      Hello All,

      I am currently having issues with the following website: http://universityforddurham.com/None of the vehicles the site has in inventory are not showing up organically.Example:2016 Ford Fusion in Durham, NChttps://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=2016+Ford+Fusion+Durham%2C+NCThe results page pulls University Ford North, which is another dealership we work with and has no issues showing up organically. Both of these websites were built around the same time, but the Durham store receives more traffic.If I perform a Google Search for VIN numbers, such as 3FA6P0SU0GR121259 the first page of search results are for the vehicle by all the dealerships in the Auto Group, except for the dealership that actually has the vehicle.I am wondering if the vehicles are not being indexed by Google. When I perform similar searches in Bing, the proper results are populating.Any suggestions or help would be great.Thank you!

        Hi there,

        at first sight, there are several issues.

        1. non-www and www versions arent redirected
        2. do not have a crawable sitemap.xml
        3. many of the sigle pages dont have a friendly URLs
        4. performing a search: site: site:universityforddurham.com appear over 8.000 results.

        The indexing part i believe is caused by the the lack of sitemap and the lack of friendly URL.

        Best of luck.
        GR.
