Is my website indexed correctly in Google - www.couponshop.co.uk
-
Our website www.couponshop.co.uk has just had a relaunch after a change of direction.
A lot of the pages were redirected. When I checked the indexing of the website on Google, I put site:couponshop.co.uk and only two pages come up, but when I put site:www.couponshop.co.uk they all show up.
Is this correct or are we doing something wrong? -
Thank you for your help, I'll get the technical team to look at this.

You need to figure out what is going on with u.couponshop.co.uk as there are about 108 pages listed that get mixed up when you search
site:couponshop.co.uk/
If you go to page 9 you then get your https://www.couponshop.com results. What is interesting is out of the 13,000 pages listed the u.couponshop URLs are listed before the www ones. This is an issue.
Those old URLs need to be redirected to the proper URLs on the current site if those URL get traffic or have links to them.
site:u.couponshop.co.uk/
Can be used to find the u.couponshop pages. You will need to look in your server logs to see how often Google is crawling them. You may find that Google is crawling them a fair amount and so you need to get them taken care of. You also want to see if there are any sites linking to these URLs as well to determine if they are of value to you.
Somewhere on your server you are serving up pages with redirects and Google is crawling them and cataloging them and may not be paying as much attention to your new website.

It looks like these urls most be from a while back.
The website has never gone down, we just relaunched it with a new design & direction, which was about 2 months ago.
-
Oh I see what you mean, I opened some of the results and they are just 301 redirects (presumably set up by your company?). Were these previous URLs used before your change of direction?
I do get some of the same results (like for the www search, e.g. a link to https://www.couponshop.co.uk/category/Jewellery on page when looking through the 13,100 results but they just seem to be one every once in a while among u.couponshop.co.uk redirects.
When did you relaunch your website?
-
That's not our website.
-
I just did a screenshot of a section of the results, but it does show more results in the actual SERP, see attached image, that's positions 3-10.
-
Thank you for your response. But it only shows our website twice?
https://www.couponshop.co.uk/stores
https://www.couponshop.co.uk -
When I do a search for site:couponshop.co.uk, I get 13,100 results. Is that roughly what you would expect to see? For site:www.couponshop.co.uk I get 13,000 results.

URLs dropping from index (Crawled, currently not indexed)
I've noticed that some of our URLs have recently dropped completely out of Google's index. When carrying out a URL inspection in GSC, it comes up with 'Crawled, currently not indexed'. Strangely, I've also noticed that under referring page it says 'None detected', which is definitely not the case. I wonder if it could be something to do with the following? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ranking-index-drop-30192.html - It seems to be a bug affecting quite a few people. Here are a few examples of the URLs that have gone missing: https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/sexual-harassment-awareness-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/conflict-resolution-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/prevent-duty-training Any help here would be massively appreciated!

WWW to Non-WWW = Less Indexing?
Hi all, About 10 months ago we changed all of our urls to redirect to a non-www vs. the www because it was creating both iterations and therefore duplicate content. We didn't change anything in Webmaster Tools and it looks like our indexing went down significantly. Is this a problem? How can I fix it? *It looks like GWT also went through an update at that time? klxJ7gl

Duplicate Content Issue WWW and Non WWW
One of my sites got hit with duplicate content a while ago because Google seemed to be considering hhtp, https, www, and non ww versions of the site all different sites. We thought we fixed it, but for some reason https://www and just https:// are giving us duplicate content again. I can't seem to figure out why it keeps doing this. The url is https://bandsonabudget.com if any of you want to see if you can figure out why I am still having this issue.

Keyword rankings for new website good in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google?
Hello, This past September I launched a new redesigned website for a client. His old website was a static html site that was many years old and the new website was created using WordPress. With the new design we made sure to use all the proper techniques for SEO. (h1 tages, image names, quality links, page titles, etc.) Plus, all the content is new content written for this site. I've actually launched new sites many times and after a few months usually start seeing keyword ranking improvements from the major search engines. With this particular website I'm seeing improvements in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google. I've used Google Webmaster Tools and made sure my sitemap is being submitted, etc. It all seems good, but I can't understand why Yahoo and Bing are working but nothing from Google. My page grades are all A's and B's and Moz isn't showing any big issues. Maybe I need to give it more time? This client is a lawyer and has many websites out there so maybe he's being penalized somewhere I don't know? As I mentioned, I've been doing SEO for about 8 years and have never had this much trouble with Google. I was wondering if you can look at the site and see if there are any glaring issues I'm missing. Website: http://www.arizonamedicalmalpractice.info/ The keyword phrases were are looking at are "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Lawyer", "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Attorney:, "Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyer & Attorney", etc. I appreciate anyone who takes the time and does a quick look over. Thanks very much, Bill

Google Indexed URLs for Terms Have Changed Causing Huge SERP Drop
We haven't made any significant changes to our website, however the pages that google has indexed for our critical keywords have changed to pages that have caused our SERP to drop dramatically for those pages. In some cases, the changes make no sense at all. For example, one of our terms that used to be indexed to our homepage is now indexed to a dead category page that has nothing on it. One of our biggest terms, where we were 9th, changed and is now indexed to our FAQ. As a result, we now rank 44th. This is having a MAJOR impact on our business so any help on why this sudden change happened and what we can do to combat it is greatly appreciated.
