New site page goes up.
Ranks for branded terms 1st week.
2nd week we see branded + query rankings.
Then the page GOES AWAY.
Cannot be pulled up except with “URL.Domain”.
BUT we see LinkedIn/Facebook pages linked to our page show up, says Kristine Schachinger.
LI page even has our complete title tag and meta tag in from our own page — 100% as written on our page complete with a pipe & DOMAIN.URL.
We wait a few days, these pages stay, our page cannot be brought up.
So as an experiment, I create the same page but no index it…
So we redirect all the posts/ads WITH THAT PAGE LINK on LI and FB to new page that Google cannot read.
Within 24-48 hours our old page comes back.
The LinkedIn Page w our link goes away.
Facebook page goes away replaced w our general Facebook page.
All good…
THEN this happens.
Our page shows up with:
- It has an SGE result with our info
-
- branded term + key term so the SGE is just this site page
- a Featured Snippet
- #1 rank (branded) but we normally have another domain that comes up #1
- it outranks our homepage (as it should)
So it seems the LinkedIn / Facebook posts & ads with our page link supplanted our page and deduped it.
The page left within 24 hours of those going live and our page came back within 24-48 hours of the links being changed to a no index page.
And a week later it has all the bells.
Page as it appears today :
2 weeks ago, when the LinkedIn and Facebook pages with links to our page seemed to supplant it and our page could not be pulled up except with “URL”:
