Google doesn't show my Twitter account
-
Hello,
my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account.
It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top.
The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense?
What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal?
Thank you!

Google not showing your Twitter account in search results could be due to several reasons:
-
Privacy Settings: Check your Twitter account's privacy settings. If your account is set to private, Google won't index your tweets, and they won't appear in search results.

Indexing Delay: Google may not have indexed your Twitter account yet. It can take some time for search engines to crawl and index new or updated content.
-
Low Activity: If your Twitter account has low activity or engagement, it may not rank well in search results.
-
SEO Optimization: Twitter profiles with complete bios, relevant keywords, and regular posting tend to perform better in search results. Ensure your profile is well-optimized for SEO.

Twitter Handle Changes: If you recently changed your Twitter handle, it may take some time for search engines to update their indexes with the new information.
-
Twitter Visibility: Ensure that your Twitter account is set to be visible to search engines in your Twitter account settings.
-
Competing Content: If there are many other Twitter accounts with similar names or content, it could affect your account's visibility in search results.
-
Geographic Restrictions: Sometimes, Twitter content may not be visible in certain regions due to content restrictions or privacy settings.

To improve the visibility of your Twitter account on Google, focus on optimizing your profile, being active on the platform, and ensuring your account settings allow search engine indexing.

With respect to your Question - "The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense?"
It not the case, check the screenshot below. As you have written your full name with a space Google will recognise it.
To improve your chances of getting your Twitter account ranked higher in Google search results for your name, you can try the following simple strategy:
-
Optimize your Twitter profile. Make sure your profile is complete and includes all relevant information, such as your full name, bio, website, and location. You should also use relevant keywords in your profile, including your name and any other keywords that you want to rank for.
-
Tweet regularly. The more you tweet, the more likely your Twitter account is to be crawled and indexed by Google. Make sure to tweet about relevant topics and use relevant hashtags.
-
Get engagement on your tweets. The more engagement your tweets get (likes, retweets, and comments), the more likely they are to rank higher in Google search results. Try to engage with other users on Twitter and encourage them to interact with your content.
-
Link to your Twitter account from other websites. The more backlinks your Twitter account has, the higher it is likely to rank in Google search results. Try to get links to your Twitter account from your website, other social media profiles, and other relevant websites.

@TimoRossa
Hi, Dear Timo,
you have near zero engagement on your Twitter account, if you check
site:https://twitter.com/timorossa
you see Google indexed your Twitter URL but in ranking it got a low score.
try to make engagement on your Twitter and also people should search more about your name google decided to find a better link version to show in SERP, so you can use your Twitter profile link in other social media: Instagram. facebook,.... to promote it. it will take sometime but these actions will do your job -
@TimoRossa its not a case of the name. How many followers do you have? Have you linked your Twitter to other credible sites? Linking to credible sites helps like Moz, Muckrack and LinkedIn will help this issue. Also, how active are you on Twitter? This affects it as well.

@TimoRossa Hello Timo,
To improve your Twitter account's visibility on Google, consider these steps:
Update Twitter Name: Modify your Twitter account's name to include spaces between your first and last name. This can help Google recognize it as a more accurate match for your full name.
(PMP Exam Prep)
Optimize Your Twitter Profile: Fill out your Twitter bio with relevant keywords and information about yourself. Use your full name, location, and any other details you want to be associated with your online presence.
Business Analyst course
Engage Actively: Tweet regularly, engage with others, and use relevant hashtags. Google often ranks active and engaging profiles higher in search results.Link to Your Twitter: Include a link to your Twitter profile on your personal website or blog if you have one. This can improve the credibility and ranking of your Twitter account in search results.
Public Profile Settings: Ensure your Twitter account is set to "Public" so that search engines can index your tweets and profile.
Be Patient: It may take some time for Google to update its search results. Continue with these strategies, and over time, you should see improvements in your Twitter account's visibility in search results.

How Can I influence the Google Selected Canonical
Our company recently rebranded and launched a new website. The website was developed by an overseas team and they created the test site on their subdomain. The only problem is that Google crawled and indexed their site and ours. I noticed Google indexed their sub domain ahead of our domain and based on Search Console it has deemed our content as the duplicate of theirs and the Google selected theirs as the canonical.
Community | | Spaziohouston
The website in question is https://www.spaziointerni.us
What would be the best course of action to get our content ranked and selected instead of being marked as the duplicate?
Not sure if I have to modify the content to make it more unique or have them submit a removal in their search console.
Our indexed pages continue to go down due to this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.1 -

Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords

Google Search Console - Excluded Pages and Multiple Properties
I have used Moz to identify keywords that are ideal for my website and then I optimized different pages for those keywords, but unfortunately rankings for some of the pages have declined. Since I am working with an ecommerce site, I read that having a lot of Excluded pages on the Google Search Console was to be expected so I initially ignored them. However, some of the pages I was trying to optimize are listed there, especially under the 'Crawled - currently not indexed' and the 'Discovered - currently not indexed' sections. I have read this page (link: https://moz.com/blog/crawled-currently-not-indexed-coverage-status ) and plan on focusing on Steps 5 & 7, but wanted to ask if anyone else has had experience with these issues. Also, does anyone know if having multiple properties (https vs http, www vs no www) can negatively affect a site? For example, could a sitemap from one property overwrite another? Would removing one property from the Console have any negative impact on the site? I plan on asking these questions on a Google forum, but I wanted to add it to this post in case anyone here had any insights. Thank you very much for your time,
