One of my pages doesn't appear in Google's search

[SwanseaMedicine]

Our page has been indexed (I just checked) but literally doesn't exist in the first 300 results despite having a respectable DA & PA.

Is there something I can do? There's no reason why this specific page doesn't rank, as far as I can see. It's not a new page.

Cheers,

Rhys

Hi there,

Do you have the URL for the webpage? It's hard to answer your question without knowing how it's optimised or the keyword its optimised for.

Check the following:

• has it been excluded in the robots.txt file?
• is there a meta noindex tag on the page?
• has the content been duplicated from another site?
• has the page been duplicated within your site on another URL?

There are so many possibilities. If you can supply a URL, maybe we can help you?

I hope this helps,

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reply.

Content hasn't been duplicated, and, from what I can see from the html, there is no 'noindex' tag on the page. However, I'm not sure about the robots.txt file.

URL is attached - http://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/medicine/bscbiochemistry/

Appreciate your help!

Hey Rhys,

A search for 'bsc biochemistry swansea university' showed your result in first position.

Looks like it's being indexed by Google.

What were you searching that didn't show it up?

Hi Sean,

Thanks for getting back to me. I doesn't rank, at all, for 'Biochemistry degree', which I don't understand. Granted, there is some big competition, but not showing at all? Seems a bit strange.

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers,

Rhys

Hey Rhys,

I've got you coming up at the top of page 3 for a search for 'biochemistry degree'.

Give it a quick check in incognito mode on your browser and let me know how you get on

Cheers,

Hi Sean,

You're right! Although, on mine, it was on page 2. Seems very unusual that with all the cookies and filters on, I was invisible on rankings?

Anyway, thank you for your help!

Best wishes,

Rhys

No problem at all. Glad to help!

All the best,
