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@RichardAskew If Moz is still reporting an outdated page as the ranking page for a specific keyword, it could be due to the frequency of their data updates.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.

Targeting several keywords at once.
Curious how some of you are able to target several keywords on one same page, for instance for the page www.tutoroo.co/arabic-tutor-dubai we aim to rank first on Google for keywords such as "Arabic tutor" and "Arabic teacher" but also for "learn Arabic" or "learning Arabic". How do you rank up number 1 for several phrase keywords without jeopardizing current rankings?

Blogs Not Getting Indexed Intermittently - Why?
Over the past 5 months many of our clients are having indexing issues for their blog posts.
Technical SEO | | JohnBracamontes
A blog from 5 months ago could be indexed, and a blog from 1 month ago could be indexed but blogs from 4, 3 and 2 months ago aren't indexed. It isn't consistent and there is not commonality across all of these clients that would point to why this is happening. We've checked sitemap, robots, canonical issues, internal linking, combed through Search Console, run Moz reports, run SEM Rush reports (sorry Moz), but can't find anything. We are now manually submitting URLs to be indexed to try and ensure they get into the index. Search console reports for many of the URLs will show that the blog has been fetched and crawled, but not indexed (with no errors). In some cases we find that the blog paginated pages (i.e. blog/page/2 , blog/page/3 , etc.) are getting indexed but not the blogs themselves. There aren't any nofollow tags on the links going to the blogs either. Any ideas? *I've added a screenshot of one of the URL inspection reports from Search Console alt text0 -
How can I make a list of all URLs indexed by Google?
I have a large site with over 6000 pages indexed but only 600 actual pages and need to clean up with 301 redirects. Haven't had this need since Google stopped displaying the url's in the results.

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?
