Single page TXP site not in Google index ...

Hello,

I don’t understand why this TXP site jardins-abords.be, made many months ago was never referenced in Google ?
Any advice by TXP SEO guru ? Thanks !

It comes up in google for me when I search “site:jardins-abords.be”

Google Webmaster Tools can provide information about what your site “looks like” to google.

I’m not seeing any obvious errors when running it through SEO tools (though there are some improvements you could make).

Have you actually submitted the site for indexing to Google? They won’t just find it without prompting. Also, set up Google Webmaster Tools and at the very least submit a sitemap.xml file through that.

Why you have <html lang="en"> and not “fr”?

Re: Single page TXP site not in Google index ...

Thanks for your answers !
Just before creating this thread, I insert the site in the Google Webmaster tools …
It seems that this was the solution … Before, site:jardins-abords.be” give me 0 pages !

I’l try to improve with the SEO tools, thanks again !

BTW, difficult to use the forum since the upgrade as I don’t get any mail for the topics where I’m subscribed …

You should get inbound links without rel="nofollow" from similar websites to improve visibility in Google’s search results.

Re: Single page TXP site not in Google index ...

There are also lots of other things you can do to improve your visibility, off the top of my head:

  1. Open Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ pages for your site/company and make sure they link back and forth to/from your site.
  2. If your site has a physical street address, create a Google Places profile for it.
  3. Use microdata as much as possible, and check the results with Google Structured Data Testing Tool to see what Google actually interprets from your content.
  4. Run the site’s pages through the SEO tools I mentioned previously.

The same for me. I reported this more than a year ago, no solution.
