Multiple Pages get rank for one query
-
Hi to all experts,
In google search console , I've found that multiple pages get rank for my main query.
How can I solve that?
-
Is there any other suggestions?
I have serious problem about it.
-
that's a good idea (noindexing).
Actually i can't see any of my pages (except homepage) on the search resutls, I've just see them in search console,which i thought is a bad thing.

If your "contact us" page is ranking then either you have a really powerful domain or the competition in these SERPs is not high. You could prepare a second relevant page and launch it to see if it replaces the "contact us" page. Or you could noindex the "contact us" page to prevent it from displaying, or make the "contact us" page relevant and link it to your sales page.

Thanks for your Answer. I agree with you. but the mail problem is that,these pages are completely unrelevant to my query,in some of them even i can't find that query. I mean Contact us for example.
And i think this situation make it hard for google to find the main page.
and i just see the main url in SERP.

I've found that multiple pages get rank for my main query.
I would do a manual search and see if you do have two pages ranking for your main query. If this is true, and you have two pages ranking for your main querry, then I would be very happy about that. I would not consider it to be a problem, in fact, if this continues for a couple of weeks, we might take and afternoon off an go out for beers.
If I can get two pages ranking for important queries, it pushes competitors down in the SERPs, it brings more traffic to my website. I would not worry if one is a sales page and one is an article page. I will place obvious ads and links on the article page that move traffic to the sales page. Two pages of my site in the SERPs always gets rid of a competitor. Nice work. Yahooo!
We intentionally try to get multiple pages ranking in the same SERP by adding articles to compete with important sales pages. Although some people think that keyword Keyword cannibalism is a bad thing we celebrate it here. We try, and often succeed, at getting two, three, or four pages into the same SERPs and push our competitor down to position #5. Whack! Take that!
I know people, many of them, who don't like to see two pages from their website on the same SERP. They think that it is a 'waste of energy' or something. I have no hesitation to reach for the throat of my competitor with both hands.

Strange - Search Console page indexing "../Detected" as 404
Anyone seen this lately? All of a sudden Google Search Console is insisting in Page indexing that there is a 404 for a page that has never existed on our client's site: https://........com.au/Detected We've noticed this across a number of sites, precisely in this way with a capitalised "/Detected" To me it looks like something spammy is being submitted to the SERPs (somehow) and Google is trying to index that and then getting a 404. Naturally MOZ isn't picking it up, cause the page simply never existed - it's just happening in Search Console 2afc7e35-71e4-4e25-80a3-690bf10776a7.png It comes and it goes in the 404 alerts in Console and is really annoying. I reckon it started happening late 2022.

Any idea why this page is an absolute magnet for bots?
This page on our client's website seems to be an absolute magnet for bots, and it's skewing our Google Analytics stats: https://cbisonline.com/us/catholic-socially-responsible-esg-investing/proxy-voting/ We already filter out lots of bots in GA, primarily through a segment we created several years ago and continue to build upon, but plenty of spam traffic still manages to slip through – mostly to the page above. Last quarter, almost all of it came from two random cities in Europe, so we're going to filter out traffic from those places. (At least for now – not an ideal solution, I know.) But I'm really wondering what drives so many bots to that page in particular. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

We setup a new Google Analytics account for the new domain but the old one is still there
Hi, Our company has changed their domain almost a year ago and after the migration, they created a new Google Analytics account rather than changing the address on the existing GA account. Now I can still see that Google indexing the old domain. Just wanted to ask if we can still tell Google that we've changed the domain on the old one? Or, should we just go ahead and use the new one and delete the old one? Very confusing, but our traffic is constantly dropping although we rank for on the first page for tracked keywords, just want to understand if there is a connection between the organic traffic droppings and not telling Google we've changed the domain. Thanks! NJt7vbJ

Using Canonicals on category or link pages
Hey, If a site has category or tag pages showing in search results for a particular keyword - sometimes higher than the page you would like to rank - could using canonical redirects on categories and tags be a solution? Thanks

Hi guys, We have eCommerce.
Reporting & Analytics | | WayneRooney
We connected the site to the Google analytic eCommerce.
Everything was work fine until 3 weeks ago. Suddenly we stooped getting purchases information in the analytic although i see purchases in the website. We didn't change anything in the website and i really don't know how to solve this problem.
If someone here can point me where i can get some info on how to fix it it can be great. Thanks a lot!0 -
