Google doesn't show my Twitter account
-
Hello,
my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account.
It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top.
The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense?
What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal?
Thank you!

Google not showing your Twitter account in search results could be due to several reasons:
-
Privacy Settings: Check your Twitter account's privacy settings. If your account is set to private, Google won't index your tweets, and they won't appear in search results.

Indexing Delay: Google may not have indexed your Twitter account yet. It can take some time for search engines to crawl and index new or updated content.
-
Low Activity: If your Twitter account has low activity or engagement, it may not rank well in search results.
-
SEO Optimization: Twitter profiles with complete bios, relevant keywords, and regular posting tend to perform better in search results. Ensure your profile is well-optimized for SEO.

Twitter Handle Changes: If you recently changed your Twitter handle, it may take some time for search engines to update their indexes with the new information.
-
Twitter Visibility: Ensure that your Twitter account is set to be visible to search engines in your Twitter account settings.
-
Competing Content: If there are many other Twitter accounts with similar names or content, it could affect your account's visibility in search results.
-
Geographic Restrictions: Sometimes, Twitter content may not be visible in certain regions due to content restrictions or privacy settings.

With respect to your Question - "The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense?"
It not the case, check the screenshot below. As you have written your full name with a space Google will recognise it.
To improve your chances of getting your Twitter account ranked higher in Google search results for your name, you can try the following simple strategy:
-
Optimize your Twitter profile. Make sure your profile is complete and includes all relevant information, such as your full name, bio, website, and location. You should also use relevant keywords in your profile, including your name and any other keywords that you want to rank for.
-
Tweet regularly. The more you tweet, the more likely your Twitter account is to be crawled and indexed by Google. Make sure to tweet about relevant topics and use relevant hashtags.
-
Get engagement on your tweets. The more engagement your tweets get (likes, retweets, and comments), the more likely they are to rank higher in Google search results. Try to engage with other users on Twitter and encourage them to interact with your content.
-
Link to your Twitter account from other websites. The more backlinks your Twitter account has, the higher it is likely to rank in Google search results. Try to get links to your Twitter account from your website, other social media profiles, and other relevant websites.

@TimoRossa
Hi, Dear Timo,
you have near zero engagement on your Twitter account, if you check
site:https://twitter.com/timorossa
you see Google indexed your Twitter URL but in ranking it got a low score.
try to make engagement on your Twitter and also people should search more about your name google decided to find a better link version to show in SERP, so you can use your Twitter profile link in other social media: Instagram. facebook,.... to promote it. it will take sometime but these actions will do your job -
@TimoRossa its not a case of the name. How many followers do you have? Have you linked your Twitter to other credible sites? Linking to credible sites helps like Moz, Muckrack and LinkedIn will help this issue. Also, how active are you on Twitter? This affects it as well.

To improve your Twitter account's visibility on Google, consider these steps:
Update Twitter Name: Modify your Twitter account's name to include spaces between your first and last name. This can help Google recognize it as a more accurate match for your full name.

This can improve the credibility and ranking of your Twitter account in search results.
Public Profile Settings: Ensure your Twitter account is set to "Public" so that search engines can index your tweets and profile.

My posts have vanished from Serps What Should I do
I was using the Yoast plugin and for more than ten years and my keywords were always in the top twenty with many in the top five. I then moved over to rank math plugin and things were fine. Then i saw all my posts and pages go our of serps with not a single page in seps. I looked at the plugin and saw that it was still working fine but my subscription ran out two months previous. none of my brand news articles appear in serps. All my posts are indexed but not one of them in serps and not one of my keywords are ranked. Can anyone please let me know what to do to solve this

Who is correct - please help!
I have a website with a lot of product pages - often thousands of pages. As each of these pages is for a specific lease car they are often only fractionally different from other pages. The urls are too long, the H1 is often too long and the Title is often too long for "SEO best practice". And they do create duplication issues according to MOZ. Some people tell me to change them to noindex/nofollow whilst others tell me to leave them as they are as best not to hide from google crawler. Any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks for listening.

Page Title Displaying Wrong Company Name in Google Search Results
Currently, in some of our keyword search results, the wrong company name is showing up in the page title. We are a family of companies that all provide different modes of transportation. When we search up "Herc Air Charters" in Google Search Engine, the wrong operating company shows up in the page title (see screenshot, second result: "Lynden Transport" is our trucking company, and does not offer any air charter, this should say "Lynden Air Cargo"). Google decides what is best to put in these titles, so what would be the best way to ensure the correct company name is being displayed? Google Search Issue.PNG
