      A disgruntled web developer registered my domain with a dozen spammer sites, so my score plummeted. Is there a way to get these removed?

        Hi 🙂

        I’d recommend trying to manually remove them first by going directly to the webmaster. Failing that you may need to look at using Google’s disavow tool however lately I heard you shouldn’t really use it unless you have a manual action.

        Hope this helps!

        Cheers,

        Casey
