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    At the moment, Google's search results look very messy and out of date.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      Use the URL Removal Tool: To address outdated URLs, use the URL Removal tool in Google Search Console to request removal of old pages from Google’s index.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

                        domain seo redirecting domain

                        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!!

                        Google doesn't show my Twitter account

                        google search ranking issue

                        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!

                        Is it Ok to have multiple domains (separate website different content) rank for similar keywords?

                        multiple domains duplicate content

                        Is it 'OK' to have multiple domains in the following instance? Does Google actively discourage multiple (but completely different sites) domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same and or similar keywords if the content is slightly different? This is where the 'main site' has the details, and you can purchase product, and the second site is a blog site only. We are creating a separate content blogsite; which would be on a second domain that will be related to one portion of content on main site. They would be linking back and forth, or maybe the blog site would just link over to the main site so they can purchase said product. This would be a similar scenario to give you an idea of how it would be structured: MAIN SITE: describes a few products, and you can purchase from this site SECOND SITE, different domain: a blog site that contains personal experiences with one of the products. BOTH sites will be linked back and forth....or as mentioned maybe the blog site could just link over to the 'main site' Logo would be a modified version of the main logo and look and feel of the sight would be similar but not exactly the same. MORE INFO: the main site has existed for way over 10 years, starting to gain some traction in an extremely competitive market, but does not rank super high, is gaining traction due to improvements in speed, content, onpage SEO, etc... So in addition to my main question of is this 'ok' to have this second domain, also will it hurt the rankings or negatively affect the 'main' site? Wondering about duplicate content issues, except it will be slightly different...

                        Why Product pages are throwing Missing field "image" and Missing field "price" in Wordpress Woocommerce

                        technical seo structured data woocommerce wordpress seo

                        I have a wordpress wocommerce website where I have uploaded 100s of products but it's giving me error in GSC under merchant listing tab. When I tested it show missing field image and missing field price. I have done everything according to https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/product#merchant-listing-experiences and applied fixed i.e. images are 800x800 and price range is also there. What else can be done here?!merchant listing.jpg
