Google doesn't list my blog posts

MVieira88 — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 20:29:03 GMT

Hi there,
I haven't been indexed by Google for my blog posts. What am I doing wrong? Having solved this problem, where should I go next?

The URL of my website is https://www.marcilo.com/

Hi @MVieira88. Once you've taken care of what @TitiCuisset shared, I would spend some time understanding some strategy from leaders in SEO like HubSpot, Semrush, Moz, and SEO National. Here are a few HubSpot resources I'd suggest digging into to ensure a deeper SEO & content marketing understanding:

What Is a Pillar Page? (And Why It Matters For Your SEO Strategy) [blog]
Content Marketing Lesson: Creating Topic Clusters and Pillar Pages [Academy]
Topics, pillar pages, and subtopic keywords [Knowledge Base]

Hopefully that helps!

Hi @MVieira88 -- I could not find the blog posts on the website. Can you share the link to your blogs?

Thanks.

Hello @MVieira88 ,

The first thing to do to index the blog faster is to put a link to the blog in the navigation (header or footer).
The indexing robots follow the links from the home page to explore the site and discover the URLs. In order for a page to be indexed, it is therefore necessary to ensure that it is easily accessible to search engine robots!
At first sight, it is not possible for a user to access the blog via the website, so Google crawlers will not be able to find it either 🙂

Is the blog hosted on a subdomain? Because your main domain is indexed and referenced and does not present any indexing problem.

For the rest, here are steps to follow to make sure there is no indexing problem:

Check that there is no "no index" tag on the blog pages (in the <head> section of the pages)
Check that the access to the pages is not blocked in the robots.txt
Install a Search Console on the domain where the blog is hosted.
Generate a sitemap for the blog
Submit the blog's site map to the search console

Installing a Search Console will allow you to know if there is a problem blocking the referencing of the site, here is a Google documentation to install it.

If you use Hubspot for blog posts, you can also connect Hubspot and Search Console to analyze the performance of your blog post pages and make reports, which is very useful : https://knowledge.hubspot.com/content-strategy/enable-the-google-search-console-integration-for-your-content-strategy-tool

I hope I helped you!
