Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The answer here is: it depends. Are these links a little bit shaddy? Or they are just generic web directories. On occasion number #1 I would disallow them. On Occasion number #2 I would not. It is never bad to have more links as long as they do not negative-seo you

Thanks for the info but my site is not powered by Wordpress  

The first thing I would do is focus on answering the questions people have. You can do this by typing in a product category (like motorcycles) at http://answerthepublic.com/. Based on a white paper released by STAT there are several types of questions that populate featured snippets at a faster rate, so I would focus on answering the what, why, and how questions first, and answer those questions in either Sounds like you're going to have some serious CMS limitations but hopefully this helps you add content in a meaningful way to your client's website.

Yes, that was the first thing I checked. o6ypWxA.png

I'd also choose the best page (i.e. with highest traffic) and canonicalize the other pages to show Google you know about the duplicate content. Then use noindex, follow but not for all pages - you want to get found in search somehow. Though, employees probably know about the discounts and have some other channel how to get to the page.

Q1: Easier said than done, but definitely worth the time to rewrite the "chunks," especially if they are descriptions. I can see if it's something like safety information, where you'd actually want it to be known it's coming from a trusted source. But, descriptions should be rewritable. If not, you probably don't want to pass the copy off as your own, so best to keep it separate and say something like "site XYZ has this to say..." Also, if it can't be rewritten, gauge how much content is unique to each page, and consider what else can be written about the cars to help balance out the ratio of unique to copied content. Q2: Make sure the dealer's website has self-referencing canonicals if that's the original source of the information.

You can find more details about how a reverse proxy works here. Regarding the setup, unfortunately that's outside of my wheelhouse - we had to rely on the tech support team to help out with that.

Hi Roman, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question, I appreciate that. Regarding your answer, please bear with me till I get everything clear please. 1- Config your search console with the languages of your site (create a sitemap for every language if you have a multilanguage website) My comment: My website is Only in Spanish, I'm using Yoast SEO on my Wordpress site, I think this plugin generates sitmap automatically without me creating it manually. I hope I'm right. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 2- Add the right href lang tag to your site - https://moz.com/learn/seo/hreflang-tag My comment: Do I need to do that if my website is only in Spanish Language? Should I add "href lang" in my internal linking between the pages? 3- And Never forget to add as many schemas as you can - http://schema.org/ My comment: I'm not familiar with schemas, I would really appreciate more details on this point if you can please. What exactly does it mean and how can I do it? Thank you again for your help Roman. Regards, Wajdi

Do we know if a quick copy paste from the lower 1/3 of the page into Google returned the page (and copied text) in question? Or, have you ever seen a case where the top portion is findable in the SERPs through a quick copy/paste of a portion of text, but text from the bottom doesn't return anything? I've seen this happen, and don't really have a good answer for it. Seems like it could be along the same lines? I know Google can't index a portion of the page, but strange how when you copy a sentence from the top of a page with tons of lines of code, you can find it in the SERPs, but doing the same from the bottom yielded nothing.

I understand why this is probably a difficult situation, but I would probably look into your Search Console terms to see what people are typing the most. Being from the UK like yourself I would probably type in Henry Vacuum despite the brand actually being Numatic. As growing up I was always told it was simply a Henry vacuum or Henry Hoover, however working in industry, people may refer to them as Numatic etc. Your search console will probably provide the best idea as to what to target, but as it stands I'd still hope to rank somewhere with what you already have. As a suggestion maybe try a few titles based on Item - Category - Brand Henry Xtra Vacuum Cleaner - Numatic Vacuums - [websiteName] And then repeat your title experiments after a while to see what works best.

Thanks Steve and Andy - very helpful indeed

Like Linda said, it's a bug that should work itself out (if it hasn't already). It's not a problem with your website, but a glitch on Google's side and should be cleared up and working again in a few days. Hope it's back for you!

Yes, I'm ware on that one and as we speek it's getting fixed. But I'm curious on x amount of irrelevant subdomains on rankings

After 1 month of mixed caches it fixed itself.

Forget it... I know this answer.  I've already fetched the previous url in GSC and it shows as redirected. Google is seeing it properly but for some reason still showing it  in SERPs.

Just posting to back Nicholas up! Totally agree with him

Hi Dieter, As a companion to the great answer from the RayFlexGroup, I have a few resources for you: Could Google Shopping Feeds Be a Thing of the Past? The post highlights some of the elements at work behind the scenes to render such results. It also shares some tips brands can use to increase the likelihood that their products show up similarly. Another great resource: 5 Essential E-Commerce Rich Snippets for Your Store There certainly is a schema markup for products. Let us hear from you once you give it a try RS

So as I mentioned I would never delete a page without a redirect (even if that is a redirect to the homepage).  If you do that, there will be a minimal amount of authority that you lose.  There's no way to know exactly how much, but it should be marginal. As for the referral traffic, I mentioned how to measure that above.  But again with a 301 redirect, you will keep that traffic and if it is still relevant traffic, it should still add to your bottom line.
