      Hi all,

      I have a subscription based website with a members login. For our branded terms, this login page is outranking the homepage and we're unsure what, if anything to do about it.

      One suggestion was to deindex it, but the counter-argument was that we'd be taking away one of our spots on the first page. I feel from a user experience, it would be best to deindex it to try and get the homepage ranked #1 since the login page not optimised towards new visitors.

      Another suggestion was to just optimise the title and description to make it look a little nicer.

      I would love to hear your thoughts

      Thanks!

        Put a log-in box on your homepage and redirect the log-in page to the homepage.
