Brand name not ranking in Google
-
Hi Moz'ers,
Could you help me with something I cannot seem to figure out by myself.
In June 2017 my company started a rebranding campaign. We've changed our brand name and launched a new website: https://spotler.com.
Everything is going fine, but if you Google our brand name "Spotler" our website doesn't show up. How can it be? Our domain authority is 38.
It would be wonderful if you could help me. Let me know if you need more information.
Best,
Simone

Simone,
I've meant to set the configuration in Google search console, going to: search traffic -> international configuration. There go to the country tab and select your country.
Best luck.

Hi Gaston,
Thanks for your help! I've added a hreflang to the site, is that what you mean with configuring the language in GWT?
Best,
Simone

Hello Simone,
I think this is a problem of regional targetting.
Well you are definetelly indexed. I get 290 results with site: search.
What i can see is that you have a gTLD and you want to rank for netherlangs. Have you configured the language in Search Console?
Cant see it from here, have you redirected the old site to the new one? That might help a little.Let me know if those already done, in order to dig further.
Best luck.

Are you sure? I am finding your site with this keyword "spotler" on google.
-
Have you set up a Google + account? - https://www.google.com/business/
Set one up and fill in all your company details, photos etc.
then verify your domain on it.
Also get a your address verified by having a Google postcard sent (or sometimes you can do it via a landline)
Then get a couple of reviews.
Get the above sorted and it should show up in no-time!

Ranking fluctuation
Has anybody got any ideas? I have a website that ranks quite well for an industry keyword, the site has a reasonable amount of authority. But the term is fluctuating between position 3 and position 9! It is on a beefy stable server. It is reasonably well optimised from both SEO and speed point of view. It is tracked using Moz RankTracker. I do realise that rankings fluctuate, but this is ridiculous!

Google Update? Anyone seeing a drastic change in rankings?
Hey everyone, Has anyone seen a drastic change in clients Google Rankings, we have one which has dropped from 9.5% visibility to 5.4% in one month.. It's extremely worrying as I have never seen a drop like this before since I've managed the account, in fact rankings have increased month on month since we took over the account. I've also looked at google, no penalty showing, I've started removing spammy sites who link to us and also added no follow to some of the links on the site which linked out to try and keep some link juice in the site. Anything else I can try / do?

Click to Expand Content - Does anyone know if Google discounts this as a ranking signal ?
Hi All, I read an interesting answer from Tom Roberts on another question and one of things he mentioned was that there are conflicting reports about "Click to Expand " Content being discounted with a link to the article - https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hidden-tab-content-seo-19489.html My eCommerce uses this method on every landing page and tabs on our products pages so I am wondering if others had first hand knowledge of whether using these methods had affected their sites or not ?. I may try to experiment on a few pages to remove this and show all content at the bottom but it does kinda ruin the pages a bit so I wanted to know what peoples thoughts were before I screw up my pages and think about page redesign etc etc. Also , if I was to try it ,then how long should I experiment for ?. would a couple of weeks be sufficient providing google crawls them regually thanks Pete

Link from Google.com
Hi guys I've just seen a website get a link from Google's Webmaster Snippet testing tool. Basically, they've linked to a results page for their own website test. Here's an example of what this would look like for a result on my website. http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.impression.co.uk There's a meta nofollow, but I just wondered what everyone's take is on Trust, etc, passing down? (Don't worry, I'm not encouraging people to go out spamming links to results pages!) Looking forward to some interesting responses!

Google + under Google business domain email account
Hello there, I have a quick and straight question and I am hoping to find answer here. What do we do with a G+ profile that was set up through a business domain's email account that is used by more than one person? We want to use the company name, but we can't as it is considered personal email account although it is under business domain verified by Google. Is there a way that we ask Google to change it and allow us to use the name of the company or should we just deactivate it? Thanks in advance!

How do Google Site Search pages rank
We have started using Google Site Search (via an XML feed from Google) to power our search engines. So we have a whole load of pages we could link to of the format /search?q=keyword, and we are considering doing away with our more traditional category listing pages (e.g. /biology - not powered by GSS) which account for much of our current natural search landing pages. My question is would the GoogleBot treat these search pages any differently? My fear is it would somehow see them as duplicate search results and downgrade their links. However, since we are coding the XML from GSS into our own HTML format, it may not even be able to tell.
