After diagnosing a catastrophic loss of 1,212 backlinks, I implemented a comprehensive SEO recovery strategy for Swadesi. Through systematic audits covering internal linking, on-page optimization, and off-page recovery, I reversed the visibility decline. The results speak clearly: organic clicks increased from 4,540 to 11,600 (156% growth) between November 2024 and June 2025, while maintaining over 3.34 million impressions and achieving an average ranking position of 18.3.
