing my ranking.

In other cases, only the meta content is copied, and when you visit the copied site, nothing appears.

How can I defend against this? I want to learn even i pay.

To prevent SEO hijacking, make sure your website use https, keep the site software and content up-to-date, and remain vigilant for any unusual fluctuations in search engine rankings or backlink profiles. In your situation, if your website has already been compromised, you should disallow any harmful links, secure your site, and then request a review through google search console.

Sorry to hear that best defense is regular DMCA takedowns, setting up canonical tags, monitoring with tools like Copyscape, and tightening site security.

can you DM me the example url of that site who copied your content? unless that is identified it will be difficult to resolve it.

Lock your SEO by securing logins, using 2FA, monitoring backlinks/redirects, tracking sudden content changes, and protecting your domain with registrar locks.
