Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Faye,

It looks like the 2nd URL you provided is already 301 redirecting to the first URL so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Hope that helps!

Hey!

Everyone has different learning styles so it's hard to suggest an absolute 'best way' to get into UX. If you're on twitter, I suggest following industry experts @jmspool and @lukew.

There are a lot of UX sites out there too. Page one for 'UX' or 'User Experience Design' on Google is a great start.

Because UX is so vast, you might want to get a sense of everything that encompasses it and then decide what aspects you really want to dive into. For example, you might find user research and usability testing boring but really be interested in Information Architecture or Interaction Design and focus on that.

It's definitely a smart idea to start to get more familiar with UX even if you don't plan on turning it into a career. UX already is a huge part of SEO in my opinion and is only going to become more important.

Best of luck!

Are they completely not showing up at all or just not in the "page one 7 pack" or carousel? (depending on the industry/query).

You may have to wait a bit. To accelerate the process I would work on auditing all local listings for the business to make sure the NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) is consistent across the board. Reviews also might help!

Good luck!

Hi there!

This is a common occurrence for WordPress websites and specifically for home page title tags. Google will often show different variations of titles or completely new titles based on the searchers intent. It makes sense if someone is searching your brand name but it can become frustrating when you want valuable keywords towards the beginning of the title tag instead of your brand name.

Some people argue that this doesn't affect rankings, as in Google is still indexing your proper title tag but is just choosing to display it differently. I personally think the opposite. I've gotten this problem fixed before and have seen better ranking results.

With that said, I would try different variations of your current title to see if Google will accept them. Something like: "TV Online | Assistir Filmes | Notícias | Futebol - GogsTV" or you could work the brand name into the title like "GogsTV Online | Assistir Filmes | Notícias | Futebol."

Hope this helps!

Of course!

Good luck with everything Amelia.

Hi!

Try messing around with your home page title tag. It's displaying as "Mach7 Technologies: Enterprise Imaging Solutions" for me in the SERPs. Google loves pushing brand names towards the beginning of the title tag and valuable keywords further away. Switch it up and see what Google likes. Even something like "Mach7 Enterprise Imaging Solutions" might bump you up a tad.

Also, Google isn't preferring the meta description you added to the page. It's using "Explore our award-winning enterprise imaging solutions and find out how an image management strategy can consolidate data access and sharing across the ..." from your home page. Try some variations of that so that the meta description doesn't get cut off in the search results.

Worth a shot! Good luck

We have you at positions 7 & 8 now, which is a little surprising to be honest. It looks like you have done a solid job with on-page SEO, however, the amount of links pointing to either pages is low compared to the competition on page one.

I'm thinking that you may have inadvertently moved yourself up by having us search this term and most likely click on your webpages.

Either way, you're on page 1 now!

Hi!

A competitor of yours might bid on terms associated with your brand to try to steal some of your branded search traffic. While this is not always the case, if you find it to be true it might make sense to continue spending to maintain those higher ad positions in order to keep most of your branded search traffic.

Does that make sense? Hope that helps!

No problem!

Ahhhh, that's a bummer.

Well, you could try to submit a URL from the .gov site that isn't as buried but links to the URL you want crawled.

You could try emailing someone that manages the website, giving them a helpful reminder that they have quality pages not being indexed regularly by Google

Good luck!

You could also try buzzsumo.com.

You could try the URL submit tool: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url

Isabelle,

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to install?

Hi there!

I took a look at the source code for the page you provided and the hidden H6 headers you are referring to is a CSS class named 'H6' and not actually a proper H6 tag being used. The diagnosis must be picking them up and telling you that they are H6 header tags.

Hope this clears things up

Hi Ashish,

Add the new version and delete the old. Retaining the old sitemap shouldn't flag you for duplicate content, however, it doesn't make sense to tell Google to crawl those pages if they are just going to redirect to new pages that are in the new sitemap. Extra work for GoogleBot.

Hope this helps!

Hmm I wasn't able to view that example with the URL you provided. What is the domain name?

Np!

Ohhhh my mistake, what you are describing sounds like image file locations rather than actual HTML pages, correct? Could you provide an example?

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

Google continues to push towards a 'mobile first' approach and I think you have a good reason to be slightly concerned. It makes sense to invest in this now because it's just going to become more and more important.

If you are producing high quality content I don't think Google will discredit it completely, however, not having a good mobile experience for users could potentially hurt your CTR and bounce rate on mobile. Google recently added (and I believe is still testing) a 'Mobile-friendly' tag in search results that lets the user know which results are or are not mobile-friendly.

All in all, I wouldn't completely stop producing content if you are seeing good results, but you really should push to invest in making your website mobile-friendly sooner than later.

Hope this helps you with your dilemma!

Hi there!

187 does seem quite high but it really comes down to the purpose of the pages. For some sites it might work, for others it won't. What type of website is it?

When doing a site / content audit I think it's important to understand what sort of value each page brings the user. You should consider looking at any analytics data you have for those pages to make a better judgement.

For example, if you find that the pages have a high bounce rate you might consider restructuring the pages or repurposing the image content for other areas of the website.

Hope this gets you thinking!
