It seems Google is having issues crawling and indexing some of your site content. This could be due to technical SEO issues like site architecture, use of no index tags, or thin content. I would recommend doing an SEO audit to uncover and fix problems. An affordable digital marketing company can analyze your site's indexing issues, structure, metadata, etc., and provide specific recommendations to improve crawlability and search visibility. With some targeted technical SEO optimizations, you can likely get your informative articles to start ranking.

@NextHeadphone Sure thing! If you're puzzled about why Google isn't picking up your articles, there could be a few culprits. Check if your website's robots.txt file is allowing Googlebot to crawl the content you want them to see, ensure your articles don't have a "noindex" meta tag in the HTML, and provide Google with a map of your site through an XML sitemap. Also, make sure your content is substantial and unique to avoid the duplicate content penalty. Speed up your site for a smoother crawl, fix any crawl errors, and ensure your website is mobile-friendly and secure with an SSL certificate. Encourage backlinks and social sharing to boost your site's visibility. If you've addressed these factors and your articles are still flying under Google's radar, be patient, as changes may take time. For persistent issues, consider consulting SEO professionals or seeking advice from Google support.

If you're experiencing issues with Google not indexing your website or specific pages, there are several potential reasons and solutions to consider. Here are some common issues and steps to address them:
-
Robots.txt File: Check your website's
robots.txt
file to ensure it is not blocking search engine crawlers from accessing certain parts of your site. Make sure the pages you want indexed are not disallowed. -
Noindex Meta Tag: Ensure that the
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
tag is present in the HTML<head>
section of your pages. This tag tells search engines to index the content. -
Canonical Tags: Verify that canonical tags are used correctly to specify the preferred version of a page if you have duplicate content.
-
Sitemap: Submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console. This helps Google discover and index your pages more efficiently.
-
Crawl Errors: Check Google Search Console for crawl errors. Resolve any issues reported, such as broken links or server errors.
-
Page Quality: Google tends to prioritize high-quality content. Ensure your content is relevant, original, and provides value to users.
-
Website Speed: Page loading speed can impact indexing. Optimize your website's performance for faster loading times.
-
Mobile Friendliness: Google gives preference to mobile-friendly websites. Ensure your site is responsive and functions well on mobile devices.
-
Fetch as Google: Use the "Fetch as Google" feature in Google Search Console to request indexing for specific pages.
-
Manual Actions: Check Google Search Console for any manual actions against your site. Address and resolve any issues specified in the manual actions report.
Remember that Google's indexing process may take some time. If you've addressed the above issues and still experience problems, it's advisable to monitor Google Search Console for any additional messages or errors related to indexing. If the problem persists, seeking advice from webmaster forums or consulting with SEO professionals may be beneficial.

Is there anyone who can take a look and find the issues why google is not indexing my articles? I will be waiting for your replyIt appears that your informative articles on 'www.nextheadphone.com', such as those about noise-canceling headphones, aren't being indexed by Google, and you're seeking insights into why this might be happening. To address this:
Check Google Search Console: Ensure your site is registered and verified with Google Search Console. Look for any crawl errors or manual actions.
Content Quality and Originality: Evaluate if your content is unique, high-quality, and provides value to readers. Duplicate or low-quality content is often not indexed.
SEO Optimization: Review your SEO practices, including keywords, meta tags, and descriptions, to ensure they align with best practices.
Sitemap and Robots.txt: Ensure your sitemap is submitted to Google and your robots.txt file isn’t blocking these pages.
If you're still unsure, consider reaching out to an SEO professional or a digital marketing forum for a more in-depth analysis.

Sure, I'll be happy to help. I took a quick look at your articles, and it seems like your website is relatively new. Google might take some time to index new sites and their content, especially informative articles.
To improve your chances of getting indexed, make sure your site is properly configured for search engines. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, and focus on creating high-quality, original content. It's also essential to build some backlinks to your site from reputable sources.

