ianholmes Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Site URL: https://notaweddingphotographer.eu/ Hi all, I'm having trouble getting my new website onto google. For some reason the sitemap cannot be read and the pages aren't getting indexed. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? My site and the domain name are both through Squarespace. Thanks in advance!

ianholmes Posted November 19 Author Posted November 19 Hi Ziggy, yes, I have. It seems the main homepage is indexed but for the other pages it's giving the errors (see attached).
Ziggy Posted November 19 Posted November 19 It's quite normal to have "pages with redirects" and "duplicate, different canonical" pages. For example; your homepage is at two URLs notaweddingphotographer.eu/ and notaweddingphotographer.eu/home so you don't want Google indexing both.

ianholmes Posted November 19 Author Posted November 19 Thanks. So should I submit one of these for URL removal? Which one is Google choosing? I can't see any additional info on that. At the moment there's only a single page of my site being indexed despite there being five pages. Ziggy 1

No, Google is already doing this, you can check by looking at the pages listed as not indexed under reasons. 19 minutes ago, ianholmes said: At the moment there's only a single page of my site being indexed despite there being five pages. Try removing those sitemaps that aren't correct and submit again with this URL: https://notaweddingphotographer.eu/sitemap.xml Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!
