What is a Reconsideration Request?

A reconsideration request is a request made by the search engine to review its website after it has been penalized for breaking the rules. The site owner needs to fix any issues and then ask for a "second chance."

A reconsideration request is important because it offers the chance to restore a website’s ranking after it has been penalized. By submitting the request, the site owner shows that they have fixed the issues, which can help recover lost traffic and visibility in search engine results.
