Why Google and Bing hate my website?

Hi there,

I’ve been facing a frustrating issue and I'm running out of ideas on how to resolve it. I launched a Docusaurus-based website in October 2024. Although it only really had meaningful content in November, the homepage was indexed shortly after.

At first, the site was quite minimal aside from the main page, but I’ve been consistently adding more pages, documentation, and blog posts since then.

Bing initially took longer than Google to pick it up, but once it did, it indexed most of the site and even ranked it highly for relevant keywords (like the name of my website). That lasted for a few weeks, until Bing suddenly removed the site from its index entirely. I’ve submitted a support ticket but haven't heard back yet.

That was strange enough, but now it seems Google is also not keen on indexing the site properly. It only indexes the homepage, even though it crawls almost the entire site multiple times a day. Early on, submitting a manual crawl request would take days—but now it responds quickly, yet still refuses to index new pages.

I’ve improved the Lighthouse scores, console says it's indexable, refined the content and keywords, added a lot more material, and even secured hundreds of backlinks (not paid, mostly not social). Despite all that, there's been no improvement in indexing.

Anyone have any idea? I'm not sure anymore what to do.

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...
