      In Moz page onsite explorer, I'm getting a page rank of 1 for https://productcategory, and www./productcategory, but for the non-www version, I have a page rank of 33.  The DA for each link is 25

      Google is indexing my https:// version of my site (with the page rank of 1).

      Could this be why I'm getting outranked by my competitors (who have no content on their page, no links, and a lower domain and page authority than me?)

      Does this indicate some kind of issue with my redirections or settings in google search console?

      I would love to know how to fix this if it could be causing issues

      Thanks

        Hello,

        Whichever version of the site you want to display, (www or non-www) I would set this in the google search console as the preferred domain. You may also want to check that in your .htaccess file you have the proper redirects. One to make sure all links are redirected to https and another to make sure all links are redirected to www or non-www, whichever version you have set in the google search console. If different versions of you URL are accessible, this may be why you are seeing these issues.
