      I had previous asked this question, where the issue turned out to be that I didn't have all the URLs in Google Search console.  Whoops!

      So I have added 4 properties that are really all the same property:

      • https://
      • https://www
      • http://
      • http://www

      I have added all of these.  This has raised a few more questions:

      • Can I get Google Search Console to treat these (and even group these together) to show as one property?  Right now they are all listed separately.  I know in Site Settings you can set a Preferred Site.  Even so, they show as separate sites with data separately.  Can I merge these?
      • What about Moz?  Should I do something similar to see traffic for each of these in Moz?  It looks like we are missing a ton of info.  Does Moz get this from GSC automatically?
      • What about sitemaps?  Can I fix this in sitemaps?  Do I need separate sitemaps for each property?

        Hi TapGoods,

        In Search Console, next to the red 'ADD A PROPERTY' button, there is a grey 'Create a set' button.

        Click this button and you can group your accounts and be able to view a combined data from these accounts.

        You can read more about this here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6338828

        With the Moz data, once you've created your property set, give Moz access to the set instead of the single account it would've had access to.

        About the sitemap, assuming that the four URLs resolve to a single URL (which they should), you only need to submit your sitemap to the account for the URL that your site uses.

        Cheers,

        David

        • We 410'ed URLs to decrease URLs submitted and increase crawl rate, but dynamically generated sub URLs from pagination are showing as 404s. Should we 410 these sub URLs?
