I have checked one of your pages and found that the page title for (https://icon-ad.com/branding/) has already been updated in the SERP. The last time Google checked this page was on May 21, 2024.

Please note that the meta title and meta description displayed by Google in search results are automated. Depending on the search query, the title and description might change. Therefore, it is possible that while Google crawls the title and description you provided, it might show a different title or description in the search results. For more information, you can refer to Google's support page."
Hope this help!

If your robots.txt file is causing the issue, you can use Google’s robots.txt testing tool. Enter the URL of your site into the tool for testing. Select the user-agent (Googlebot) from the drop-down menu to simulate Google’s crawler.
If you find directives in your robots.txt file that are blocking Googlebot from accessing your site, you will need to remove or replace them with more permissive ones.
Additionally, if you’re still facing this issue in Google Search Console, try clearing your website cache, including any server-level cache, and then revalidate the issue. Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site.

Google can automatically identify and consider certain URLs as duplicates, even if you set canonical tags to specify your preferred URLs. In some cases, Google may ignore your canonical tags and apply its own canonicalization.
This issue often arises on multilingual websites where pages are very similar and have sparse content. Google may choose a different URL specification based on its own criteria.
To address this, you can use the URL Checker tool to see which URL Google has selected as the preferred one. This tool can help you understand if Google's choice makes more sense, such as if the chosen URL has more links or content.
By the way, can you please also add <priority>1.0</priority> attribute in your sitemap. I didn't see on your sitemap. By default, it will set "0.5".

Also add this line meta robot line <meta name='robots' content='index, follow, max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1' />. Make sure it's in the <head> tag.

Hope this help!

Thanks for sharing your webpage URL. It's great to hear that your page is now again at the top.
By the way, I have noticed that your mentioned webpage is linked with many spammy backlinks.
For example,
1) https://www.digitaltryckeri.nu/

2) https://loggainse.com/begagnad-studentlitteratur/
I also noticed when I clicked on your link on this website, URL navigates me on error page.

By the way, did you redirected http://mystudentstore.se/ to https://fotoklok.se/studentskylt/?

I think it's not redirected properly. It's showing me above error page.
Kindly, look this helpful post https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/301-redirects
3) https://www.arktis.org/blivande-student/
I also saw you Home page is also linked with many spammy link.
To avoid this type of problem in future, you should more focused on High-Quality backlinks. It increases your ranking on search engines and improve visibility in search.
Hope this help :)

Hello There,
I believe the sudden drop is due to Google's new Core & spam update. This update primarily aim to reduce low-quality, unoriginal content and show more useful and relevant content on search result.
I can investigate in detail if you will share your URL here. So, kindly share your URL.
Meanwhile, you can check Manual actions & Security issues on GSC.
These are all good reads, especially if you're certain that the current updates are affecting your website.

Few things you can try to fix the issue of your favicon not showing up on Google Search:
- Google needs to crawl and index your favicon file to display it in search results. Place the favicon file in a public directory on your website and make sure it's not blocked by robots.txt.
- Sometimes, a corrupted browser cache or cookies can stop your favicon from appearing. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, and then revisit your website.
- Even if you submitted your favicon to Google Search Console months ago, it's worth resubmitting it. This will prompt Google to recrawl your website and search for the favicon file.
- Ensure your favicon is in the root directory of your website.
- Use a consistent file name like favicon.ico.
- Use a square image, sized 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels.
- Save your favicon in the ICO file format.
- Google has certain requirements for favicons regarding size, format, and content. You can find detailed information about these requirements in the Google Search Central documentation at: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search.
Once you have made the necessary changes, it may take some time for Google to update its search results & start showing your favicon.
Hope this help :)

It happens. There is nothing you can do to index pages faster. When you request a page to be indexed using the Manual Indexing tool, it's added to the indexing queue along with other requests. If you submit another request before the page is visited by the bot, you will be moved to the back of the queue.
Overusing the tool by submitting too many pages at once or multiple requests for the same page can lead to being locked out of the tool for a period of time. The exact limits on usage are not publicly disclosed.

