Log-in page ranking but not homepage

[vtmoz]

Our homepage is outranked by log-in page for "primary keyword" in Google search results; for which actually our homepage was optimised. I have gone through the other answers for the same question here. But I couldn't find them related with our website. We are not over optimised. We have link from top navigation menu of blog to our homepage. Does this causing this?

I would add the "noindex" and "nofollow" tags to your login page (if this is a website login page for employees only), as you do not want people landing on the login page I am assuming. Also make sure your website and preferred homepage is set in Google Search Console. Doing both of these should help, as well as driving a few more links to the homepage.

Hi,

Our login page is for users, nit employees. Most of the people browsing from our website will browse through login page. So I'm afraid what signals we are sending to Google by noindex or nofollow such important page. Again, I don't think login page has been making on results just because it's highly browsed.
