Can a hacked WordPress website affect my Google rankings?

By Mitch E (Pivotal Agency)

Yes. A hacked website can seriously impact your SEO. Google may display security warnings, remove pages from its index, or blacklist your website entirely if malware is detected. The faster the hack is resolved, the better your chances of minimising long-term SEO damage. Once your website is secure, we can also assist with requesting a security review from Google if required.
