Why Custom Post Types Don't Get Ranked Well

[eWebify]

So I have started to use custom post types and have noticed that they don't get ranked very well in Google.  On the other hand a post will rank almost immediately.

Does anyone know any tricks for making custom post types rank as well as posts in wordpress?

Sincerely,

Garret, it would help if you can share example URLs. If you can't share in public, feel free to PM me.

There is nothing about custom post types that is inherently different from posts. The biggest issue is making sure you properly set up the site structure so that they are interlinked well with the rest of the site. Depending on your SEO plugin, make sure the right URLs are in your sitemap as well.

Other than that, you could be having issues with newer content taking longer to rank, but it's not an issue of custom posts vs. posts.
