A US-based studio approached me after their website was hacked, which resulted in hundreds of spammy Japanese URLs being generated and indexed on Google.

This not only damaged their SEO rankings but also hurt their brand credibility. I immediately performed a full security audit to identify malicious code and unauthorized scripts, then cleaned and secured the site at the server level. After removing the injected URLs, I set up proper redirects and submitted a clean sitemap in Google Search Console to speed up re-indexing.

I also hardened the site’s security with firewall protection, regular backups, and updated plugins/themes to prevent future vulnerabilities. Within weeks, the spam URLs were de-indexed, organic traffic was restored, and the site regained its rightful rankings in search results.
