On site issues after Magento 2 launch
-
We did a new site launch on Feb 7th this year - www.vesternet.com
It changed from Magento 1 to Magento 2. We had some launch issues around SEO but now we've solved most every crawler issue in Moz reporting - according to Moz we're in better shape on-site than ever.
But our organic search is just dropping daily - we expected a drop after launch then back to normal, but over 2 months on something just isn't right.
A good example, on Google UK for keyword 'home automation' we've always been about position 10, but now we're out the top 50...
Forget about off site for now - what's wrong with our site itself to have caused this?
Can anyone help with insights please as this is killing our sales

Hi,
We're dealing with the same problem after our Magento migration. Did you find out what caused the organic drop?
Looking forward to hear from you

Hi dbsmtec,
It'll be tough for anyone to tell you without auditing your particular website what's likely up here.
If you have seen a gradual drop, there could be a confounding factor afoot - UX issues, for example, are often behind otherwise unexplained organic traffic trends. Page speed is sometimes an issue with Magento - was there any negative impact on performance in the upgrade?
If the drop has been site-wide and gradual, I'd suspect it's something related to UX/user interactions that is causing the drop. If it was sudden, it's more likely (but not necessarily) a technical issue. Looking at traffic across page types can sometimes help narrow your scope.
Again, it's tough to say without looking at your particular site and performance data, and even then, I'm afraid, the answer may prove elusive.
Best of Luck,
Mike -
It may be that the migration has not been done correctly. Magneto took out a pdf with instructions for successful migration. Have you done this or have you used another manual?
I leave the link with the pdf. I hope I've helped.

HTML Site SEO (NO CMS)
I have got a client site, which is dated (2007) and has not been shifted to any recognised CMS yet. It is HTML based. Is it possible to SEO on such a site? Is it even worth it? If it is possible to do SEO on this, any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Stolen Content reposted on other sites. How does this affect ranking?
Visitors often copy and paste my content and post it elsewhere... on Facebook, on Tumblr, on forums and sometimes on competing websites... but they don't link to me. How does Google treat this duplicated content? What is the best way to handle it? File DCMA claims or ask them for a link?

Duplicate Content from on Competitor's site?
I've recently discovered large blocks of content on a competitors site that has been copy and pasted from a client's site. From what I know, this will only hurt the competitor and not my client since my guy was the original. Is this true? Is there any risk to my client? Should we take action? Dino

How long does it take for Google to see Changes to a site?
Hi, I have a low PR site (PR 1) that I am starting to work on. Ingeneral when you make changes to my site how long would it take Google to recognize and index those changes? The reason I am wondering is because the site I am working on had a lot of duplicate content (around 700 pages), I got rid of it all, but I wasn't sure how long it would take Google to spider all these pages and re-index them since the site is low PR. Thanks, Ken
