Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey there Since you are using a CMS just about everything will show up as a page…especially if you are using WordPress. I would suggest disallowing the indexing of these pages. Even if you were able to get meta description tags in there, they wouldn't do anything for your SEO since they are just one image on a page. If you are using WordPress, there is a setting in the backend that stops the indexing of media pages. That will stop this problem you are having. Hope that helps!

Removing the page should more than likely be a basic task. However knowing if what they have done was worthwhile would require a well-practiced eye. I don't want to discourage you, but it sounds like you may not be that well-versed with off-page. So, for the low low cost of reading this; I can give you a few things to watch out for. I'm sure some others will jump in, and I would be grateful for that as well. I probably won't remember to mention everything, and I may learn something. All of that is the real reason I come back to Q&A, aside from the fact that I want to solve problems. I blame my dad. Nevertheless, here's what to look out for: A lot of exact match anchors (your target keywords) Low quality directories (You will know them if you can search adult, pharma and casino keywords in their search function.) Paid stuffs (A dead giveaway is an 'Ad' that actually passes juice - not nofollow or otherwise 'neutered'.) Unrelated links (This means you, due to the reciprocals. You aren't related to a thatcher in New Zealand... or at least most likely not.) All of the above are examples of things that may get your site penalized, depending on the circumstances. Now if the agency was doing a lot of low quality directory listings, there's actually something pretty new you should be aware of. A lot of low quality directories are blocking popular crawlers. So maybe a lot of links aren't gone, just your favorite crawlers have been blocked. Get all your standard link datas: GWT, BWT, Majestic, Ahrefs, etc. - filter duplicates and commence crawling. That's where Screaming Frog also comes in handy. You can spoof a popular user agent, thus you will not be blocked. So you will have a better idea of the actual links that exist, or don't exist, to your site. This is what you have to do, brochacho. Chin up.
