Reconsideration evidence packet
A reconsideration request should read like a concise case file. The page below keeps context, remediation, and recurrence controls visible together.
Help searchers understand what belongs in a reconsideration request after remediation.
Name the Search Console label, affected scope, and the root causes found during review.
Summarize what was removed, rewritten, disavowed, consolidated, blocked, or governed.
Explain workflow, moderation, publishing, or technical controls that changed.
Submit when remediation is complete enough to defend
Submitting too early is one of the easiest ways to lose time. The request should follow real remediation, not promise future cleanup. Google reviewers need to see that the cited issue was addressed.
The strongest requests are specific and modest. They do not overclaim, blame Google, or bury the reviewer in irrelevant background.
A useful request has three parts
First, acknowledge the policy issue and explain how it happened. Second, describe the completed cleanup with enough detail that the reviewer can understand the work. Third, explain the controls that reduce the chance of the same pattern returning.
What weakens a reconsideration request
Generic apologies, keyword-stuffed narratives, claims of good intent, and promises to improve later do not substitute for evidence. The request should make the remediation easy to audit.
