      **I am not sure why the car accident pages were de-indexed. **

      New pages often perform fine until Google figures out that they are cookie-cutter duplicates.   Then they are filtered from search results.  The next time Panda runs the rankings across your entire site could be reduced.   What you see today could be just the start of your problems.

      If you want unique content, make it entirely, completely, absolutely unique.   Shortcutting by plugging in different place names and synonyms has not worked with Google for several years.

        Hi there

        This page is not deindexed, you're also targeting an difficult keyword in the phrase "Car Accident Injury Lawyers" with no search volume.

        Benchmark your metrics in OSE. I would also take a look at answer I gave in your previous question - there are so many resources to help you get started on a strategy!

        Hope this helps! Good luck!

          It's not that page that's de-indexed.  It's all the pages linked from that page. See when I do the same thing you just did it says de-indexed.

            Ok, so let's say I'm willing to spend significant time on each page.

            What could I even write that would make them really unique?  I mean I am giving the same information for each one just for the specific cities, no?

              Landscapers, architects, and construction companies who want search visibility in multiple cities write articles with photos and descriptions of previous work that they have done in those cities.  Companies who have stores, beauty salons, and restaurants in multiple communities have photos of their places of business with nice descriptions of what they do, the people they serve and the professionals who work there.   If you are unable to do these things they you really have no business presence in these areas and Google sets a high bar to block out spam.

                We don't have a physical presence but we have a large partner network across those cities.

                  Great, maybe you can get your partners to write this stuff.

                    Interesting.  Perhaps I will try that.

                    Do you think leaving all these cloney pages up right now is a risk to the site?

                    If so how do i manually (temporarily) de-index them until I fix them?

                      If you leave them up, Google's Panda algo might decide that your site is low quality and demote all of your rankings.

                      I would remove them or noindex them.

                        Ok, so going forward if I let's say, profile a local lawyer on each local page, or a few local lawyers is that ok?

                        Can I still title it Find a Lawyer Brampton, Find a Lawyer Mississauga, Find a Lawyer Stratford, if it is more unique from page to page?  Let me know, thanks.
