Google hacked-site warnings
cleared
When Google says your site may be hacked or dangerous, visitors stop coming. We clean the site, then get Google to review it and lift the warning.

The warnings and what they mean
Each one comes from a different part of Google and is cleared a slightly different way.
“This site may be hacked”
Shown under your listing in Google results. Google has found content a third party added, usually spam pages or links.
Red “Dangerous” or “Deceptive site ahead” screen
Google Safe Browsing has flagged the site for malware or phishing. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all show it.
Search Console “Security issues”
The detail behind both: the type of problem, such as hacked content, malware or social engineering, with sample addresses.
Host suspension or email blocklists
Not Google, but they often arrive at the same time, for the same reason.
Why asking for a review too early backfires
Google re-checks the site when you request a review. If the malware, spam pages or redirects are still there, the review fails and the warning stays. Sites that keep getting flagged can be made to wait before they can ask again.
So the order matters: clean the site completely, close the way in, remove the spam pages, and only then ask Google once.
How we clear it
01
Clean the site
Malware, spam pages and redirects removed, the way in closed and the site locked down.
02
Remove the junk from Google
Spam addresses made to return “gone”, the sitemap cleaned, and the worst pages removed from results.
03
Request the review
In Search Console, under Security issues, with a short note on what was fixed. We set up Search Console first if you don’t have it.
04
Watch until it lifts
Google says phishing reviews take about a day, malware a few days, and hacked-spam reviews up to several weeks.

Questions we get asked
How long until the warning goes away?
It depends on the warning. Google says phishing reviews take about a day, malware reviews a few days, and reviews for sites hacked with spam can take up to several weeks. The clock only starts once the site is clean and the review is requested.
Do I need Google Search Console?
Yes. It’s where Google lists the problem and where the review is requested. If your site isn’t set up in Search Console yet, we set it up and verify it with you.
Will my rankings come back?
Usually, once the site is clean and the spam pages are gone, but nobody can promise rankings. We remove the junk pages, fix the sitemap and watch Search Console so Google sees the clean site as quickly as possible.
Is the review request included in the $790?
Yes. Checking Search Console and Safe Browsing and requesting a review are part of every Hacked Website Repair.
Can I ask for a review straight away?
You can, but if Google still finds the problem the review fails, and sites that keep getting flagged can be made to wait before they can ask again. Clean first, then ask once.
