801 toxic domains disavowed, rankings recovered

Problem

A manufacturer was hit by a negative SEO attack: roughly 400,000 spam backlinks aimed at tanking its rankings.

Solution

We diagnosed the attack, identified the toxic sources, and disavowed 801 domains, then monitored recovery.

Results

Rankings recovered. The brand was protected against a repeat by ongoing monitoring.

Karim Daaboul

Founder & Principal Consultant

Karim Daaboul has spent his career between B2B aluminum manufacturing and search, so he knows how suppliers actually get specified and bought. He recovered a manufacturer from a 400,000-backlink negative SEO attack, and he runs automated, human-edited content systems plus ongoing search work for an industrial exporter. Surgelume keeps a small client roster on purpose, so the work stays hands-on.

Surgelume's own pages are built to be cited by AI. Add specific AI-citation wins once confirmed.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how often and how favorably AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews mention or cite your company when buyers ask questions in your category. It is measured by testing real buyer prompts and tracking citation share over time.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO earns ranking positions on a results page. AEO (answer engine optimization) earns inclusion in the single synthesized answer an AI gives. The work overlaps, but AEO depends more on structured content, entity consistency, and presence in third-party sources AI trusts. We do both; the goal is the same: be found.
How long until results?
The audit shows your current position in two weeks. Citation improvements from a sprint typically appear within the 90-day window because placements take effect faster than traditional rankings. Compounding visibility is a 6 to 12 month build. We never guarantee specific placements; anyone who does is guessing.
Why a five-client cap on retainers?
Because the work is done by the specialist you hired, not handed to a junior team. The cap keeps it that way.
