Is there a way to get Google to index more of your pages for SEO ranking?
-
We have a 100 page website, but Google is only indexing a handful of pages for organic rankings. Is there a way to submit to have more pages considered? I have optimized meta data and get good Moz "on-page graders" or the pages & terms that I am trying to connect....but Google doesn't seem to pick them up for ranking. Any insight would be appreciated!

You need to suscribe in Google Master Tools and send your site map to Google. You will get more autority with that.

Three quick things you should do and I am sure the indexing ratio will go high!
- Index your website to Google Webmaster tool. If you are already there submit your xml sitemap to GWT and make sure it’s approved from there.
- Make sure the internal linking is done correctly. Don’t overdo it but atleast to some extent so that bots can move to other relevant pages on the website.
- The URLs are not indexing consider pushing them via social (twitter tweets would be ideal)
Bonus: If you can get quality links back to those pages that are not indexed would be mindblowing as this way the indexing will guaranteed.
Also check your robots.txt file to make sure no URL is blocked from Google index.
Hope this helps!

Hi Julie. Have you added your site to Google Webmaster Tools? From there you'll be able to submit a site map as well as run crawl and render tests to ensure Google is able to access and see your site.
If you have already done that, perhaps include the domain here that is having trouble so you can get more specific recommendations. Cheers!

Site's meta description is not being shown in Google Search results. Instead our privacy policy is getting indexed.
We re-launched our new site and put in the re-directs. Our site is https://www.fico.com/en. When I search for "fico" in Google. I see the privacy policy getting indexed as meta descriptions instead of our actual meta description. I have edited the meta description, requested Google to re-index our site. Not sure what to do next? Thanks for your advise.

Will redirecting a logged in user from a public page to an equivalent private page (not visible to google) impact SEO?
Hi, We have public pages that can obviously be visited by our registered members. When they visit these public pages + they are logged in to our site, we want to redirect them to the equivalent (richer) page on the private site e.g. a logged in user visiting /public/contentA will be redirected to /private/contentA Note: Our /public pages are indexed by Google whereas /private pages are excluded. a) will this affect our SEO? b) if not, is 302 the best http status code to use? Cheers

Blog page won't get indexed
Hi Guys, I'm currently asked to work on a website. I noticed that the blog posts won't get indexed in Google. www.domain.com/blog does get indexed but the blogposts itself won't. They have been online for over 2 months now. I found this in the robots.txt file: Allow: / Disallow: /kitchenhandle/ Disallow: /blog/comments/ Disallow: /blog/author/ Disallow: /blog/homepage/feed/ I'm guessing that the last line causes this issue. Does anyone have an idea if this is the case and why they would include this in the robots.txt? Cheers!

We run Google Adwords and we contacted them and they looked at the keywords and sent screenshots to us showing the ranking we still there. But they are not... as proven in Webmaster tools. So Adwords told us to ask Webmaster Tools to reconsider the site again. Nothing yet... What do you suggest?0 -
Web page is showing up on Google but doesn't show when it was cached, so is it indexed?
Hey everyone So I created a new page on a WordPress website, it was live for a few hours till I changed my mind & switched it back to a draft. Just out of curiosity I did the Site:www.example.com/Example search on Google to see if it had been indexed & apparently it had but when I click on cached to see what time it got indexed at exactly it's showing me an error. So does this mean it is indexed or not?
