Google issues with places, maps, analytics and page ranking

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I have now had a domain for the last 3 years or so, for the most part I have only had a holding page due to my business being on hold, now I plan to grow my business so I really need to have a good web presence. I have only 7-8 days ago launched my new website and am fully aware the proper indexing of pages etc can take a while, my issue is that I have always had a places page and analytics account. My webmaster tools are currently showing analytical data and that 7 of the 8 pages I submitted are indexed.

 

So I have noticed:

 

1/ Whenever I type in my company name Google never predicts it as it does with most other businesses I look for

 

2/ When I check Google maps it shows up but only for a short time did I get my google map to appear next to my listing - this has now vanished.

 

3/ My google places analytics shows no impressions or actions but my listing does exist

 

4/ I checked my page ranking and it shows 0/10

 

5/ When I type my company name my webiste .index page appears 4-5 down the 1st page, when I type in my company name & City it appears at the top with the first 6 indexed pages (one of these is incorrect but I am putting that down to time from launch)

 

I would be really grateful if someone could advise what more checks I can carry out, I am at a loss as to why this is happening or not as the save may be.

 

Many thanks

if your on about auto complete, this is run froma sub system of the searching system, and will take longer to update.

 

 

2/ When I check Google maps it shows up but only for a short time did I get my google map to appear next to my listing - this has now vanished.

again, this is a sub section of the main search function and may take alot longer to come back

 

3/ My google places analytics shows no impressions or actions but my listing does exist

sounds like its just not ranking anywhere now, but could be wrong

 

4/ I checked my page ranking and it shows 0/10

has the url's changed. page rank is asigned per url... if that has changed even slightly then that page has no page rank.... do a 301 redirct from every old url to the new one where it is diffrent... that should of been done from the start but its possible you might salvage something.

 

5/ When I type my company name my webiste .index page appears 4-5 down the 1st page, when I type in my company name & City it appears at the top with the first 6 indexed pages (one of these is incorrect but I am putting that down to time from launch)

your website is now different, and it takes time to re-rank and regain the trust they once had in the website.
