How to display the exact url of our subsite in Google

[shebinhassan]

Hi,

I'm new to SEO and we just recently relaunched our site. Our site consist of 6 hotels that acts as a subsite. We noticed that when search for one of the hotels what is coming in the google is the main website.

Example: We search for flora grand. We expect that in Google it will display the first link as

www.florahospitality.com/dubai-flora-grand-hotel.aspx.

But it show the main site which is www.florahospitality.com

What do I miss here?

The page isnt indexed

Do this search, and you'll see that it isn't inclued in Google's index: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.florahospitality.com%2Fdubai-flora-grand-hotel.aspx

I don't know why the page isn't indexed though.

It has a ROBOTS index follow and it's not excluded in your Robots.txt. Try linking to it from another spot on your site. Maybe you have some duplicate content somewhere? So content that's the same as the content on that page.

Once the page is indexed, your homepage could still rank higher for the search term (not likely though) but because your homepage always accrues the most links, so will also be the most popular url, according to Google, to show.

Well we do have a multilingual site but it is not machine translated and I use canonical tags that include the language code to differentiate each page.

How can I tell google to reindexed these pages?

It's baaaaack

Don't know why. By in any case. If you come across this again. First check if the page is even indexed and try to find out why the page isn't indexed. Usually because of duplicate content or excluding it somewhere in robots.txt or putting a noindex nofollow in the head.
