          Hello everyone,

          For one of our websites, we have optimized for many keywords. However, it seems that every keyword is indexed on the home page, and thus not ranked properly. This occurs only on one of our many websites. I am wondering if anyone knows the cause of this issue, and how to solve it.

          Thank you.

            No, I wouldn't say that would cause such issues.

            Your pages should get indexed eventually, as they are in your sitemaps (at least the ones I checked), so I am not surprised you're not seeing issues in reports.

            But, tools like Moz will often struggle to give more strategic advice (not that we aren't working on it!), and in this case, if these pages are a priority, you need to prominently link to them within your site - this is the most reliably way to ensure rapid indexing.

              @tom-capper Hey Tom, thanks a lot for all your support so far.

              What I have noticed in other campaigns too, is that our websites have CLS (cumulative layout shift) problems. This is the only issue that I found in the account for Brekken. Do you know by any chance if this is something that causes pages to not get indexed correctly?

              Thanks!

                @ginovdw said in Keywords are indexed on the home page:

                brekken.nl/motorbootcharter-lemmer

                It seems like some of those simply aren't indexed.

                e2a46c97-382a-428c-817e-f4598694b26a-image.png

                As above, I recommend you investigate in Google Search Console for a clearer idea of why it isn't indexed, but I notice with /motorbootcharter-lemmer it is listed in your sitemaps, so probably Google will index it eventually.

                If you want Google to better understand the value of these pages, consider including them in your main navigation, or linking from the homepage.

                  @ginovdw Have you been able to confirm that those other pages are crawled, indexed, and correctly rendered by Google?

                  For example, what happens if you inspect them in Google Search Console?

                    So, an example of one of our websites is below:

                    We optimized the following keywords on the following pages:

                    Motorbootcharter Lemmer: https://brekken.nl/motorbootcharter-lemmer

                    Jachtverhuur Lemmer:
                    https://brekken.nl/jachtverhuur-lemmer

                    Bootverhuur IJsselmeer:
                    https://brekken.nl/bootverhuur-ijsselmeer

                    Boot verhuur in Friesland
                    https://brekken.nl/boot-verhuur-in-friesland

                    Boot huren IJsselmeer
                    https://brekken.nl/boot-huren-ijsselmeer

                    Yet, they all rank on the home page of our website. Some of these words are not even mentioned on our home page, or just once. I just don't see why they don't rank on their respective keyword which we optimized for, since this works for many of our other websites.

                        @tom-capper Thanks for your response! It's exactly what you mentioned. We have many pages optimized for those terms, but they all rank on our homepage.

                          @ginovdw Heya

                          Could you explain a little more what you're running in to?

                          For example, when you say that keywords are indexed on the homepage, do you mean that your homepage is ranking for all terms, even though you have optimized other pages for those terms?

                            How Can I influence the Google Selected Canonical

                            canonical ranking issue subdomain indexation

                            Our company recently rebranded and launched a new website. The website was developed by an overseas team and they created the test site on their subdomain. The only problem is that Google crawled and indexed their site and ours. I noticed Google indexed their sub domain ahead of our domain and based on Search Console it has deemed our content as the duplicate of theirs and the Google selected theirs as the canonical.
                            The website in question is https://www.spaziointerni.us
                            What would be the best course of action to get our content ranked and selected instead of being marked as the duplicate?
                            Not sure if I have to modify the content to make it more unique or have them submit a removal in their search console.
                            Our indexed pages continue to go down due to this issue.
                            Any help is greatly appreciated.

                            Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

                            Splitting Page Authority with two URLs for the same page.

                            Hello guys, My website is currently holding two different URLs for the same page and I am under the impression such set up is dividing my Page Authority and Link Juice. We currently have the following page with both URLs below: www.wbresearch.com/soldiertechnologyusa/home.aspx
                            www.wbresearch.com/soldiertechnologyusa/ Analysing the page authority and backlinks I identified that we are splitting the amount of backlinks (links from sites, social media and therefore authority). "/home.aspx"
                            PA: 67
                            Linking Root Domains: 52
                            Total Links: 272 "/"
                            PA: 64
                            Linking Root Domains: 29
                            Total Links: 128 I am under the impression that if the URLs were the same we would maximise our backlinks and therefore page authority. My Question: How can I fix this? Should I have a 301 redirect from the page "/" to the "/home.aspx" therefore passing the authority and link juice of “/” directly to “/homes.aspx”? Trying to gather thoughts and ideas on this, suggestions are much appreciated? Thanks!
