When I type my name in Google, I notice my website is showing amongst the top results.
However, I cannot find any of my pages/articles back in Google.
Example: I have written about several soccer/football games I visited, the names of the teams involved are part of the URL of those pages.
Still, when I type the name of a team I wrote about in Google, my article isn’t showing in the search results.
Is there anything I could do to increase my chances of Google showing my articles in the results? Can I point my site to Google so that it indexes the whole website?
One thing I was wondering… I could replace all static pages by blog posts, and then in the menu list all articles per subject with hyperlinks to the corresponding blog posts. In other words, one blog post per article instead of one page per article. This would be a lot of work, but the one reason I was thinking about this is that in blog posts you can add tags for search engines to find your articles/posts easily.
Would it make a difference for me to do this, or is there a way for my static pages to show in search engine results too?
Any idea why this is, and why these show up as “Search Engine Terms” for my site? Here are some examples:

]]>My website is:
https://www.letscando.com/
I am using the “all in one seo” plugin, and it has worked well to date, especially for adding meta descriptions and optimising page titles.
I would like to stop google (and other search engines) indexing the below pages on my website, as I don’t want them to appear in the search engines.
For this, I went to each individual page and ticked the arrow next to “Robots Meta NOINDEX”.
However, several weeks on (I had thought originally that clicking this button would take a while to be updated in the search engines), the pages are still being indexed.
Do you have any advice?
How can I stop all of the below pages from appearing in search engine results?
Many thanks

]]>There you’ll see not only the name and description of the site but 6 subcategories listed including “LA Central Target”, “Careers”, “Gift Registry”, “Weekly Ad”, “Find a Store” and “Clothes”
What settings do I need to adjust in the Yoast SEO plugin that will display categories of my site? Currently I am only getting it to display the site name and description.
Thank you!

]]>I have tried several SEO plugins, to no avail and quite honestly do not know what to do. I just want the main page to show in search engine results, not every page.
Help?
]]>I have successfully got a new WordPress site running on an existing domain that previously had an old HTML website. Everything is running fine with the new site. The old site is GONE.
In the domain’s search engine results, the OLD information about the site is displayed, but clicking on the old information takes you to the new site. It’s got text in the results that does not appear on the new site.
I’ve set up plugins to aid with SEO. I’ve submitted sitemaps. But is there some additional way I can help to “encourage” the search engines to start displaying the correct new information for my site?
I noticed this problem when I wanted to post my new site to Facebook. The website title and descriptive text that came up were being pulled from the old site! But again, as I said, clicking on the link takes you to the new site just fine.
I just think it looks bad to have all that old info in the results and in Facebook posts.
How soon can I expect that this information will change? Is there anything I can do to speed the process up?
Thank you!
]]>Sometimes they are sent to a specific post (which is good), other times they’re sent to a page or category listing that contains the relevant post (which is less useful because the post that’s relevant to their search can be at the bottom of the page).
Is there something I can be doing when I create my posts to help the search engine spiders index them better, so people arrive at the right place for the information they searched for?
(I realise this may be a very general question about SEO, which I don’t understand at all, but if there are any useful sites you could point me to for more information, that would be helpful.)
]]>as of now it is coming up as “Criminal Defense and DUI Attorney….”
I do not have an SEO plug in.
