Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I just posted the responses to Miriam's questions so hopefully that moves us in the right direction.

Cheers, Cam

Hi Miriam! I have your responses to this from my customer. TIA for your help with this!

1. Yes, each of these entities is it own legally registered entity. One has nothing to do with the other.

2. RE: Meeting at the office with customers/recruits: It all depends on where the family resides. If the family lives in or near the New York metropolitan area, we would most likely meet in the office. But for most of the families, we work with; communication is done via Skype, Phone, or email.

3. The recruiting service and the non-profit soccer camp's office work take place in the office building. But the actual  soccer sessions take place at several parks and other locations across Nassau County, Long Island.

4. Yes, the soccer clinic is a year-round service. All our clinics are 6-weeks long, and we host one in the Fall and Summer seasons and two in the Spring and Winter seasons.

5. Since the recruiting business and the soccer clinic business work in the same office space, at the same address, Google only recognizes the first as a Google Business and won't list the latter as well.

Thanks Miriam for the thoughtful questions and response above. I believe I know the answers, but let me verify with my client and repost. I don't want to surmise anything here that isn't entirely accurate! Thanks again - I'll write back as soon as I can!

This is not my area of expertise, but I have a customer with a unique problem. They are primarily an agency that assists student-athletes nationwide with the college recruiting process. They also have a non-profit organization that runs soccer camps for local kids only.  The soccer camp would of course benefit from having it's own GMB page, but they've been told by Google that they can't use the same address as their recruiting business. They are in the same office and moving/adding an office isn't an option at this time.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to overcome this issue without risking penalty from Google? Should they change their business name to combine both and add categories for their non-profit? They're such disparate businesses that I'm reluctant to have them do this, but is that the best/only option?

Thanks all!

Thanks again! I noticed all of this too before I submitted to Q&A but doing a little bit of research (and with my admittedly limited knowledge of the topic) I thought that this was pretty standard for how clean Drupal URLs are setup? Is that incorrect?

Yes! Better safe than sorry!

You are too kind! I thought we checked into all that stuff too. I'm glad to at least know that we're probably just up against a waiting game and there isn't something fundamentally wrong with the page that's preventing the index. I'll start manually adding main nav links from addurl and cross my fingers.

Thank you again!

So here's an example of a page from the main nav on their site that is a problem page:

site:https://www.northshoreymca.org/programs/creative-arts

I guess we're just stuck in a waiting game for pages like this?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the input Oleg. I did verify that in GSC that they are pointing to https://www. so I'm not sure what gives in terms of the discrepancy between the index of 3 pages showing in GSC vs. the several hundred pages showing when you hit site:https://www.northshoreymca.org.

Very new to MOZ and SEO so I really appreciate your time and input!

Thanks Gaston! In your experience, are there some generalities you can speak to for the length of time it takes to index a site? I understand that the response to that question is probably relative given a site's size, age, update frequency etc. but would you care to ballpark it?

I'm really new to SEO (and entirely self-taught) so appreciate all the info! Thanks again!
