Google Displaying Wrong Homepage URL

[vetofunk]

Hi Everyone,

Google is displaying www.domain.com instead of domain.com. We have our preferred URL set up as domain.com, and even redirect www.domain.com to domain.com, but in the search results it is showing www.domain.com. Problem is we are seeing referral data from www.domain.com and in Google it says "No information is available for this page."

Anyone seen a way to resolve this?

"We have our preferred URL set up as domain.com" - check which search console property you have done this in. Unless you're on the new domain-level search console property type (most people are NOT) - you should have http://www.domain.com, https://www.domain.com, http://domain.com and https://domain.com all registered as four separate properties. They should all 'agree' the syntax you want to use

If you are setting the display type in the wrong property, or doing it correctly but legacy settings in the other versions are contradicting you  - that could cause problems

Note that this is just a display setting only, it controls how the SERP 'looks' visually but has nothing to do with which URL Google is 'linking to' from their search results. For that area of the issue I can only guess that either you have to wait longer or something is wrong with the redirects on some level (or all the redirects are being contradicted by bad canonical tags, creating 'soft' redirect loops!)

Hi,

After looking into it more, I tried to submitting the https://www.domain.com to be indexed in Google Search Console. It is saying it is because the robots.txt file is being blocked.  Now after not finding anything related to this in the Robots.txt file, I did see we are blocking SID, and when you click through this page for the first time it takes you to https://domain.com/?SID=da6c01c48dae66de9384d5b71f7af386.

Could that potentially be the issue?
