Indexing >100 pages into google console

[ready2Lease]

Hi All, I run a car leasing broker and have done for around 2.5 years, myself and a new business partner went full time in April.
I have a sitemap and a good number of pages indexed, specifically manufacturer pages (Audi, BMW, etc.) but the model pages thereafter are not in the sitemap provided by the developers who provide my web platform and have only just had custom titles & meta descriptions added.

I want to get them all indexed as I am in desperate need of more organic enquiries, but google console only allows about 10 per day. Is there a way I can accelerate this?

I had thought if i create one page with a link to every single model page, i could index that and Google would follow each link and index it organically, or is that nonsense?

Many thanks,
SEO Amateur

If your internal navigation and menus link to the pages you want indexing Google will follow those links and index the pages. It will then decide if those pages are worth ranking. And then decide if they are to rank higher than the thousands of other car leasing sites.

Looking at your site I doubt you will ever get many organic enquiries. It’s no different to all the established leasing sites so there is no incentive for Google to give you a boost.

 

[ready2Lease]

We get approx. 1 organic lead per day, sometimes less at quieter times of the year. I have been adding content consistently over the last few months to enhance the website and give Google a reason to give us a boost.

Would i be correct in saying that the lack of a page title and meta description is potentially the reason that these models pages have not been indexed in the past?

 

[fisicx]

No, the problem is Google doesn’t know the pages exist. Or they have been indexed but not ranked because Google doesn’t think they add any value.

The page title is a key ranking signal but it’s the content on the page that gives you the lift. You don’t have anything on your site that all the other leasing companies already have.

There are lots of things you could do to help your ranking but you would need a lot of rework to the site for this to happen.

Do you add all the vehicles yourself or is this some sort of feed?

When i check the pages on google console it says they are not indexed, which i dont understand as the manufacturer page IS indexed, so surely it would see the links to models and index them?

You mentioned i dont have anything the others dont have, but what i do have is the original content i am creating on make and model pages.

The site cannot be totally overhauled, the front and backend is a broker package besopke to our industry.

the vehicle we add are normally under "cars in stock" or special offers. Many of the wider rates come from funder feeds.

Google does what Google does. Maybe the robots indexed the brand pages and decided its not worth doing any more because it's the same feed as everyone else.

Maybe you are. But the content I see describes the brand/model. Google is expecting to see content relating to vehicle leasing.

Which means you are unlikely to ever improve on your current situation.

Many of the wider rates come from funder feeds.

And that's why you will struggle. You are the same as everyone else using the same platform.

And the site is horribly slow. Google really doesn't like slow sites. Your performance score is 28/100. Google expects scores of 90+

Speed is a major issue i have highlighted many times, but cannot see any obvious ways to increase it through the provider.
Would it be worth me investing in a CDN? I dont know much about it or if its expensive but would that be likely to make a considerable difference?

 

[fisicx]

You are already using a CDN. It's slow because of the really awful feed. Nothing you can do is going to make this any faster.

Even when it does finally load the UI/UX isn't very good. People will be using a phone. This is a site built for desktops and adapted for phones. You should be taking a mobile first approach to everything.

However, this is a separate issue to your main question. Forget Google. Unless you can take full control of the site and listing you aren't going to rank well for anything useful. Your marketing needs to find a different way to get the cars in front of potential clients.

The feed into the backend is fixed, i dont think the site loads the entire feed everytime someone visits? we have >100k individual deals loaded.

Have you got the correct version of your site in search console?

 

[Paul Carmen]

Are they all indexable; e.g. 'noindex' not set, are they all in the sitemap, are they linked from the menu and plenty of other pages; e.g. already indexed category/hub type pages? If so Google should crawl the sitemap a couple of times a week and then index them.

If the above is in place, is the copy unique? I don't just mean the metas/titles, the page text needs to add value and not be a close duplication of other pages, if it's not Google may not index all these pages.

The other thing to keep in mind is even if Google indexes all of them, unless the content and your SEO processes rank the pages for relevant keywords on page 1 of Google, they will not generate organic leads as no one will see them.

You're working in a competitive industry, it needs proper competitor, customer and keyword research, and then well produced copy and site pages to generate rankings and leads.

Do some testing. Check the waterfall on a speed tester and see if external scripts and files are being pulled.
