Google Site search operator showing different results than Search Console
First of all Google Search Console can show you Crawled Pages and **Indexed Pages. **Google follows three basic steps to generate results from web pages: Crawling Indexing Serving (and ranking) Crawling: The first step is finding out what pages exist on the web. There isn't a central registry of all web pages, so Google must constantly search for new pages and add them to its list of known pages. This process of discovery is called crawling. Indexing: After a page is discovered, Google tries to understand what the page is about. This process is called indexing. Google analyzes the content of the page, catalogs images and video files embedded on the page, and otherwise tries to understand the page. Serving: When a user types a query, Google tries to find the most relevant answer from its index based on many factors. Google tries to determine the highest quality answers, and factor in other considerations that will provide the best user experience and most appropriate answer, by considering things such as the user's location, language, and device In summary, no all your pages at least not all the pages in your Search Console will be available on SERPs

Redirect Chain
you will be better off doing it at the domain registrar "manage dns" section. if thats not avialable than just set it up under cloud flare to go directly to https for all versions. make sure you update all your urls in your wordpress install.

Best way to see why a page is doing very well in organic search
Hi Matt To do this you need to be tracking some sort of conversion or Goal Completion on your forms. The form you are using might have a way to send goals to Google Analytics, but you would have to look into the technicalities. Or you may be able to use a landing page URL as your goal destination (I'm not sure how your form works though). This is a good intro guide to Goals: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-create-a-goal-in-google-analytics-to-track-conversions/ Here is Google's docs on Goals in Analytics: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1012040?hl=en Then once you're tracking Goal Completions on all pages, you can then look in Analytics to see conversion rate by page, and that will tell you which page is converting the best.

Site visitors dropped off- have tried everything
I ran the Google Lighthouse report and scored 98 on seo. Other areas seem under 50 points but not by much. How can I share the report with you to see what your opinion is about the Google User experience rating.

Syntax for canonical tag for a default page in a sub directory (not subdomain) of a web site?
RE: Changed page name, etc - still get a "missing canonical tag" error. At this point, I could be wrong, but I am convinced there's hidden problem, or a bug in the system. No more posts here, I emailed help@moz.com

Is a new website the only way to get better rankings?
Hi Jaun! Typically, a site rebuild is required when: The site isn't performing well due to technical barriers (like it's been built in Flash and can't be indexed properly) The site isn't usable by humans (for example, it doesn't render properly for mobile users) The site isn't usable by the business (like there is no CMS for the business to use to build out content on the website without having to have help from a third party) Did the company that audited your website specify any of these problems in their recommendations or are you experiencing any of these issues? Did they provide details about what they meant by "modern standards"?

Can't work out robots.txt issue.
I would follow the advise from Roman, I tried to access the file via a few ways as well and it doesn't seem to be an issue to load it at all.

/essions/essions keeps appending to 1 url on our website
Usually, we are talking about a wrongly coded page, which gives you a loop when crawling. If you can show the site itself, I will gladly help you find it. If you cannot disclose the url, you can do the following: create a crawl with a tool such as Screaming Frog, filter for these URLs, and check their inlinks and anchor texts specifically for this type of URLs. When you will find a pattern, you will find where the code is broken. Good luck!

404 Crawl Diagnostics with void(0) appended to URL
I think void(0) problem from WordPress theme if you use WordPress. Or, You can't setup perfectly javascript void(0) code on your template file. See the perfect javascript void(0) link examples on this page of wikihat => Kickass Torrents See the "click to open" button there.

Can I add more then 3 competitors do my SEO moz pro account?
I just signed up for the 30 day trial, and this is the first question I had. I'm also looking at Advanced Web Ranking, and they allow more than 3 competitors. The ability to track up to 10 competitors should be basic functionality for a professional tool.

Wix 301 Root Domain to HTTPS
Same problem too. Very frustrating as I don't have any 301 redirects as it is a completely new site.

Does google see the keyword "e cig" and "e-cig" as the same word? on MOZ it shows that they have a totally different amount of search quarries.
There's a really easy way to find out. Type e-gig into google and then if the results have ecig in bold in the meta descriptions then google considers it to be the same word. This is HUGE for my niche which is dentistry. I recently made an article about dental crowns and wondered should I call them dental 'caps' because it says in another of the tools I use that more people search for dental 'caps' than dental 'crowns'. In fact they are slightly different things but lo and behold, google sees them as the same thing because there's caps in bold when I type crowns and crowns in bold when I type caps. Rankbrain is getting smarter and smarter and Gary from google I think released a video about punctuation and compound words. So 'six year old', 'six-year-old' and '6 year-old' and '6-year old' are good ones to test it out on. You can see what google thinks are the same. Likewise using TM and R after words doesn't matter. So if you write an article for E-cig and then another for Ecig they are going to cannibalise or internally compete with one another. I had the same problem with '6 month smiles' and 'six month smiles'. The best solution is to use the words interchangeably and write at the level of your audience and write NATURALLY. Google is getting really smart and you need to forget the semantics and get down to writing detailed and really readable content that people want to spend time reading. There are some great tools like 'Answer the public' and 'LSI graph' that can also help you find other words people are using. they scrape from google so all the results are just what rankbrain and google is thinking right now.

301 and rel=canonical AGAINNNN
No reason to use both. I would even go as far as to say I wouldn't recommend it. 301 and canonical have different purposes. 301 forwards user to another page. Canonical removes the page from the index but the user is still browsing that page. I guess you know that. I wouldn't want to give Google even the slightest chance to mix it up and read it wrong.

Increase in Rankings, but search visibility is decreasing
It's a normal process when you start to optimize your website the more specific you are, the more precise information you get. For example, when I started to optimize my website, I started using our brand keywords and the numbers were insane from 2% went to 80% of visibility, of course, it just was our main brand keywords. Things changed when I try to use generic keywords then my visibility drop off and then I started to see real numbers It is an arithmetic trick Moz Search Visibility score represents your overall ranking performance for your tracked keywords. It’s calculated by: Taking all of your keywords and the associated URL’s position and applying a CTR for each position. The CTRs are then summed This number is then divided by the total number of keywords. Some useful links from the MOZ Seo Learning Center Related to your question Guide to Rankings Search Visibility Analyze a Keyword