Reply to Site Title Displaying Incorrectly
Google Search Central•4/20/2024
Actually, it happens. There are many reasons for changing titles. Google shows changed titles from anchor text, mostly user queries, and more. Google mostly changes those titles which help users click on the target page and help the site get users, especially when you don't use a title or use the wrong title. Your title is changed with your company name.
This occurs because users are trying to reach you by using your company name with keywords. This indicates that Google knows users are trying to reach you.

I believe the sudden drop in clicks may be due to Google's new Core and spam update. This update primarily aims to reduce low-quality, unoriginal content and show more useful and relevant content in search results.
I noticed an issue on your website where popup overlaps by your post when scrolling up and down.

It will affect your user-experience.
I found your website linking too many spammy websites.

For example,
https://shubhangi.top/domain-list-910
https://ratnagiri.top/domain-list-910
https://washim.online/domain-list-910
https://latur.top/domain-list-910

-> https://www.mejorcodigo.com/p/95441.html
As per my advice, kindly remove these spammy links. This will help to recover your clicks.

The main focus of Google's March 2024 core update is to prioritize content that is more useful, informative, and aligned with user intent. This update aims to enhance the relevance and quality of search results.
I found your website linking to spammy websites.


2. http://www.bhplaygrounds.org/, http://feniksmc.nl/, http://draftford.org/ & http://www.badkamerdesignawards.nl/-> All these accounts are suspended & I found your link is available on these websites.
3. https://angel2014.com/ -> When user click on this website It redirects on https://www.simracinghub.nl

Hello There,
I think it's just because of Google's March 2024 core & spam update.
Basically the main goal of this update is to reduce unhelpful, irrelevant, unoriginal content from search results. Google also promises to remove up to 40% of low-quality websites that provide useless information and poor user experience & pages that only created just to match specific search queries. If your content is have same issues definitely you need to work on it.
It’s important to note that sites found violating Google’s guidelines will not only be penalized but completely removed both from the search results and the index.
Hope this helpful

I checked both websites on Google. tgcstaffing.com successfully crawled on April 1, 2024.

I also checked about arkininfoweb.com website 301 redirection & found website successfully redirected to the new domain.

This means Google already knows about your redirection. You need to wait until Google updated on their side as well.
Meanwhile, you can use URL Removal to remove old URL from the Search result.
Hop this help.

I think Google has not your indexed your page because I didn't see when Google last crawled your website.

Can you please do www.railwalks.co.uk (Home Page) Live Page Test under URL Inspection tool & check the status. If "URL is available to Google" then request for reindex that page using "Request Indexing".
By the way, robots.txt & sitemap file missing on your website.

Sitemaps and robots. txt files are essential tools for optimizing your website's crawling and indexing by search engines. They help you communicate your website's structure, content, and preferences to the Google bots that scan and rank your pages.
Once you have the sitemap.xml make sure you submitted in the GSC.

Hi There
The best practice for the favicon is to place it in the root directory of your website and use the .ico file format.
I check on https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_checker & found

Here is the document that will help you to understand how to define a favicon to show in search results
-> Your favicon must be a multiple of 48px square, for example: 48x48px, 96x96px, 144x144px and so on. SVG files don't have a specific size. Any valid favicon format is supported.
Once everything is alright you can reindex that page using "Request Indexing".
Hope this help.

404 status code means the page is not available because the server couldn't find it. Google doesn't index 404 pages because they present no value to users.
What I do for permentantly remove those pages from google search console
>>
- Use the URL Removal tool in GSC.
- Redirect those page to relevant pages.
Reply to Blocked by robots.txt
Google Search Central•3/30/2024
Like Karan said. It's not an issue.
When you see 'Blocked by robots.txt,' it means that Google didn't crawl your URL because you've blocked it using a Disallow directive in your robots.txt file. This also indicates that the URL wasn't indexed on SERP.
If your pages are still indexed on the SERP, you should check whether Google has recently crawled and indexed your page. If Google is still showing your old page, it indicates that you need to crawl and index the updated page.
Hope this help.

