      Hello,

      We have created a new page for truck rentals but for some reason it does not seem to be picked up.

      See this report: http://screencast.com/t/npYqeoa5gq

      The page is: https://www.globecar.com/en/montreal-truck-rentals but our main site is being pickedup instead vs the competition that has their truck page showing up.

      Can anyone help me understand?

      Thanks,

      Karim

        Hi Karim,

        I can see that you are disallowing a lot of things in your robots.txt file. Have you checked your robots.txt and meta robots? When you say it's not being picked up, do you mean it's not indexed by Google or it just doesn't rank well?

        Thanks,

          Okay, I can see that you are disallowing: /locations/montreal/. This what might be causing the issue. I think you should ask your developer to review the technical side of your website.

            If I do a search for "site:globecar.com truck" I see the page, so it's in the index.

            However, what are you trying to rank for? Maybe the title should start with "Montreal Truck Rental" instead of "Montreal Truck & 4x4 Pick-Up Rental" - especially if you're trying to rank for the upcoming moving season.

            The good news is that on my personalized search results for "montreal truck rental" your Atwater location is the first item in the local 3-pack, however, that might be because I rent cars from you sometimes - when I use the Mozbar to do a non-personalized search using Google.ca in Montreal you don't appear anywhere in the first couple of pages.

            Do you have any messages, penalties, or warnings in Google Webmaster Tools?

              The page is indexed in Google just fine, if you use a site:https://www.globecar.com/en/montreal-truck-rentals query it is there. Most likely, though, there is an issue with duplicate content. The is not a lot of text on that page, and that may be very close to other pages on the site. I would check siteliner.com to see if the page has duplicate content similar to other pages on the site.
