Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I saw this for a client as well, who I know for sure isn't running WordPress at all. Personally, I think it's a Google mistake.

A question regarding International SEO:

We are seeing cases for many sites that meet these criteria:

-International sites that have www.example.com/ ip redirecting to country site based on ip redirect (ex. www.example.com/ 301 to www.example.com/us

-There is a desktop + mobile site (www.example.com + m.example.com)

The issue we see is Google shows www.example.com/ in US search results instead of www.example.com/us in search results.

Since the .com/ redirects, there is no mobile version, and www.example.com/ also shows up in mobile SERPs instead of m.example.com/us.

My questions are:

1. If www.example.com/ is redirecting users and Googlebot, why is Googlebot caching it with the content of www.example.com/us?

2. Why is www.example.com/ showing up in SERPs instead of www.example.com/us?

3. How can we help Google display www.example.com/us and m.example.com/us in SERPs instead of www.example.com/?

Thanks!!

Reviewing our client's URLs for a 301 redirect strategy, we have noticed that many URLs have "/index.shtml." The part we don'd understand is these URLs aren't the homepage and they have multiple folders followed by "/index.shtml" Does anyone happen to know why this may be occurring? Is there any SEO value in keeping the "/index.shtml" in the URL?
