Seeking Advice: Multi-language Wholesale Site Struggling with Google Search Visibility

Hey everyone,I'm the owner of a wholesale website that's been experiencing some puzzling issues with Google Search visibility, and I'm hoping to get some insights or advice from this knowledgeable community.

Our site originally featured products in two languages (Estonian and English) with around 25,000 products. About six months ago, we expanded our offerings to include Russian, German, and Finnish, bringing our total to around 60,000 products. Despite this expansion and an increase in our domain rating (up 10-15 points over two years according to Ahrefs), we've noticed some concerning trends in our Google Search Console data.

Firstly, the count of indexed pages has decreased, while the number of non-indexed pages has risen. This is perplexing because we've also updated our sitemap on October 31st to reflect our expanded inventory.Additionally, when analyzing our performance in search results, there are two distinct periods where we've seen a drop in performance. This is particularly frustrating as we've invested significantly in translating and manually adding products in German and Estonian, yet it seems like our products are becoming less findable on Google.

I'm trying to figure out what might be causing these issues. My developer, who isn't an SEO expert, is also looking into it, but we haven't been able to pinpoint the problem yet.Has anyone here faced similar challenges? Any insights, suggestions, or advice on how to improve our visibility on Google would be greatly appreciated. Maybe there's something we're missing or a strategy we haven't considered.Thanks in advance for your help!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
