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.

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
