          have a domain that was unused for a while and displayed the "parked by Gandi" domain message. Recently, I decided to set up a fully working website on that domain, but I'm struggling to get it to rank correctly on Google.

          Google isn't updating the http://domain.com to the correct https://www.domain.com, and I have tried everything. The http://domain.com redirects to https://www.domain.com if you click on it.

          I managed to get the correct version, https://www.domain.com, to show up, but after a couple of days, it reverted to the old version and has stayed that way.

          This has been going on for a few weeks now.

          Additionally, I had an old version of the site using .com, and I forwarded that to the .co.uk, but the old .com will not be removed from Google. it was just one page without much content.

          At the moment, Google's search results look very messy and out of date.

          I have submitted the URL in the Google Search Console using the URL inspection tool and requested indexing and reindexing. I have also submitted sitemaps, but nothing is really working.

          Any ideas?

            It sounds like you’re facing issues with how Google is indexing your domain. Here’s a structured approach to resolve this:

            Ensure Correct Redirects: Verify that http://domain.com is properly redirecting to https://www.domain.com using a 301 redirect. This informs search engines that the page has permanently moved.

            Submit Updated Sitemaps: Make sure your sitemap for https://www.domain.com is up-to-date and submitted in Google Search Console. If there have been recent changes to your site, resubmit your sitemap to help Google recognize and index the new content.

            Use the URL Removal Tool: To address outdated URLs, use the URL Removal tool in Google Search Console to request removal of old pages from Google’s index. This can help clean up your search results.

            Check HTTPS Implementation: Confirm that all pages and resources on your site are served over HTTPS. Mixed content or partial HTTPS implementation can sometimes interfere with proper indexing.

            Verify Property Ownership: Ensure that you have verified ownership of both http://domain.com and https://www.domain.com in Google Search Console to have full control over indexing.

            Monitor Coverage Reports: Keep an eye on the Coverage report in Google Search Console to identify and fix any issues with crawling or indexing.

            For enhancing your site’s media and improving visual engagement, tools like video editing apps can be valuable. They help in creating high-quality content that can enhance user experience and potentially improve your SEO outcomes.

              If your website isn’t listed on Google, there are a few things you should check. Start by using Google Search Console to identify any login issues or problems. Review your SEO content, such as meta tags, titles, and descriptions, to make sure they accurately represent your content. Check for penalties or practices that could be affecting your rankings. Make sure your sitemap is submitted correctly and that your site complies with Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. Regularly update and optimize your content to increase your visibility.

                So, we had this problem before, it was simply because of a no-index tab which was switched on for our blog posts or for some of them, once we sorted this problem, we had a lot more calls for our web design and SEO services.

                    @nomanhussainn thanks for your reply.

                    Must I setup the .com as a property in the google search console then ask for the .com to be removed?

                    I have already done steps 1 and 2 a long while ago.

                    The other issue I'm having is the http://domain.com is not being removed or updated to https://www.domain.com google is actually showing the http://domain.com with a cache meta description over the new forwarded version.

                    Currently in the google search console I have the follow properties for the https://www.domain.com.

                    Any ideas?

                      It could have been because of a significant Google algorithm update was rolling out; sometimes, we can't send pages for indexing. We had this problem recently; try manually submitting each page again using Google Search Console.

                        If Google isn't listing your website correctly, check indexing status in Google Search Console, fix any crawl errors, optimize SEO elements like meta tags and keywords, ensure mobile-friendliness, and build high-quality backlinks to enhance site authority.

                          Certainly! Here's a summary of the steps to address the issues with your domain's SEO and indexing:

                          1. Redirects and HTTPS:

                            • Ensure http://domain.com redirects properly to https://www.domain.com.
                            • Use tools to verify redirects are clean and immediate.
                            • Update internal links and use a canonical tag (<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.domain.com" />).
                          2. Google Search Console and Indexing:

                            • Submit your sitemap (sitemap.xml) to Google Search Console.
                            • Use "Fetch as Google" to fetch both HTTP and HTTPS versions and request indexing.
                            • Monitor Index Coverage in Google Search Console for issues.
                          3. Old Domain Handling:

                            • Ensure .com domain redirects with a 301 to .co.uk.
                            • Use Google Search Console to request removal of outdated .com URLs.
                            • Consider adding noindex tags to old content if it's not relevant anymore.
                          4. Additional Considerations:

                            • Be patient with Google's indexing process; it can take time.
                            • Maintain consistency in SEO practices across your site.
                            • Regularly monitor Google Search Console for updates and issues.

