What's going on with this Google-selected canonical?

I noticed something odd after implementing canonical tags on my site. Around the time of Google's December core update, I saw a significant drop in traffic and impressions—first on Google (to zero), then a week later on Bing. Traffic on Bing has since started to recover, but on Google, things are still flatlined. One major change I made during this period was adding canonical and self-referencing canonical tags. I'm unsure whether this was the cause of the drop, if it was due to the Google update, or perhaps a...

Here today, gone tomorrow, and back, and again gone?!?

What is the deal? Does google intermittently index new content? Or is there something else going on? One of my posts was getting on page 1 immediately, only to disappear, then reappear and then disappear again. Some things I should point out, these blogs polished by being rewritten by AI, but the quality is still as good as any of my articles written from scratch. My website also doesn't have a passing score for performance. On PageSpeed Insights, I do typically see a performance score of 45-55, but accessibility...

If we receive a backlink from a website, Ahrefs doesn't reflect the same even after 2 weeks. is it possible that the websites giving links don't have a proper SEO implementation due to which it doesn't get reflected in tools or takes time to reflect?

My home page ranking higher than my optimized page for a keyword

I optimized my homepage for “cleaning services city” but saw a lot of traffic on another keyword “house cleaning city”. So I decided to create a page optimizing for that keyword. Headings, meta data, etc. but my homepage is beating that page by 2 positions. I’m afraid of cannibalization. I’m thinking of building links for my “house cleaning city” page, since my home page may be ranking higher due to it having more authority from links, and still being highly relevant to the keyword. Let me know what you...

Company Being Completely Impersonated - No Idea What To Do

Hey all We're a small fully bootstrapped software company getting prepped for our launch and completely by accident I came across an impersonated version of our company on linkedin. I don't really care for self promo but for context this is what they've done. Our domain is groas . ai , they've gone ahead and bought groasai . com and somehow managed to completely copy our website and put it as theirs.

How to baseline current search placement and measure progress?

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a good way to baseline what my current search engine placement is for some basic keywords I'm aiming to target. I'd like to do this before I start using SEO plugins for Wordpress and seeing how I progress. And then obliviously check it after a couple months of work to measure the effectiveness of what I'm doing. What are some people's suggestions???

Bumping search results off the first page...

This is somewhat tangential to SEO, but I figure that you SEO experts would have the best ideas... I have a unique full name (completely unrelated to my Reddit username), and a Google search of it returns 3-4 hits on the first screen about a lawsuit filed (and subsequently dismissed) against me by my nutjob sister. I'd love to bury those results and am wondering what are good strategies for getting more, higher-ranking results for a search on my name. I'm a pretty average Joe, not likely to win...

How to maintain dominance?

I’m not there yet - not even close, but seeing as my industry is not super competitive, I think it won’t take long for us to get to that coveted #1 keyword search spot for each of our individual locations with my in-house SEO and social media marketing team. That said, when we get there, how do we maintain dominance? I don’t think I should just lay off my staff right.. do we aim for 10 blog posts a week? Link building all day errday? How do y’all who’ve...

How do I build authority for SEO?

I'm building a free tool site (calculators and unit convertors), which went viral in a few subreddits, sending 2K+ visitors to my site in the past few days. Its very young and most pages are yet to be indexed. I wish to turn this site into one of the most trusted and reliable sites for calculators, unit convertors and similar resources. Some things that come to my mind are fast, responsive and well designed pages and tools, better content, blog posts (maybe, not sure about this), on page and...

Google Business Profile got restricted to publish Posts

I have been publishing some posts/news on the Google Business Profile of a client once every few weeks. With the last post the Business Profile got somehow restricted to publish posts furthermore (the post was kinda about a medical topic and I think Google might be sensitive to that). Whenever I publish a post now, it doesnt goes live and within a few minutes I receive an email that the post got removed. I tried it with all kind of different content but whatever it is, it gets removed.....