What Service Page Strategy Should We Use to Target City-Specific Local Intent Service Keywords?
Hey guys! We are targeting a number of cities in the Nassau and Suffolk County areas for foundation repair, insulation, and mold remediation keywords, and we were debating on creating city-specific pages for each location and service, or creating one service page for each type of service that contains all of the services and solutions within that service category for each city. Example: City-Specific Pages for Each Service: One page for say foundation repair, one page for foundation crack repair, one page for foundation problems, etc. (for each target city) Service Category Pages for Each City: One page for foundation contractors that lists all services on one page in sections. Which one do you think is better for local SEO and rankings? Both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages to me. Just to throw a couple out there, the category pages may not rank as high as the city pages for each individual service if our competitors have a whole page designed for that service and we only have a part of a page covering the topic. At the same time, they would save labor hours, technical issues would be less, and they would be condensed, and we would have WAY less mess on the backend. I appreciate your expert opinion on this one. The site is www. zavzaseal.com in case you want to check us out.

GoogleBot still crawling HTTP/1.1 years after website moved to HTTP/2
Whole website moved to https://www. HTTP/2 version 3 years ago. When we review log files, it is clear that - for the home page - GoogleBot continues to only access via HTTP/1.1 protocol Robots file is correct (simply allowing all and referring to https://www. sitemap Sitemap is referencing https://www. pages including homepage Hosting provider has confirmed server is correctly configured to support HTTP/2 and provided evidence of accessing via HTTP/2 working 301 redirects set up for non-secure and non-www versions of website all to https://www. version Not using a CDN or proxy GSC reports home page as correctly indexed (with https://www. version canonicalised) but does still have the non-secure version of website as the referring page in the Discovery section. GSC also reports homepage as being crawled every day or so. Totally understand it can take time to update index, but we are at a complete loss to understand why GoogleBot continues to only go through HTTP/1.1 version not 2 Possibly related issue - and of course what is causing concern - is that new pages of site seem to index and perform well in SERP ... except home page. This never makes it to page 1 (other than for brand name) despite rating multiples higher in terms of content, speed etc than other pages which still get indexed in preference to home page. Any thoughts, further tests, ideas, direction or anything will be much appreciated!

Best practices for publishing sponsored content
Hello, Our website hosts sponsored content from different brands. Should we be listing the sponsor either on the frontend and/or through markup? - Would either way have any sort of an impact? The content itself is already clearly marked as 'sponsored content' but we were more interested in listing the specific sponsor. Also, we’re assuming the outbound links would need to be marked rel="sponsored" but are there any other best practices we should be implementing? Any insight would be appreciated.

Can't get Google to index our site although all seems very good
Hi there, I am having issues getting our new site, https://vintners.co indexed by Google although it seems all technical and content requirements are well in place for it. In the past, I had way poorer websites running with very bad setups and performance indexed faster. What's concerning me, among others, is that the crawler of Google comes from time to time when looking on Google Search Console but does not seem to make progress or to even follow any link and the evolution does not seem to do what google says in GSC help. For instance, our sitemap.xml was submitted, for a few days, it seemed like it had an impact as many pages were then visible in the coverage report, showing them as "detected but not yet indexed" and now, they disappeared from the coverage report, it's like if it was not detected any more. Anybody has any advice to speed up or accelerate the indexing of a new website like ours? It's been launched since now almost two months and I was expected, at least on some core keywords, to quickly get indexed.

Company blog relaunch. Best practices with Google Algorithm updates in mind?
We have a company blog living on our corporate domain. The blog contained many posts with keywords and we believe google is penalizing us for over optimization as we use to be ranked in the top 5 for our main keyword now we're on page 8. Keeping this in mind, we are planning to relaunch the blog and we wanted to get some tips on best practices that addressing the following questions. Should we archive _all _of our previously published content and start fresh with this relaunch? Should we keep 50 or so published blogs visible? Where should this blog live (on our domain or a wholly separate domain)? We'd love to get thoughts and opinions, and any insight about best practices for a blog relaunch.

I have created 2 blogs for a client as they have 2 domains (1 for their core business, and 1 for a product). I want to use the same content on both blogs. What is the best way to set this up so there are no ranking or duplicate content issues?
We are pushing SEO for only one of the domains, therefore I would like one to be dominant. We will be sending the blog post via email to their database, therefore each blog needs to have the same content. Thank you!