                          Implementing these steps should help resolve the issues with your domain's SEO and ensure Google displays the correct and updated version of your site in search results.

                              Migrating Subfolder content to New domain Safely

                              migration seo ranking

                              Hello everyone, I'm currently facing a challenging situation and would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance. I own a website, maniflexa.com, primarily focused on the digital agency niche. About 3 months ago, I created a subfolder, maniflexa.com/emploi/, dedicated to job listings which is a completely different niche. The subfolder has around 120 posts and pages. Unfortunately, since I created the subfolder, the rankings of my main site have been negatively impacted. I was previously ranking #1 for all local digital services keywords, but now, only 2 out of 16 keywords have maintained their positions. Other pages have dropped to positions 30 and beyond. I'm considering a solution and would like your advice: I'm planning to purchase a new domain and migrate the content from maniflexa.com/emploi/ to newdomain.com. However, I want to ensure a smooth migration without affecting the main domain maniflexa.com rankings and losing backlinks from maniflexa.com/emploi/ pages. Is moving the subfolder content to a new domain a viable solution? And how can I effectively redirect all pages from the subfolder to the new domain while preserving page ranks and backlinks?
                              I wish they did, but GSC doesn't offer a solution to migration content from subfolder to a new domain. 😢 Help a fellow Mozer. Thanks for giving a hand.

                              ranking homepage sub-pages not ranking

                              Hey Community! I am facing an ranking issue, I am trying to rank on multiple quires with my sub-pages. The issue is homepage is ranking on every single query. Even the homepage's content is not relevant to that query! I have made sure to remove any sort of content relevancy from homepage which i trying to rank with my sub-pages. Business/Website Details: We are a recruitment agency based Pakistan providing manpower around the globe and other recruiting services. We are targeting each country with a sub-page. Even after I have done some necessary things but still there is not effect on rankings. Let me share some examples: Query: recruitment agency for gulf in pakistan Home Page Showing
                              1.jpg Page i want to ranking:
                              2.jpg This issue is not only with this page, it's appearing on multiple quires but I think it should clear the issue I am facing. Now: Any Possible Solutions to this technical or ranking error. Backlinks on this query don't matter because you can check the other search results don't have any backlink data on them. Please share some quick thoughts on-page content. Even I make a page that have the word recruiting/recruitment in it google will automatically rank homepage and not the page i want! Thanks in advance for help 🙂

                              Is it Ok to have multiple domains (separate website different content) rank for similar keywords?

                              multiple domains duplicate content

                              Is it 'OK' to have multiple domains in the following instance? Does Google actively discourage multiple (but completely different sites) domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same and or similar keywords if the content is slightly different? This is where the 'main site' has the details, and you can purchase product, and the second site is a blog site only. We are creating a separate content blogsite; which would be on a second domain that will be related to one portion of content on main site. They would be linking back and forth, or maybe the blog site would just link over to the main site so they can purchase said product. This would be a similar scenario to give you an idea of how it would be structured: MAIN SITE: describes a few products, and you can purchase from this site SECOND SITE, different domain: a blog site that contains personal experiences with one of the products. BOTH sites will be linked back and forth....or as mentioned maybe the blog site could just link over to the 'main site' Logo would be a modified version of the main logo and look and feel of the sight would be similar but not exactly the same. MORE INFO: the main site has existed for way over 10 years, starting to gain some traction in an extremely competitive market, but does not rank super high, is gaining traction due to improvements in speed, content, onpage SEO, etc... So in addition to my main question of is this 'ok' to have this second domain, also will it hurt the rankings or negatively affect the 'main' site? Wondering about duplicate content issues, except it will be slightly different...

                              Does Google consider breadcrumbs to be duplicate titles?

                              duplicate titles multiple titles breadcrumbs google moz

                              Moz has been flagging a lot of our articles for duplicate titles. I noticed that the website was automatically generating the same words that were used for the titles above the articles and main images. But those are bread crumbs. Does anyone know if Google also considers those duplicate titles? I'm not sure if the screenshot I'm uploading will appear, but this is one of the blog posts the extra wording was showing up on: https://hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com/blog/when-why-replace-spark-plugs/

                              Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords

                              serp keyword rankings

                              Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?

                              How can I make a list of all URLs indexed by Google?

                              redirect indexed urls google url index google broken links

                              I have a large site with over 6000 pages indexed but only 600 actual pages and need to clean up with 301 redirects. Haven't had this need since Google stopped displaying the url's in the results.