At present this one is a common problem for many users. This one is surely look like your site is hit by Google's latest core & spam update. You could follow the following action plan to recover from this hit.
1) Which pages or keywords are still ranking, and how do they differ from the pages and keywords that lost traffic? You can analyze this in Search Console by comparing your pages and keywords before and after the drop in traffic.
2) Identify your main competitors that have taken over your positions and compare their sites with yours.
3) Is the content unique and helpful to your visitors?
4) Does the content show expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T).
5) Also check if the pages have a spammy link profile.
6) Identify the similarities between the pages or content that dropped in the rankings. Do these similarities align with any features of the latest core update?
7) Check "Manual Action" there you can see a list of affected pages. You also need to check "Security issues" there you can see list of affected URLs.
8) Check website technical issues.
Hopefully, this analysis provides insights to formulate a strategy to recover your lost traffic.

I also found Google Cache shows unformatted webpage.

Hello There,
If you update your favicon and want Google to recognise the changes, you can request indexing of your site's homepage. It may take a few days or longer for the updates to appear in search results.
I already saw your updated favicon in Google cache.

So, just be patient.

If you see some numbers under non-https URL then you have to check this to resolve the issues.
I hope this helps!
Reply to Pages with redirect not indexed
Google Search Central•3/27/2024
"Page with redirect" means that some of your pages aren't indexed because when users or search engine crawlers try to access them, they're immediately redirected to other URLs. At present Google indexed 111 pages on Google SERP.
The one which are not still indexed kindly check that URL under Live Test then reindex them.
There is a //1000 attached to the end of the url
What does this mean?
As per John Muller, you can ignore them.

Alternate Page with Proper Canonical Tag means there are two versions of a page on your website having the same canonical URL.

Google will simply exclude the duplicate version and index the main version of the page.
If you still want to fix the issue you can use 301 redirection.
I hope this helps!

>> To resolve this issue, you need to set favicon. I have checked your website & didn't find it.
Follow these guidelines to be eligible for a favicon in Google Search results
- Google Search only supports one favicon per site.
- favicon file must be crawlable by Googlebot-Image and the home page by Googlebot.
- Make sure your favicon is visually representative of your website's brand. So, that people can identify your website quickly.
- You need to use this format <link rel="icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico"> to set favicon.
Note: Google won't show any favicon that it deems inappropriate, including pornography or hate symbols.
The second problem is that the search appearance of the site is not the one I set.
>> On SERP, I saw some pages are indexed with "www" version.

These pages are showing because Google doesn't crawl your website recently. Means these pages are still in the Google's cache. The good part is when I click on your website it redirected me on the non www version. To resolve this issue, you need to reindex affected pages from GSC & wait for Google to recrawl & reindex them.
The third problem is that for the 2aimpianti.com site there are still pages from the old site that have not yet been deleted and which point to non-existent pages.
>> As I mentioned above, those pages you can see because your website is still in Google cache. Once Google recrawl & reindex your website irrelevant pages will remove automatically.
Hope this will help :)

Discovering that a URL is currently not indexed is not an error. It simply means that Google has found the URL but has not yet crawled and indexed it. Google will crawl the URL for indexing, and once indexed, it will appear in search results.
It's important to note that indexing depends on various ranking factors, and Google does not index all URLs it discovers. Only URLs with high-quality, user-focused content are indexed.
It would be great if you can do live test. It fetches and examines the URL in real time.

Yes there are no specific timelines when Google index your content. Most common causes of indexing issues are duplicate content without a proper canonical tag, blocked page access, incorrect robots.txt file, poorly implemented redirects, and rendering issues related to Javascript.
I checked your website's cache version but it showing me 404 page.

Is it possible to check your URLs using URL inspect? This tool provides information about Google's indexed version of a specific page and allows you to test whether a URL might be indexable. It also provides details about structured data, video, linked AMP, and indexing/indexability.
