It seems Google is having issues crawling and indexing some of your site content. This could be due to technical SEO issues like site architecture, use of no index tags, or thin content. I would recommend doing an SEO audit to uncover and fix problems. An affordable digital marketing company can analyze your site's indexing issues, structure, metadata, etc., and provide specific recommendations to improve crawlability and search visibility. With some targeted technical SEO optimizations, you can likely get your informative articles to start ranking.

@NextHeadphone Sure thing! If you're puzzled about why Google isn't picking up your articles, there could be a few culprits. Check if your website's robots.txt file is allowing Googlebot to crawl the content you want them to see, ensure your articles don't have a "noindex" meta tag in the HTML, and provide Google with a map of your site through an XML sitemap. Also, make sure your content is substantial and unique to avoid the duplicate content penalty. Speed up your site for a smoother crawl, fix any crawl errors, and ensure your website is mobile-friendly and secure with an SSL certificate. Encourage backlinks and social sharing to boost your site's visibility. If you've addressed these factors and your articles are still flying under Google's radar, be patient, as changes may take time. For persistent issues, consider consulting SEO professionals or seeking advice from Google support.

If you're experiencing issues with Google not indexing your website or specific pages, there are several potential reasons and solutions to consider. Here are some common issues and steps to address them:
-
Robots.txt File: Check your website's
robots.txtfile to ensure it is not blocking search engine crawlers from accessing certain parts of your site. Make sure the pages you want indexed are not disallowed. -
Noindex Meta Tag: Ensure that the
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">tag is present in the HTML<head>section of your pages. This tag tells search engines to index the content. -
Canonical Tags: Verify that canonical tags are used correctly to specify the preferred version of a page if you have duplicate content.
-
Sitemap: Submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console. This helps Google discover and index your pages more efficiently.
-
Crawl Errors: Check Google Search Console for crawl errors. Resolve any issues reported, such as broken links or server errors.
-
Page Quality: Google tends to prioritize high-quality content. Ensure your content is relevant, original, and provides value to users.
-
Website Speed: Page loading speed can impact indexing. Optimize your website's performance for faster loading times.
-
Mobile Friendliness: Google gives preference to mobile-friendly websites. Ensure your site is responsive and functions well on mobile devices.
-
Fetch as Google: Use the "Fetch as Google" feature in Google Search Console to request indexing for specific pages.
-
Manual Actions: Check Google Search Console for any manual actions against your site. Address and resolve any issues specified in the manual actions report.
Remember that Google's indexing process may take some time. If you've addressed the above issues and still experience problems, it's advisable to monitor Google Search Console for any additional messages or errors related to indexing. If the problem persists, seeking advice from webmaster forums or consulting with SEO professionals may be beneficial.

Is there anyone who can take a look and find the issues why google is not indexing my articles? I will be waiting for your replyIt appears that your informative articles on 'www.nextheadphone.com', such as those about noise-canceling headphones, aren't being indexed by Google, and you're seeking insights into why this might be happening. To address this:
Check Google Search Console: Ensure your site is registered and verified with Google Search Console. Look for any crawl errors or manual actions.
Content Quality and Originality: Evaluate if your content is unique, high-quality, and provides value to readers. Duplicate or low-quality content is often not indexed.
SEO Optimization: Review your SEO practices, including keywords, meta tags, and descriptions, to ensure they align with best practices.
Sitemap and Robots.txt: Ensure your sitemap is submitted to Google and your robots.txt file isn’t blocking these pages.
If you're still unsure, consider reaching out to an SEO professional or a digital marketing forum for a more in-depth analysis.

Sure, I'll be happy to help. I took a quick look at your articles, and it seems like your website is relatively new. Google might take some time to index new sites and their content, especially informative articles.
To improve your chances of getting indexed, make sure your site is properly configured for search engines. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, and focus on creating high-quality, original content. It's also essential to build some backlinks to your site from reputable sources.

Solved Page content writing tool
A long time ago I'm pretty sure I used a tool that helped me write content for a webpage. It checked my writing as I typed and gave suggestions. I can't find the tool anymore. I hope I didn't imagine it as it was really useful..

