          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          At the moment, Google's search results look very messy and out of date.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            Use the URL Removal Tool: To address outdated URLs, use the URL Removal tool in Google Search Console to request removal of old pages from Google’s index.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.

                            I'm looking for some expert advice on improving the on-page SEO for my website, CCTV Camera Installation. Despite following best practices, I feel that my site isn't performing as well as it could be in search engine rankings. Here are a few specific areas where I'd appreciate some guidance:

                            Content Optimization: I've ensured my content is keyword-rich and valuable to my audience. Are there any advanced techniques or tools that can help further optimize my content?

                            Meta Tags and Descriptions: I've written unique meta titles and descriptions for each page, but I'm unsure if they're as effective as they could be. What are some tips for crafting compelling meta tags that improve click-through rates?

                            Internal Linking: I've set up a basic internal linking structure. How can I enhance this to better distribute link equity and improve user navigation?

                            Page Load Speed: While my site's load speed is decent, I'm aware that even minor improvements can have a significant impact on SEO. Are there any specific optimizations or tools you recommend for speeding up my website?

                            Technical SEO: I've covered the basics like XML sitemaps and robots.txt files. Are there any advanced technical SEO practices that I should be aware of?

                            Here is the link to my website for your reference: https://www.acssllc.ae/

                            Thank you in advance for your help!

                            Best regards,

                              Hi guys, An email software vendor managed by a different area of my company redirected 100 domains used for unsolicited email campaigns to my main domain. These domains are very likely to get blacklisted at some point. My SEO tool now is showing me all those domains as "linking" to my main site as do-follow links. The vendor states that this will not affect my main domain/website in any way. I'm highly concerned. I would appreciate your professional opinion about this. Thanks!!

                              Hi guys, I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains. Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines. Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list. Any tips on how to clean this up?

                              Google keeps marking different pages as duplicates

                              seo

                              My website has many pages like this: mywebsite/company1/valuation mywebsite/company2/valuation mywebsite/company3/valuation mywebsite/company4/valuation ... These pages describe the valuation of each company. These pages were never identical but initially, I included a few generic paragraphs like what is valuation, what is a valuation model, etc... in all the pages so some parts of these pages' content were identical. Google marked many of these pages as duplicated (in Google Search Console) so I modified the content of these pages: I removed those generic paragraphs and added other information that is unique to each company. As a result, these pages are extremely different from each other now and have little similarities. Although it has been more than 1 month since I made the modification, Google still marks the majority of these pages as duplicates, even though Google has already crawled their new modified version. I wonder whether there is anything else I can do in this situation? Thanks

                              Re; escortdirectory-uk.com, escortdirectory-usa.com, escortdirectory-oz.com.au,
                              Hi, We are an escort directory with 10 years history. We have multiple locations within the following countries, UK, USA, AUS. Although many of our locations (towns and cities) index on page one of Google, just as many do not. Can anyone give us a clue as to why this may be?

                              Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?

                              shopify ecommerce seo

                              Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!
