How to lower your rank in Google

How to make sure you’re not blocking search bots in WordPress.

1. Login to WordPress
2. On the left sidebar there are some menu items
3. Find and click on “Settings”
4. On the Settings page find “Search Engine Visibility”
5. Make sure it is NOT checked

Website tools:

• Yoast SEO
• Broken Link Checker
• 301 redirect WordPress plugin – Redirect old internal links to new ones to maintain rank
• Google Search Console (formerly called Webmaster Tools) to monitor your website’s health and be alerted if anything is wrong

Note: AJAX is ok if it’s loading a list of truncated articles that point to full articles.