What Should We Do to Fix Crawled but Not Indexed Pages for Multi-location Service Pages?
Hey guys! I work as a content creator for Zavza Seal, a contractor out of New York, and we're targeting 36+ cities in the Brooklyn and Queens areas with several services for home improvement. We got about 340 pages into our multi-location strategy targeting our target cities with each service we offer, when we noticed that 200+ of our pages were "Crawled but not indexed" in Google Search Console. Here's what I think we may have done wrong. Let me know what you think... We used the same page template for all pages. (we changed the content and sections, formatting, targeted keywords, and entire page strategy for areas with unique problems trying to keep the user experience as unique as possible to avoid duplicate content or looking like we didn't care about our visitors.) We used the same featured image for all pages. (I know this is bad and wouldn't have done it myself, but hey, I'm not the publisher.) We didn't use rel canonicals to tell search engines that these pages were special made for the areas. We didn't use alt tags until about halfway through. A lot of the urls don't use the target keyword exactly. The NAP info and Google Maps embed is in the footer, so we didn't use it on the pages. We didn't use any content about the history or the city or anything like that. (some pages we did use content about historic buildings, low water table, flood prone areas, etc if they were known for that) We were thinking of redoing the pages, starting from scratch and building unique experiences around each city, with testimonials, case studies, and content about problems that are common for property owners in the area, but I think they may be able to be fixed with a rel canonical, the city specific content added, and unique featured images on each page. What do you think is causing the problem? What would be the easiest way to fix it? I knew the pages had to be unique for each page, so I switched up the page strategy every 5-10 pages out of fear that duplicate content would start happening, because you can only say so much about for example, "basement crack repair". Please let me know your thoughts. Here is one of the pages that are indexed as an example: https://zavzaseal.com/cp-v1/premier-spray-foam-insulation-contractors-in-jamaica-ny/ Here is one like it that is crawled but not indexed: https://zavzaseal.com/cp-v1/premier-spray-foam-insulation-contractors-in-jamaica-ny/ I appreciate your time and concern. Have a great weekend!

Write new articles or republish old ones?
Hi,
Content Development | | Enrico_Cassinelli
we run a tourism information website about a region in italy, and each year, during special occasions such as christmas, easter and so on we publish an article with a "what to do on Christmas / Easter / .... in the Langhe" (collecting events, activities, etc.). Is it better to "reuse" the old articles and change only the year in the title and of course the content (providing that we are gonna keep the URL without year), or to publish a new one? thanks!0 -
To hyphenate or not to hyphenate?
Quick question: does Google differentiate between terms that correctly include a hyphen (such as "royalty-free") and those that are incorrect ("royalty free")? I ask because the correct term "royalty-free"(with a hyphen) receives far less monthly traffic for the same term without the hyphen (according to Moz): Term | Estimated traffic
On-Page Optimization | | JCN-SBWD
"royalty free music" | 11.5-30.3K
"royalty-free music" | 501-850 If Moz views the terms separately then I'd guess that Google does too, in which case the best thing to do for SEO (and increased site traffic) would be to wrongly use "royalty free" without the hyphen. Is that correct?0 -
Blog Content if Google has stated it doesn't like your blog?
Hi guys, In the new 'mobile usability' tab in Webmaster Tools, Google has stated that our blog isn't offering a good experience for users. Something we already knew and I want to change, but I can't get the budget approved to complete the work. I was just wondering if you think Google isn't going to hold my content very high as a result. I want to produce more content on our blog around our valuable keywords in hope to improve our rankings, but if Google isn't holding our site in high regard I'm thinking there may not be much point in it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

I work on a uk decorating website with five of our own bloggers all of which reside on the home page of the website on their own separete blogging urls as sub domains - is this a good idea or would google not like this from an seo point of view?
Should blogs that are part of an overall content site be on separate sites and link in or is it ok to promote them as content on the home page of the site and take users off to their own url to view the site. Is this good practise for seo?

Index.html vs. default.html
Hi, I have a website that is about 7 years old. I had been using index.html as the home page. When I redesigned my site about 3 months ago I changed it to default.html. The old index.html page was still on my server. I just realized my mistake. All of my links to the home page lead to the new default.html. However, people are still landing on the old index.html. I have change the old index.html to the new design but that means i have 2 "home" pages out there. Should i delete one? Should I leave them both there but use the canonical tag for one so it is not considered duplicate content? What is best for my rankings?
