Hey Webflow.
My website that I made for a client loads quite slowly. Due to this their old one-page website ranks higher on SEO and appears above mine on search results.
This makes me look unprofessional as technically their old website pulls more traffic.
Do you have any recommendations on how I can solve this issue?
Thanks Webflow!
hi @benej03 firstly if you asking for help with live website please follow forum rules and share live page link.
When it comes to ranking I do not see anything unusual that the old website ranks above yours. Very simply said the old website have already generated higher traffic and is known to crawlers compare new one and that is why Google search recognise it as more important than new one and rank it higher. It just needs time.
When posting please:
Required: Share your project’s Read-Only link and live site’s Published link
The read-only link is a special URL generated in the Dashboard to allow others to view your project in the Webflow Designer. How to get your project’s read-only link?
The published link is the webflow.io subdomain where you can view the live site with custom code running. It is IMPORTANT to share this link, as custom code (eg. javaScript) does not run in the Designer.
Describe issue in detail including what page, section and/or element is localized
Upload as many screenshots as possible or provide screencast videos to help others help you faster
Add a description and/or post a link to a working example of what you’re trying to achieve
