SEO Expert Needed to Resolve Indexing and Canonicalization Issues
Budget: ₹1,100 – ₹2,000 INR
I am looking for an experienced SEO specialist to help resolve some persistent indexing and canonicalization issues on my website, https://froker.in/. Recently, I changed the blog URL structure from ID-based to title-based URLs, and since then, I have encountered several issues that I haven't been able to resolve on my own.
Here are the specific issues:
Soft 404 Errors: In Google Search Console, many of my blog URLs show a “Page cannot be indexed: Soft 404” error. When I run a live test, I get “URL is not available to Google.”
Canonical Tag Conflicts: Google is defaulting to older indexed blog URLs as the canonical, rather than my newly declared URLs. In Google Search Console, I’m seeing errors like “Duplicate without user-selected canonical” and “Alternate page with proper canonical tag.”
Actions I’ve Already Taken:
Verified that all canonical tags are correctly set in the HTML, as confirmed by inspection in the browser.
Conducted a full website audit using Ahrefs, which found no canonical issues.
Manually requested indexing for affected pages, but indexing has not improved.
What I’m Looking For:
I need an SEO expert with specific experience in solving indexing issues and canonicalization conflicts, particularly following a URL structure change. Your goal will be to identify and fix any underlying issues preventing my pages from indexing correctly.
Skills Required:
Expertise in Google Search Console and Google’s indexing protocols
Strong knowledge of canonical tags, soft 404s, and URL structure management
Proven record of resolving similar SEO issues for other clients
If you have experience in resolving these types of SEO issues and are available for a consultation or hands-on help, please apply with examples of similar cases you've successfully handled.
