When your site is flagged.
WHAT HAPPENS
Search engines and browsers warn visitors that your site is harmful.
That warning stops almost all traffic.
WHAT TO DO
Clean the site completely first Verify it is clean Request a review through Search Console
THE ORDER MATTERS
Requesting a review before the site is clean fails and delays the process.
WHERE TO REQUEST IT
Search Console reports the security issue and provides a review request.
WHAT TO INCLUDE
What was wrong What you did That it is now clean
HOW LONG IT TAKES
Days, usually.
Longer if the review finds remaining problems.
WHAT IF IT FAILS
Something remains. Clean more thoroughly and request again.
Repeated failed reviews extend the process.
FOR BROWSER WARNINGS
Usually clear once the search engine review passes.
WHAT TO DO MEANWHILE
Tell customers the site is temporarily affected and give them another way to reach you.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Request review repeatedly without changing anything.
