Moving E-Commerce Store to Subdomain?
Thanks for the clarification on the platform Suarezventures. I have worked with plenty of brands that have a similar setup on Shopify. They usually put the blog on a subdomain because Shopify's content management system - let's see, how do I say this nicely... sucks. These clients put up Wordpress on a subdomain. Some also put up a landing page platform like Hubspot or Unbounce to which they send paid traffic. Your plan to put the eCommerce site on a subdomain has some benefits in that the content side won't be affected by future platform migrations on the eCommerce site. However, the content side will benefit the most from being at the main level with the homepage and most of the backlinks. Thus, organic search traffic to the eCommerce site could be harmed by this move. I normally wouldn't recommend it for that reason (because the business is eCommerce, which is what pays for the content) but in your case, it sounds like the eCommerce site doesn't bring in much traffic as it is. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Homepage was removed from google and got deranked
Hi Everett First of all I am sorry for the late reply, I was vacationing the last 7 days. Thank you for your reply. I think you might be right about the "sandbox" thing. The page had a good position in the google search results, but then we made a mistake and canonicalized it to a non-existent page for 4 months. It could be that google considers it a "new page", even though they had it indexed for a year. I appreciate your efforts, and I will wait some time, to see if it improves by itself, otherwise I will have to work some more on improving the contents of the site.

How long does it take my links to get indexed by Google?
For onsite links, it takes time to get indexed depending on the age of the domain and the domain authority of your website. Generally, it takes 72 hours for the links to get indexed, but if it doesn't happen, you can request forceful indexing through the webmaster. For more information, you can contact Bester Capital Media. I think the experts there can help you further in this regard.

Old brand name being suffixed on Google SERP listings
Glad to hear. Hopefully mine will too, but it's been 6 months already and still showing the old brand name as a suffix.
