Project overview

The Travel Psychologist (Mental health & travel blog, UK) came to us because their website was not appearing in Google search results at all.

The challenge

The site was live but missing from Google. Without being indexed, no amount of content or design could bring in organic visitors.

Objectives

Find out why Google was not indexing the website.
Fix the technical blockers.
Get the important pages indexed and monitored in Search Console.

Strategy

A technical audit of how Google sees the site: Search Console coverage reports, robots.txt, meta robots and noindex settings, canonical tags, XML sitemap, redirects and internal linking.

Design

Development

Corrected indexing directives, rebuilt and resubmitted the XML sitemap, fixed crawl and canonical issues, strengthened internal links to key pages and requested indexing in Google Search Console.

SEO & marketing

Search Console property verified and monitored so new indexing errors are caught early.

The solution

A website Google can crawl and index properly, with a clean sitemap and a Search Console setup the owner can keep an eye on.
