Recovering rankings after a botched url change

[madegood]

Hi there,

I have for a long time had a bicycle maintenance website at madegood.org. Over the years the film branch of this business has taken off and moved in a slightly different direction, so I thought in March I decided to move madegood.org to madegoobikes.com, and create a new website for my film business at madegood.com. I thought I did a good job of telling google about my change of domain, but my rankings completely died, so about a month I moved madegoodbikes.com back to madegood.org.

So far I haven't seen any sign of a recovery in my rankings, I'm getting almost no visits. I've check all my top pages on OSE and everything seems to be in place.

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.madegood.org%2F&no_redirects=0&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1

Is it normal to wait over a month for my rankings to recover, or is there anything else I should be doing? Any tips/ideas/advice whatsoever will of huge help!

Oh yeah, right! That's funny, I wonder how that happened. I had a quick peak in Yoast and the various post types and pages were set to no-index. You're a star, thanks a million.

Let's see what happens...

Hi there,

It looks like you have a technical problem which is probably the root of the issue. On the vast majority of your pages (including the homepage) you have a meta robots noindex tag which is telling google not to index your content! You can see here that there are very few pages indexed. Unless there is some specific reason for this setup then you should go into the yoast settings and/or the general wordpress settings and remove this instruction. For yoast check here for the various places to check, for wordpress generally you go to Settings -> Reading and make sure the 'search engine visibility' checkbox is NOT ticked. Hope it helps! If you get that sorted out I would think you will see a pick up in results pretty quickly.
