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!

How Can I influence the Google Selected Canonical
Our company recently rebranded and launched a new website. The website was developed by an overseas team and they created the test site on their subdomain. The only problem is that Google crawled and indexed their site and ours. I noticed Google indexed their sub domain ahead of our domain and based on Search Console it has deemed our content as the duplicate of theirs and the Google selected theirs as the canonical.
Community | | Spaziohouston
The website in question is https://www.spaziointerni.us
What would be the best course of action to get our content ranked and selected instead of being marked as the duplicate?
Not sure if I have to modify the content to make it more unique or have them submit a removal in their search console.
Our indexed pages continue to go down due to this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.1 -
Indexing but Not Ranking
Hello, I have noticed this with some articles. Here is an example:
Content Development | | SneakerFiles
http://www.sneakerfiles.com/air-jordan-11-low-closing-ceremony-release-date/ For the term "Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony" I do not show up on the first 3 pages of Google even though the website has a back link to this particular page (maybe more). It's almost like some pages just disappear. Also I will rank very high (page 1) for a sneaker that is going to release for months then all of a sudden, about a week from the release, I disappear entirely. Not sure why this is (other in my field also rank on page 1 but stay). The site has been around for just about 10 years now with a large amount of backlinks (I don't go out and try to obtain backlinks unless it's something exclusive to share with others). Any help would be greatly appreciated.0 -
Blog Content if Google has stated it doesn't like your blog?
Hi guys, In the new 'mobile usability' tab in Webmaster Tools, Google has stated that our blog isn't offering a good experience for users. Something we already knew and I want to change, but I can't get the budget approved to complete the work. I was just wondering if you think Google isn't going to hold my content very high as a result. I want to produce more content on our blog around our valuable keywords in hope to improve our rankings, but if Google isn't holding our site in high regard I'm thinking there may not be much point in it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

Would you allow guest writers to have google adsense on your site
Hi, i am thinking of building a website where 30% of the writers would be guest bloggers and i was thinking about letting guest bloggers have adsense on the site. What i was thinking of doing was, allowing the guest blogger to have one google adsense advert on the page of the article but not sure what people think. The new magazine would be on one topic but i am worried incase the person kept on pressing the google adsense advert to get money in. The google adsense code would be there code, does anyone know if there is a way from hiding their code so they do not know which one is their google adsense advert, and do people think this is a good idea. This would only be offered to people who write good quality interest content. will be interested to hear your thoughts

Using Google Blogger
Hi, On my website I have a specific blog section, which like most people is linked to Wordpress. I have been advised that to achieve better SEO its also a good idea to use Google Blogger, because it will link back to your website from Google. Obviously we don't want to submit the same articles to Google blogger or else that would be duplicated, but is this something that could benefit and is anyone else doing this? Thanks!

Not accepted in Google news.
Hallo, Our website was not accepted by Google news although we are confident that our site meets all the requirements. We see several other gambling sites already appearing within Google News’ pages, and we contend that, in most cases, our reporting is both timelier and more relevant. We hope you can give us any feedback. http://www.hetpokerspel.nl/nieuws Regards, Thijs Weinands
