      Hello Moz Wizards,

      We have recently launched a new eCommerce website www.memoky.com and think we did a pretty good job with the markup structure for feeding the hungry google bot all information available about a the products. However google doesn't like us very much : (

      It seems every time you google a product that we carry; the category pages that contain that product will show up, but the product page itself does not. Below are two examples, however this seems to be  site-wide which makes me feel like there is an underlying issue that we are missing.

      Examples
      when searched for "Eduardo floor lamp - matt black/matt yellow shade"
      Shows ups - _http://www.memoky.com/lighting/floor-lamps.html_
      Does not - _http://www.memoky.com/eduardo-floor-lamp-matt-black-matt-yellow-shade.html_

      when searched for "Derrick arm chair - white leather/ walnut"
      Shows ups -
       http://www.memoky.com/living/lounge-chairs.html_
      Does not - http://www.memoky.com/derrick-arm-chair-white-leather.html_

      that is the pattern for almost all the products on this site.

      Any thoughts on why this could be the case?

        Hi Jacob

        I tried to check your product pages but they're loading extremely slowly. I have very fast connection, so that's definitely a bad sign. Test your product pages with tools.pingdom.com and www.webpagetest.org to find possible page speed issues. If page load take more than 20-30 seconds and Googlebot experienced the same issue, it might just ignore your product pages and show the category pages instead.

        • Today all of our internal pages all but completely disappeared from google search results. Many of them, which had been optimized for specific keywords, had high rankings. Did google change something?
