Hello. I have an issue with indexing pages in Google Search Console. Can you help me? I’m working on a recently launched online store, but most of the pages are not indexed. This has been going on for a while. I requested reindexing, but it says it’s pending. A month has passed, and it still says it’s pending. I tried to figure out what the problem is, but I haven’t been able to speed up the indexing process. In Google Search Console, it shows that the issue is under the section 'Discovered - not indexed.' Can you give me some advice? Thank you.
I like your style of explaining and giving indepth details on various types of navigational and contextual links. However I would like to disagree on your recommendation to not use internal link automation. I see your point where a plugin blind foldedly interlinks but if a plugin uses AI and smart matching, automation of internal link building can be a great boon!
Internal links are essentially free backlinks you can use to your advantage. Just make sure to use contextual long-tail keywords for your internal links. Great Video!
Unbelievable amount of content and valuable information all in one video. I read many articles, watched many videos but none made it as simple as this! Thank you
Does local hosting really affect international rankings on Google, if yes, I found an anomaly that I saw a website that was locally hosted in Singapore but had rankings in America and Australia
Looks very much like a slide deck created by ChatGPT (no depth, just declarations). Nowadays it’s ok, but soon we all be able to smell such content from a mile away, so next time you do this don’t just read from the screen and add something from you (e.g., your own practical examples and screen capture of implementation). But nevertheless thank you for touching this topic. Have you actually done “Adding structure data" (Image Schema Markup) step for your images? Can you explain how to do it ?

I would appreciate more about sub domains and the usefulness of subdomain.domain.tld versus domain.tld/subdomain. I was in hopes that this would be covered on this video as it was about url structure :(
I’m excited but as one who users Wordpress I would rather have a dedicated change on the website. But at the same time I applaud the team for thinking outside the box and great option added to the service. Small business owners that want to do it themselves this will be huge. I’m looking forward to giving it a full go.
I thought this webinar was excellent. I joined outside of work hours as I was honestly really excited about the changes this new optimiser could bring to a process that is notoriously drawn out and was not disappointed. You guys did a great job of hosting. I love the energy and enthusiasm you have for SEO and this shows in the quality of this new system. Q&A and really extensive so I left just wanting to get starting with some sites. Great job guys 🙌
I'm sorry but I'm not a great fan of solutions that make customers "sticky" if I make changes to my website I want them to be permenant and not dependent on how long I remain a customer of HikeSeo. Also I think it would get confusing to see a different page in the backend of the website compared to the front end. I don't feel this feature adds much value. the only time saved is the time it takes to log in to the website and edit a page. but at least that way the edits are permenant and consistent without impacting performance. Sorry to put a dampner on it. I like HikeSEo in general though but won't be using this feature...
Hi there, Andy here - thought I'd drop a reply personally. Thanks for watching the webinar, and for providing feedback. One thing that's really important to get across is that the Onsite Optimizer is completely optional. As a user, you can decide if you want to use it or not, and the platform -- with the existing features you currently use -- are not impacted at all. This is a feature we're providing without additional cost to your subscriptions so that the users who find it useful can use it. I understand that won't be everyone; we really don't expect that as there will still be many users who would rather make the changes manually on their website themselves. But for those who struggle to optimise their websites, struggle with their CMS, struggle with their themes, etc., then this tool provides them with an opportunity to make SEO changes and as a result hopefully grow their small business! Thank you for being a Hike customer and I hope you continue to use and enjoy our wide range of features 😊
@@HikeSEO Hi Andy. Acknowledging both @saint-IT's comment and your response, I can empathise with both points of view. As I watched the recording I, too was wondering about the 'permanence' of changes but as you worked through the Q&A, I started to understand the positioning of the tool so I better understand your response. As an agency user, I'd personally like to see a copy of the CSV file that gets produced if you stop using the Optimiser. (Seeing it will help me feel more confident I can clearly and cleanly terminate a client relationship with a resource that shows them what they would need to do to keep the 'rendered front end' that the search engines are seeing at the time. As opposed to what they would see via the CMS once the client is no longer using Hike). You mentioned agency users would be getting an email with some FAQs so with that in mind, can you consider giving us an example of such a CSV file?
@@colinclapp8292 hey Colin, not a problem, we'll drop you an email with the example. For reference, it's a simple document with two columns: one showing the 'original' copy (i.e., what's in the CMS) and the other showing what was changed to that original copy via the Onsite Optimizer.
