Homepage not found/shown on Google

    If I search in Google for http://www.der-sonnensturm.de or eng.der-sonnensturm.de, Google comes up with subpages, but not with the home pages. Why is that? How can I change that? Please advise.

    Many thanks,

    Andrew

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your homepage not being displayed on Google search results. This could be due to various reasons such as how Google determines your site name and displays URLs instead of site names in the search results.

    To address this issue and ensure that Google displays your homepage correctly, you can follow these steps:

    1. Add a Site Name to Your Homepage Title Tag:

      • Head to WordPress Dashboard -> Settings and enter your site name in the Site Title field. Make sure it complies with Google’s content guidelines.
      • Save the changes.
      • Navigate to WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading and check how your homepage is set to display. If it’s set to display a static page, ensure your site name is set as the page title.
    2. Request Google to Reindex Your Homepage:

      • Visit the Google Search Console and request indexing for your homepage URL.
      • You can also use Google’s Instant Indexing if you have configured it.

    If after following these steps, the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team at Rank Math Support for further assistance.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Andrew. We hope this helps in resolving the issue with your homepage not being displayed on Google search results.

    Many thanks, but this answer does not help me to solve the problems.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    We checked your website on Google with the site: operator and we can see your homepage is appearing on SERPs without any issues:

    However, please note that ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:

    1. Your website’s authority.
    2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
    3. How competitive the keyword is.
    4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
    5. Your website’s crawlability.
    6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
    7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

    We would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources we think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
