Does having /search/ in your URLs for searches within your site hamper these URLs from coming up on Google SERP's?

[mycity4kids]

We are an aggregate site for a particular category and have our own internal search wherein visitors can search for local references to services that they are looking for. We use SOLR search and our results page for the "Tag123" search would look like www.mywebsite.com/city/search/tag123

For some reason, we see that these pages are all indexed on Google but they do not come up on SERPs appropriately! The content is unique and we also have appropriate title and description tags on these pages.

Having 'search' in the URL will not (on its own) stop your pages being indexed. A quick search for 'search' shows many pages indexed with search in the URL, domain and subdomain

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=search+&oq=search+&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l5.976j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Without seeing the pages, it'll be difficult to ascertain the reason(s) these pages are not being indexed.

Hi Yusuf,

Thanks for the response. A specific page that you could look at is http://www.mycity4kids.com/Delhi-NCR/search/guitar-classes

Hi Asif

That page is being indexed

https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=cr&ei=rpEdU6OzHcOUhQfkjIDwAQ#q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mycity4kids.com%2FDelhi-NCR%2Fsearch%2Fguitar-classes

It's just not ranking that well.

Probably worth trying to obtain relevant, high quality links to that page. Also, does appear to have a lot of keyword stuffing (guitar classes appears over 20 times on the page). The listings could probably benefit from short descriptions rather than key phrase based tags.
