Webmasters/Site owners Help

Watch a video on why your site may not be appearing in search results and how to get it reconsidered.

If your site isn't appearing in Google search results, or it's performing more poorly than it once did (and you believe that it does not violate our webmaster guidelines), you can ask Google to reconsider your site.

In addition, if you recently purchased a domain that you think may have violated our guidelines before you owned it, you can use the reconsideration request form to let us know that you recently acquired the site and that it now adheres to the guidelines.

To request reconsideration of your site:

1. First, make sure you've added your site to your Webmaster Tools account, and verified site ownership.
2. Sign in to Google Webmaster Tools.
3. On the Dashboard, under Talk to Google in the list on the right, click Request reconsideration and follow the steps.
