Is there a way to get Google to index more of your pages for SEO ranking?
-
We have a 100 page website, but Google is only indexing a handful of pages for organic rankings. Is there a way to submit to have more pages considered? I have optimized meta data and get good Moz "on-page graders" or the pages & terms that I am trying to connect....but Google doesn't seem to pick them up for ranking. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi Julie. Have you added your site to Google Webmaster Tools? From there you'll be able to submit a site map as well as run crawl and render tests to ensure Google is able to access and see your site.
If you have already done that, perhaps include the domain here that is having trouble so you can get more specific recommendations. Cheers!

Three quick things you should do and I am sure the indexing ratio will go high!
- Index your website to Google Webmaster tool. If you are already there submit your xml sitemap to GWT and make sure it’s approved from there.
- Make sure the internal linking is done correctly. Don’t overdo it but atleast to some extent so that bots can move to other relevant pages on the website.
- The URLs are not indexing consider pushing them via social (twitter tweets would be ideal)
Bonus: If you can get quality links back to those pages that are not indexed would be mindblowing as this way the indexing will guaranteed.
Also check your robots.txt file to make sure no URL is blocked from Google index.
Hope this helps!

You need to suscribe in Google Master Tools and send your site map to Google. You will get more autority with that.
