Getting Indexed Fast: How I Used Python to Solve an SEO Problem

-

 In the world of SEO, getting your web pages indexed by Google is crucial for visibility. I recently faced a challenge: a page was discovered by Google but wasn't showing up in searches. So, I decided to use a tool called the Google Search Console API along with Python, a programming language, to fix this issue.

Understanding the Problem:

  1. Explaining the issue: Google knew about the page but wasn't showing it in search results.
  2. Why indexing matters: Having pages show up in search results is important for getting traffic to your website.


Using the Google Search Console API:

  1. What the API does: It's a tool that helps us communicate with Google's systems.
  2. Making a Python script: I created a small program in Python to talk to the Google API.
  3. Finding the problem pages: The script helped me find the pages that Google knew about but wasn't showing in searches.


Getting Instant Results:

  1. Running the Python script: I ran the program and saw immediate changes.
  2. Seeing the difference: I took screenshots to show how the problem pages were fixed right after running the script.


Lessons Learned:

  1. What I learned: Using tools like the Google Search Console API and Python can help solve SEO problems quickly.
  2. Why automation is useful: Automating tasks can make SEO work faster and easier.
  3. What's next: Exploring other ways to use these tools to improve website visibility.

Conclusion:

Using Python and the Google Search Console API, I was able to quickly solve an indexing problem and get my web pages showing up in Google searches. This experience taught me the power of automation in SEO and opened up new possibilities for improving website visibility.

These issues included: Keyword cannibalization : The same keyword "Silk Sarees" was targeted on multiple pages on the site, which was...
