Buonjorno from 13 degress C heavily overcast wet Wetherby UK...

When you enter term "Ramsdens York" this page is visible in the serps:
https://www.ramsdensforcash.co.uk/buy-it/find-your-nearest-branch/york/#results

When you enter term "Ramsens arbroath" the following page is not visible:
https://www.ramsdensforcash.co.uk/buy-it/find-your-nearest-branch/arbroath/#results

So my question is please why when both pages have equally bad mark up & equally bad internal linking does one page rank & the other is invisible?

Any insights welcome

The first one is setup at Google Places For Business - http://www.google.com/placesforbusiness - the second one doesn't appear to be. If you didn't set this up, it was probably added by Google's data source providers (I'd guess they use something like Thomson Local or Yell) so you probably should 1) claim the Google Places listing for the York one 2) setup Google Places on the Arbroath site.

These pages are thin content and they are cookie-cutter.  There are only a couple dozen words on them total and only about a dozen words are unique.

IMO the webmaster will get enormous gains out of writing a little content, adding a few photos.  Those gains will not only be from search, they will also be from a better presentation of the business.

I know of sites that have lots of these types of pages and google only ranks ONE.  It sees them as on-site duplicates and filters the rest.  Also, sites that have a lot of pages like this could be hit with Panda rankings reductions across the entire domain.

Lol.

Deb is right - the page is not indexed

Does Google slipt the rank of:

• example.com/index.php
• example.com/

Nope, they choose the best page to show people.

If you add different content to different pages does google rank them differently?

Yes.

You know what you need to do.
