Why am I not ranking in Google, but I am in Yahoo and Bing?
-
The website in question is: www.stbarthexclusives.com
Our keywords are currently ranking for both Bing and Yahoo, but we're not appearing anywhere on Google. The website is being crawled successfully, but we still don't have any results. I hoping somebody can point me in the general right direction to fix/correct this problem.
Additionally, there's a decent amount of "rel=canonical tags" on the website. If that helps your evaluation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I am just the opposition. Ranking very good for Google but hardly not at all on Yahoo and Bing.

I have ALWAYS been able to rank on Yahoo and Bing faster than Google. Google takes time (at least for me). While you may be getting indexed, try submitting a sitemap to see if you can get even more pages indexed.

You are definitely getting indexed: site:stbarthexclusives.com
Are you getting ranked high for the same words as Yahoo/Bing? Apparently, Google feels that your site isn't as relevant as other sites for those keywords (I don't see any signs of a penalty). On others (especially long-tails--you are #1 such as: great choice for your escape to St. Barts).
Keep on working on your SEO (get some good inbound links).

Google Pagination Changes
What with Google recently coming out and saying they're basically ignoring paginated pages, I'm considering the link structure of our new, sooner to launch ecommerce site (moving from an old site to a new one with identical URL structure less a few 404s). Currently our new site shows 20 products per page but with this change by Google it means that any products on pages 2, 3 and so on will suffer because google treats it like an entirely separate page as opposed to an extension of the first. The way I see it I have one option: Show every product in each category on page 1. I have Lazy Load installed on our new website so it will only load the screen a user can see and as they scroll down it loads more products, but how will google interpret this? Will Google simply see all 50-300 products per category and give the site a bad page load score because it doesn't know the Lazy Load is in place? Or will it know and account for it? Is there anything I'm missing?

Page rank and menus
Hi, My client has a large website and has a navigation with main categories. However, they also have a hamburger type navigation in the top right. If you click it it opens to a massive menu with every category and page visible. Do you know if having a navigation like this bleeds page rank? So if all deep pages are visible from the hamburger navigation this means that page rank is not being conserved to the main categories. If you click a main category in the main navigation (not the hamburger) you can see the sub pages. I think this is the right structure but the client has installed this huge menu to make it easier for people to see what there is. From a technical SEO is this not bad?

Brand name not ranking in Google
Hi Moz'ers, Could you help me with something I cannot seem to figure out by myself. In June 2017 my company started a rebranding campaign. We've changed our brand name and launched a new website: https://spotler.com. Everything is going fine, but if you Google our brand name "Spotler" our website doesn't show up. How can it be? Our domain authority is 38. It would be wonderful if you could help me. Let me know if you need more information. Best, Simone
