It would be nice if you could easily noindex blog tag/topic pages and author pages.   There are 36 pages being indexed in google for our blog tags and authors. All 36 of these pages are thin content and showing up as duplicate content using siteliner.com which isn't helpding our visibility in search.   Our only recourse right now is to add /author/ and /topic/ to our robots.txt file. However, I doubt this fix is likely to remove them from Google's index permanently because there is a link to the author profile and topic page on every blog. Maybe editing the blog post template to unlink the author name and topic on blogs could help?   Either way, let's get this feature made HubSpot! ... Afficher plus

We are working through an issue with one client who hosts their website on Hubspot CMS. Bing stopped indexing their pages in August 2022. Prior to that date indexing was fine.    Researching this Bing (and Microsoft) is suggesting we install IndexNow (https://www.indexnow.org) on the website. CloudFlare has native support for IndexNow but we do not have access to HubsSpots version that is used on our websites hosted by Hubspot.    Upon researching futher, to manually set it up, we need to place an api key in the root domain. Since we cannot do that on Hubspot we are using the workaround by uploading the file and using a Hubspot Redirect.    So far so good. The next problem comes when updating search engines like bing, you need to run a script that submits the pages that changed to the search engine. Cannot do that with Hubspot, even though Hubspot knows when page content changes.    The idea is for Hubspot to either support configuring CloudFlare to update search engines automatically when website pages change or to natively support Index Now and send notice to search engines once a day regarding URLs that have changed.    Wordpress has two options, The Yost plugin supports Index Now and Microsoft offers a free plugin to Wordpress that does the same.    Please support Index Now.    Here is the Bing page on the topic. https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/august-2022/IndexNow-adoption-gains-momentum   ...

The actual sitemap tool don't allow us  to add some additional information to each <loc> entry to output a Multilingual sitemap. As specified from Google tells  to add an <xhtml:link> child entry for every different language variation of each piece of content (including the original language). So if our content is available in English (default) and French, we should have two <xhtml:link> child entries for each <loc> entry. ... Afficher plus

It would be great to have the following options for SEO recommendation scans   (1) interrupt/cancel in-progress scan Since scans can take several hours, it would be handy to have the option to interrupt them to re-prioritze other urls etc.   (2) allow exclusion of subdomains If you would prefer not to include some subdomains to save time/resources e.g. to exclude the knowledge base subdomain    ...

Stories are now used by Google (like every app). https://stories.google/ Now Wordpress seems to have a plugin where you can easily create story pages for Google.  Maybe this is an idea for a module or extra option for Hubspot. ... Afficher plus

For anyone trying to update older blog content, it'd be helpful to have alerts notifying you of potential 404 errors as a result of updating your page's SEO and URL. This is offered as a free plug-in on other domains and can:  You can redirect errors to any existing page or custom link (globally). You can set custom redirect for each 404 path You can optionally monitor/log all errors. Exclude paths from errors. You can optionally enable email notification on all 404 errors. You can choose which redirect method to be used (301,302,307). Will not irritate your visitors if they land on a non-existing page/url. Increase your SEO by telling Google that all 404 pages are moved to some other page. Create a plug-in like the 404 to 301 plugin available on Wordpress.  https://wordpress.org/plugins/404-to-301/   ... Afficher plus
