Google not listing website correctly

[Roycd]

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At the moment, Google's search results look very messy and out of date.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Use the URL Removal Tool: To address outdated URLs, use the URL Removal tool in Google Search Console to request removal of old pages from Google’s index.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

@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.
