Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Christy,

How did you do that? I mean... When you click on the results for "mini bus shuttle" it takes you to Essex Digital Media's website?

This does not happen to me and I tested that from diferrent browsers and devices.

When the website was under the redesign process, it was stored in a path like "essexdigitalmedia.co.uk/zzz/xxx/minibussshuttle". Essexdigitalmedia.co.uk is the main domain of the specific hosting server.

This is getting worse. I have to push the hosting company for further investigation.

Thank you

Hi Christy,

The hosting company just deactivated the SSL as requested by me for planet55.co.uk. But look what is happening now:

1. When you search for "mini bus shuttle" (tested on google.co.uk) everything (title, meta description etc) is displayed correctly.

2. If you type "site:minibusshuttle.com" the planet55.co.uk title & meta description come up.

I gave up. I really don't know what else to check. If anybody else has any idea at all, it would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

George

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your reply. I had already contacted my hosting company and waiting for their feedback. I 'll let you know.

Cheers,

Hi there,

I am working on a client (http://minibusshuttle.com/) whose homepage is not indexed correctly by Google. In details, the title & meta description are taken from another website (http://planet55.co.uk/). In addition, homepage is indexed as https instead of http. The rest of the URIs are correctly indexed (titles, meta descriptions, http etc).

planet55.co.uk used to be hosted on the same server as minibusshuttle.com and an SSL certificate was activated for that domain.

I have tried several times to manually "fetch by Google" the homepage, to no avail. The rest of the pages are indexed/refreshed normally and Google responds very fast when I perform any kind of changes there.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

George

Hi Brendan,

That was really close I tried that one but did not work. I spotted the problem in "Custom Post Type Archives" in "Post Types" tab in SEO by Yoast plugin. I unticked that option and everything seems fine now. Thank you so much for your help.

Cheers

You're right about the source code. But everything seems fine in Yoast. The robots file does not block anything as well. I think that there might be some incompatibility issue between the old WP v.2.8.5 and Yoast v.1.7.1.

I will try to update both to the latest releases and see what will happen.

Hi there. Thank you for your reply. I have checked all these before asking the question. Everything is in place as it should be. How did you find out that the homepage is set to "noindex"?

Hi Tafser. Thank you for your prompt response. I know that my homepage is currently not indexed. It was de-indexed a few days ago. This is what I am trying to figure out. Why that happened and how to get it re-indexed. I really can't get it.

Why do I have to increase my social signal & update some content or submit reviews? My homepage was prpoperly indexed and for some reason was de-indexed without any obvious reason. No on or off-page actions has taken place the last few weeks.

Hi,

I am currently working on this project. Sometime between March 7th & 8th homepage was de-indexed. The rest of the pages are there. Found it out through decreased traffic on GA. No notifications of any kind of penalty/errors recieved. Tried to manually re-index through "Fetch as Google" in WMT to no avail. Site is redirected to https.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you!

It makes sense. On the top left corner of the bar email is not a link. So I suppose this is not where the fault is located. BUT, I had forgotten the mailto: prefix in the email link in the footer. I changed it there. Let's hope that was the case

Thank you for the feedback
