Secondary Pages Indexed over Primary Page
-
I have 4 pages for a single product
Each of the pages link to the Main page for that product
Google is indexing the secondary pages above my preferred landing page
How do I fix this?

Well that's just telling you that your secondary pages are better optimized for the keyword your looking at. Just do more SEO for the main page. Build more links with anchor text containing your keyword to the home page and optimize the keywords, etc for the home page.

Hi Bucky,First of all I want you to please check the crawling & Indexing of a web page.
Google will index all of your pages that are not blocked by a robots.txt file, password, etc.
I'll bet you had links from your home page to the other pages. That would be one reason why you are seeing other pages indexed.
It sounds like you may have had some duplicate pages. You should address those if applicable.
In order to get a specific page indexed please check this link:

I hope that your query had been solved.
