That probably depends on the platform but I wouldn’t waste time indexing individual complaints when people are looking, in general, for a big page about the airline where all complaints are made.

So they should be merged in a page about that airline, but instead of changing everything, maybe you can just call all the posts using taxonomies in the airline page and then simply noindex nofollow the individual complaint pages to not burn crawl budget.

Again… not sure if it’s good advice because I’m not sure I understand everything very well.

My advice, use the search console to filter before and after update penalties to see the pages that were affected the most. Then try to look for patterns in those pages. If all pages were affected… not sure what to say. It could be link penalty, content penalty… could be anything.

First of all, this is truly amazing article! We run a website dealing with consumer complaints. Every complaint has itโ€™s own web page. Lots of the complaints have the same subject (Example: America Airlines – delayed flight). Rating of the company depends on how many complaints are resolved. What would be your suggestion in this case? Should we still merge them?

Thanks.

Thanks for quick reply!

The website is not New. It was ranking No.1 for most of the Keywords until March Update.

After the Update, website tanked to 70-80 spots but quickly recovered in a month to same positions.

But, after the June update it has gone to 6-7 page for most of the keywords.

It is a authority site with backlinks from NyTimes and others.

Best,
Sandy

Usually, this happens with newer sites, even with new content.

My first response would be wait a little bit more, max 1 week and see if anything changes ๐Ÿ™‚

Do you have other articles indexed and ranking well? If no, then new site effect is most definitely the cause.

It’s called “Google Dance”, you’ll notice it, article jumps from positions to positions until it stays in a single spot.

Thanks for awesome information!

I have a website on a small-medium keyword. There are around 10 Google Pages after which it starts showing the omitted results.

My content is well researched, original and above 1500 words. When I request indexing from Search Console, Google start showing it in 6th page, but after 24 hours the result is gone.

The site is indexed, has no manual action and shows in Search Console when inspected for specific url.

Can you show me some light ๐Ÿ™‚

Best,
Sandy

Are there specific results omitted? Like the secondary service centers & locations?

Or are all pages omitted altogether?

When you say most, do you actually mean it?

First thing I’d do is eliminate all unnecessary content and try to compress it in a single page.

If you have thousands of companies and each has 5-10 locations, it doesn’t really make sense to have 5-10 pages for all locations.

Too many pages probably, while the site is not very popular and Google discredits it.
