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.

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.

Google Not Picking Up Posts
I am trying to work out why from March 4th Google is not seeing my posts. Our google impressions have dropped from 8,000 to 40. If you put in the full article name with speach marks it does not find it, and instead shows the home page in google. We have not had any warnings. We did have work done on our site but nothing else i could think of to cause this. Can anyone let me know what may have caused this. All articles are original

Plagiarized Site Effecting Google Rankings
Can someone provides insights on a de-indexing example? I have gone through the depths of Google lack of support and requesting duplicate content flags, so no avail. Here's the scenario: Client had a competing SEO provider try to earn his business. In doing so, he copied word for word our blog that we have been producing content on over the last 5 years. He also integrated Google reviews in the structured data on this new URL. Well, fast forward 1-2 months later, our rankings started to drop. We found this 100% plagiarized site is taking away from our keyword rankings on GMB, and is no and Google search, and our site GMB is now only displaying on a branded name search as well as our search traffic has dropped. I have identified the plagiarized, duplicated content, being tied to our GMB as well, as the source of the problem. Well, I finally obtain ed control of the plagarized domain and shut down the hosted, and forwarded the URL to our URL. Well, Google still has the HTTS version of the site indexed. And it is in my professional opinion, that since the site is still indexed and is associated with the physician GMB that was ranking for our target keyword and no longer does, that this is the barrier to ranking again. Since its the HTTPS version, it is not forwarded to our domain. Its a 504 error but is still ranking in the google index. The hosting and SSL was canceled circa December 10th. I have been waiting for Google to de-index this site, therefore allowing our primary site to climb the rankings and GMB rankings once again. But it has been 6 weeks and Google is still indexing this spam site. I am incredibly frustrated with google support (as a google partner) and disappointed that this spam site is still indexed. Again, my conclusion that when this SPAM site is de-indexed, we will return back to #1. But when? and at this point, ever? Highlighted below is the spam site. Any suggestions? Capture.PNG

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,
