Previously we used to get a good number of discussions from our community forum when we search for some topics on Google. But recently, we noticed that we don’t see any results from the community in the search results. We’ve done some re-categorization and closed a bunch of discussions recently. That was the only change.
As of now, when we search for the community on Google, this is the result:
Unsure what we’re doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, in general, if there are any blogs or tutorials around SEO on Discourse communities, please do share. Would love to know how we can improve.
You don’t have to do anything in our years of experience. However, if your site is not well linked on the web it may take a while. See the Google Webmaster Tools for your domain.
Thanks, Jeff. I’m getting the team to look into Google Webmaster Tools. Most likely a Google issue because we really haven’t changed anything on Discourse, other than closing threads and recategorization.
