What Is Manual Action?

Manual Action — a restriction applied after human review finds that pages or a site violate a search engine's spam policies, potentially reducing or removing search visibility.

The method or report helps identify changes in indexing, traffic quality, links, or conversions. Data needs context: correlation after a change does not prove that the change caused the result.
