Unsolved Make Moz reindex the pages for keywords
-
Hi
Moz says we're 18th for a phrase but that's for the page /himonsia-generators because that was the highest ranking page. If you search now for "heavy range generators" we're jumping between 10-12th position but it's for the page /products/generators - which is correct. How can I make Moz "Reindex" the pages?

@RichardAskew If Moz is still reporting an outdated page as the ranking page for a specific keyword, it could be due to the frequency of their data updates. Moz collects data periodically from search engines, and there might be a delay in reflecting the most recent changes in rankings.
In such cases, it's advisable to give Moz some time to update its data and reevaluate the rankings. They typically update their data regularly, but the exact frequency may vary.
If you continue to see discrepancies between Moz's reported ranking and your pages' actual ranking, you can contact Moz's support team for further assistance. They can provide insights into their data collection and update processes, and help you understand any potential factors contributing to the inconsistency. -
Thanks for coming back to me.
The issue isn't I want Google to reindex my site, the issue is that for some keywords Moz is using a page that is no longer the highest ranking for that keyword.
Moz uses "page A" for "Keyword Z"
Optimisation carried out
"Page B" now outranks "Page A" for the keyword
Moz is still reporting "Page A" and not "Page B"

@RichardAskew Moz is a tool that provides insights and analysis based on the data it has collected. It does not have direct control over search engine indexing or the ability to reindex specific pages. Moz gathers data from search engines periodically and updates its rankings and other metrics based on that information.
If you want search engines to reindex your web pages, you can follow these general steps:
-
Make sure your web pages are accessible: Ensure that the pages you want to be indexed are not blocked by robots.txt or any other directives that prevent search engine crawlers from accessing them.
-
Submit a sitemap: Create an XML sitemap that includes the URLs of the pages you want to be indexed and submit it to search engines. This helps search engines discover and crawl your pages more efficiently.
-
Fetch as Google: If you want to specifically notify Google about a page's updated content, you can use the "Fetch as Google" tool in Google Search Console. This allows you to request Google to crawl and index a specific URL.
-
Internal linking: Include links to the pages you want to be indexed from other relevant pages on your website. Internal linking helps search engine crawlers discover and navigate through your site.
-
External linking: Acquire quality backlinks from other reputable websites. Backlinks can help search engines discover and index your pages more effectively.
-
Update content regularly: Adding fresh and relevant content to your pages on a regular basis can signal to search engines that your website is active and encourage them to revisit and reindex your pages.

Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords
Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?

Unsolved Getting keywords to rank on new landing pages
I've built new landing pages for a website, and have loaded them with researched keywords in the content, alt image attributes and metas etc - but, after a number of crawls, the keywords are currently being matched to other existing web pages on the website. Does anyone have any advice on 'unlatching' these keywords from these pages, and instead getting them to match with pages that have been optimised for them? Many thanks!

Unsolved Why did I stop ranking on a keyword and how will I rank on it again?
I often see in my campaigns, that keywords which ranked on a page between spot 1 to 5 on the SERP stop being ranked on that respective page, causing the website to be in the 5th page or worse on Google. I also see that the keyword is not linked to a page anymore. What causes this to happen and how can I solve this from happening in the future? Capture.PNG

Moz Reporting a brand page as KW stuffed for the the brand KW, not a problem i presume ?
Hi if I'm getting a keyword stuffing warning on Moz for a brand page for the brand name kw that shouldn't really matter should it? Moz just oversimplifying it since seen the brand name says 27 times on a page think it's stuffed, but if its a 2000 word page all about the brand, those occurrences are totally natural & hence Google will think so too generally speaking? Thanks Dan

Strange Ranking On 1st Page Of Google For Competitive Keyword
Hey all, So, I've noticed a site ranking on the first page in Google for a keyword that I have been targeting for years. The keyword is "mixtapes" and pretty competitive. The site, http://www.newyorkmixtapes.com is ranking around #4 in Google. It seemed odd to me so I looked into the site using some of the tools here. Open Explorer showed that they have minimal links. The actual site is pretty spammy also. Does anyone have any idea how this site ranked so high so fast? Is it ranking because I am located in New York? Does Google still put lots of weight on exact match domains? It's just been bothering me because it's a keyword that I put a lot of work into and then the site rolls around an ranks well for it with barely any backlinks. I just wanted to put it out there and see if I'm missing something obvious. Thanks everyone!
