Website Essentially Delisted and Top SERPS Removed
-
So what a morning.... Did a search for our website and looked to see how we were doing with a couple of search terms and it turns out our website is GONE. I mean not a slap down or fluctuations in positioning but we are literal gone.
I see that the contact page is pulls up on page 8 but effectively we dont exist. This is so odd and strange that i feel that this is a dream. The fact that we dont pull up on any search terms anymore is of a concern that this is something more than a penalty. What on Earth could have caused this? This is fluke? Can i call Google?
Seems that index page has been removed from the search results
Website www.catdi.com
Catdi Printing
Search Terms
Houston Printing
Houston Direct Mail
EDDM Printing EDDM

Hi Nick, do you think they are targeting particular groups? I wouldn't put past Google...

I saw this on Twitter, I'm not sure how I feel about how John downplayed it with a joke though

Great, thanks for also confirming.

The issue is now being reported as fixed, with a response from Google’s John Mueller saying it was a technical issue their end. https://searchengineland.com/google-de-indexing-issue-now-fixed-result-of-technical-issues-315058

Myself and a friend (who is a competitor) both had the same problem. Doing a URL Inspection in Google Search Console - specifically the Test Live URL thing - fixed it immediately.

Alex is right this was likely a temporary thing.
It's probably still worth checking your Google Search Console though in the very unlikely case there's any warning messages or manual actions.
I've just performed a site search for you and can see 330 results for "canonical" domain and 545 for all subdomains.
You also appeared for a brand search, so hopefully you are good now.
If it still isn't, please try and crawl + submit for indexing within GSC. This has reportedly returned ranks for quite a lot of SEOs.
Good luck,
Nick

You're the third person (that I've seen) reporting the issue here on the Moz Q&A.
SEO Round Table have an article about it: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-dropping-pages-out-of-the-search-index-27369.html
Bottom line, you're not alone, and there is no response from Google yet on what is going on!

Migrated website but Google Analytics still displays old URL's and none new?!
I migrated a website from a .aspx to a .php and hence had to 301 all the old urls to the new php ones. It's been months after and I'm not seeing any of the php pages showing results but I'm still getting results from the old .aspx pages. Has any one had any experience with this issue or knows what to do? Many thanks,

Exact match domains DOMINTATING the serps
For longer tail keywords with typical local monthly search volume of 50 or so, there are exact match domains that are just killing it. Take for instance "alabama registered agent", I'm showing www.alabamaregisteredagent.com in the first spot ahead of the state department, etc. This site has zero links in OSE (DA and PA 1) and is a very small site in general. Can anyone explain why this domain is doing so well?
