Hello everyone, I need help! I have a podcast called “Pop nach 8” and an accompanying website that I created with rapidweaver: https://popnach8.berlin When I first launched this website, Google and all the other search engines would find and list it, usually at first or second place when, for exam…

Hi, I just search on Google from France and I found you on top (popnach…). I think a problem occurs with « pop nach… », the space between the two words give others results with « Nach » on top.

Do you have a Google Search Console account (assuming you do from the things you mentioned you tried)? What is Google Search Console telling you? Usually you can see why Google can’t/won’t index your site from there. Also just a side note, I noticed you have your site language setting set to Englis…

Thanx for checking! Interesting thing is: it worked perfectly well for a while after I launched the site, then it did not. But, as mentioned, bing and duckduckgo, yahoo, yandex and aol find and list it.

Thanx for taking the time, Dang. Yes, I use Google Search Console, trying to solve the problem. There it says that popnach8.berlin is an indexed page. There are a couple of (I assume) minor problems, for example a soft 404 error for some pages that no longer exist. And some of the sub-pages under th…

Just checked: Seems to be a bug within Rapidweaver 8: [image] [solved] RW language settings do not work? RapidWeaver Classic I am not able to get a basic feature working as intended: the site/page language setting. Neither the global setting nor the page related settings d…

Also I have to point out I don’t think the above issue is preventing Google from listing your site at the top of its SERPs (or in its SERPs at all). I just noticed it while checking your site and thought it would be good for your lang setting to match the language your site is actually in. :grin:

Thanx DanG for looking into this. Yes, I have an old Brandon Lee Theme that I use. Might use a new one. And will change my project to RW Classic in the near future, I am still using RW8 Pretty sure, too, that my issues with Google have nothing to do with the language setting. I hate Google (until t…

Yes, the theme is too old and you have some major errors in the structure of the website. Too many H1 headings. I would definitely change that. I don’t understand why there is a duplicate page description … I read everything at Seobility: popnach8.berlin | SEO Bewertung | Seobility.net

The values for Google PageSpeed Insights could be a little better. Use a new theme, or Foundry, or one of the other useful frameworks. Only the best should be used for a project like this :slight_smile:

Need help with my site - google is not listing it!
