Seeing a lot of posts and comments around X and especially for diagnosing crawled and Discovered, Not Indexed. I have seen some slight references to Google saying that its related to content quality but then Google's content quality has always been measured by authority

Seems to be stemming from this Google Product Support by a support volunteer - which looks like an AI answer itself:

The SEO starter Guide is pretty clear - you may want at least one word in your page but there's no minimum word count

Datos published a study showing that AI is not outpacing search in growth or usage.

On an absolute basis, traditional search is outpacing AI tool growth.

Despite the "disruption", people are searching Google as much as ever...

Now, before you attack this thread, I am not claiming this should convince anyone to forget about LLM optimization. I believe SEO and GEO are inseparable.

If there's one thing that is actually disrupting SEO (or else its traditional metrics and KPIs), it is the AI Overviews as they are the biggest drivers of 0-click marketing at this point.

I am consistently working on SEO like posting blogs, creating backlinks, optimizing keywords, and improving website speed, but my rankings and traffic are still very low.

What are the biggest mistakes that stop website growth on Google? Would love to hear simple tips and real SEO experiences from others.

Hey. I'm pretty new to SEO and trying to figure out what the next few weeks should look like.

We're doing good with sales led right now but wanna start doing some marketing too and SEO feels like the place to start. For context (if it matters for SEO) I work at SaaS company.

I would think doing everything would be good, but what do I actually prioritize. Which steps come first and which come later. What are the low hanging fruits? Like is it blogs, alternative pages, programmatic SEO, backlinks, videos...

Any advice appreciated 🙏

Hey everyone!

I’m working on my travel business website from scratch and would love your input. So far, I’ve added:

- A booking tool for flights, hotels, and car rentals
- Another tool just for excursions and tours
- I’m also planning to add a booking tool for cruises soon
- Plus, I’ve got individual pages for key areas to visit, complete with attractions and recommended hotels

I’m just wondering if the site feels overwhelming or if there's anything you think I should add or remove. Any advice would be super helpful!

My friend has a news website that covers daily news, as I studied marketing he asked me to help in SEO. I have no experience in SEO, I tried to do some courses and watch youtube videos. At first I thought that if I submit sitemap to GSC, and work on keywords to optimze meta title, metadata, h1, h2,..I'll get indexed easily and I'll get ranked. But after months from trying, other than homepage, all the articles get unindexed. Sometimes GSC shows that thousands of articles got indexed and after a while all of them get unindexed except homepage.

Technically all news articles are similar, I mean if there's a certain news, then all big news media write about it, so it's obvious that google doesn't index our articles as we're small. So now I don't know what should I do exactly. How to build backlinks in news field and build authority? I find it hard to find a blog who would be interested in citing a news website

I also hear about technical terms like JSON LD and stuff like that which I have no idea about.

Is it possible to do SEO for news website and get indexed and ranked? Like does it need a big expert or I can do it myself ? Because after almost a year I feel like it's super difficult even if I am willing to learn. Any practical tips or advices ?

my title look like this for instance

Tittle Part 1 | Tittle Part 2 | Tittle Part 3

but in search result shows like that

Tittle Part 3

I wanna know why google is not indexing properly. My tittle's only certain part show on SERP. I do request indexing via GSC but still look like this. What is the problem

is freelancing a good idea in 2026? Thanks in advance

BRUSSELS,, May 6 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google has offered to change its spam ​policy criticised by publishers, according to a European Commission document ‌seen by Reuters, in a move that may help it stave off an EU antitrust fine.

The U.S. tech giant found itself in EU regulators' crosshairs after ​publishers complained about its site reputation abuse policy. It targets ​the practice of publishing third-party pages on a site in ⁠an attempt to abuse search rankings by taking advantage of ​the host site's ranking signals, commonly referred to as parasite SEO.

I just started my new commerce store and looking to improve SEO for my store. I want to target specific keywords to be top results in search

Not sure where should I start to find a good expert but also be conscious of budget

I have a lot of blog posts, the url structure of that is:

--The one in sitemap: Blogs/slug

--The real one: blogs/category/slug (the canonical and the redirected to one)

Now the question is, which one should be added to the sitemaps??

Hello! Are Sitemaps helping?
