My homepage dropped off of Google today? Any ideas?
-
My site, www.leaffilter.com, previously ranked #1 for searches of "leaffilter" and "leaf filter". Today the #1 ranking for "leaffilter" with Google is gone. Well, it's not gone on all internet connection. At home the #1 ranking is in place. At the office computer it is not anywhere near page 1.
I'm testing searches logged in, not logged in, cache and cookies cleared, different browsers.
Other, secondary pages, are appearing on page 1. It looks as if the homepage is just no longer indexed...but not on all internet connection.
Any ideas what is happening? Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips?

I understand what you are saying and I have the same results when I search for it. His home page www.leaffilter.com is not #1 this page is when I search for it. www.leaffilter.com/contact-leaffilter/leaffilter-locations /

Hi
Check your google analytics account, if visits drop therefore you might have lost rankings

Strange. If I search for leaf filter I see you at #1 on my computer and my iphone.
I wonder if someone on your office computer accidentally clicked on "block all results from this website"? It seems to only appear sporadically for me, but occasionally if I go to a site and then go immediately back to the SERPS Google will give me the option to block this site from future searches.
Not sure how to undo it, but if you think that's the case a quick Google search should help you figure it out.

Thanks for checking.
I'm still a little confused as to what might be happening. Attached is a screenshot from a mobile device. Leaffilter.com is not ranking on this connection. And, if I search for "leaffilter.com" a lot of secondary pages are on the SERP, but not the homepage.

I did a quick search on leaffilter, leaf filter and sure enough, you are in 1st place in the SERP with a link to the homepage.
I think you search leaffilter and leaf filter many times on home computer that way at home the #1 ranking is in place.

Google Displaying Wrong Homepage URL
Hi Everyone, Google is displaying www.domain.com instead of domain.com. We have our preferred URL set up as domain.com, and even redirect www.domain.com to domain.com, but in the search results it is showing www.domain.com. Problem is we are seeing referral data from www.domain.com and in Google it says "No information is available for this page." Anyone seen a way to resolve this?

Homepage not showing up in Google even when searching exact title tag
why does my site not show up in Google even when you search exact homepage title tag or business name (Brand-It Web Design)? You can even search the exact title tag for my site and it does not show up. If you search site:branditwebdesign.com you will see that it is there. But just the homepage doesn't show up in search for anything else. We have probably tried everything in the world to get this working. Any suggestions?

Switching from Google Plus Local to Google Plus Business
Greetings, We have a website design firm located in India. We wanted to target customers in our city who are looking for website design locally. And with google plus local and a few content marketing would get us into first page very soon because none in the competition is using social signals or even content marketing. BUT unfortunately from last month even though our Google Places is verified we cant verify our Google Local Plus page https://plus.google.com/b/116513400635428782065/ It just shows error 500. Its a bug and its been a year for people without it being addressed. So we are skeptical if our strategy would work without Google+. At the least we decided we would just make company local page and connect it with website. But it might not have effect as local. So we are still unsure which step to take either to wait for google to fix it.(feedbacks emails calls nothing worked) OR We start the process with Google Business Category.

Two homepage urls
We have two different homepages for our website. One is designed for daytime users (i.e. businesses), whereas the second night version is designed with home consumers in mind. Is this hurting our SEO by having two homepage urls, instead of just building a strong presence around one? We have set up canonical meta on each one: On the night version: domain.com/indexnight.html we have a On the day version: domain.com/index.html we have a It seems to me that we should just choose one of them and set up a permanent 301 redirect from one to the other. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
