Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Marie

Thanks for your feedback - it was something that I did think may be related to Panda and was one of the reasons I opened this question.

The homepage was straight copy of the old homepage - the other website design company launched both sites - both where indexed - when I took it back over, I did a 301 right away - I also did address change in webmaster tools and verified the new website that all went through and believe shortly after the old website was then removed from the index.

I hope with next refresh it comes back a bit, strange alot of keywords im working on for homepage are showing in google places but not on the organic serps, but some are.

I just felt their is something not quite right with regards to homepage - wasnt sure if it was because it was duplicate content before I put the 301 in place

just seems homepage not ranking as good as I think it should - when we did his old website he was ranking top 5 in organic serps (not google places) for most of the keywords

an example without the in - its only showing in google places, other keywords aswell just showing in google places

if you search financial wise aswell few pages showing but not homepage

the homepage is the only place we have been building links to so far

the links - articles we have been developing have anchors related to business like

mortgage advisors west lothian etc, some of the searches showing up in google places but not in organic searches

a full site 301 has been done, it was the first thing i went ahead and done

but keywords im pusing which are for homepage, are not showing or showing a random page

Hi

Looking for a bit advice our client - www.financial-wise.co.uk

We worked with this client on his old website www.mortgage-wise.co.uk we had him ranking for most local searches. The client then re-branded the full company and got another company in to do this, they did him new website www.financial-wise.co.uk, the company then launched the new domain with the old one still showing, some of the content was the same, including homepage.

Anyway the issue im having now is, for certain searches im struggling to get them ranking again and for searches such as financial wise, its inner pages showing instead of the homepage?

I have che checked and homepage is indexed, i have also re-written all the text on the homepage but still having some issue, its almost like the homepage has been penalised

any help would be great?
