Welcome to the Q&A Forum

what is interesting is that i can see that all the individual pages are good in terms of displaying in the browser correctly except the "home" page.

Ok looks like I have work to do so will focus on these things now...

I was trying to create a rather flat layout with the pages as there are only a few; however; I do have a "services" page and will put the internal links between home page and services and then incorporate that page into the process.

I believe that it could be a wise investment for me at this stage to step back and get Yoast further involved and do a "Gold Review" on the site... this should fill in the gaps and raise my SEO knowledge.

Really appreciate the feedback...

Hi Logan;

Thanks for reply...

the site is -- https://albertaautosales.com

1. Yes the HTTPS has been setup correctly and is active with no issues on all pages.

2. Yes I realize now that i could have left the http profile.  It actually had a complete status and was ranking my key word phrases (also setup a campaign in Moz).   I did activate it again however now shows blank pages even though the status is complete.

3. not sure if I get your question 3.  Prior to removing and setting up the https profile the site was fine and the google ranking process was occuring...

I have created a help ticket for Google under the Search Console but no idea how prompt they are on responding.  Site is simply down just showing some images.  From what i can see Google blocked it by applying a very restrictive robots.txt file... but not sure as I am new to this.

Appreciate

Am new to SEO.

My clients site was completed using Yoast premium and then used Google search console to initiate the crawl.

Initially setup an http:// property and all seemed good.  Then i removed that under search console an created an https:// did the render and it appears google has put a block and placed their own robots.txt file which basically has rendered the site useless.

Feedback most appreciated.
