    Pigeon update affect only local search. Are you sure that was the cause for decreasing traffic?

    The pigeon update isn't the reason why your site lost all it's traffic. Buy a new domain name and 301 the old site to the new one. Doing this might help your site regain it's former rankings and traffic, but the penalty might transition to the new domain after a few weeks.

    Or you can just start afresh on a new domain name.

    Start it over. Since your business rely on Google, you have to accept that.

    Did you have a keyword rich domain? or a brandable one?
    Did you outsource the content or wrote it yourself?
    How competitive is the niche you were in?
