Unfairly Filtered by GOOGLE for Company Name and URL
We have a client who’s company name is “Hunt and Hunt Ltd.”. They maintain a pinnacle market position in a very large market niche.
The URL is
www.huntandhunt.com which is parsed by GOOGLE as “hunt hunt” when removing the stop word “and”. The parsed duplication of “hunt” in the URL already seems “spammy” and on top of that the site has nothing to do with “hunting”.
Sure we have a PR4 and are in the second complete Site revision and are getting traffic for targeted keywords relevant to core business, but it is predominantly from YAHOO. I know we are being filtered for the URL issue, because when I do the following GOOGLE Searches, I get the results shown.
“hunt and hunt” – not in the top 1000
“hunt” – not in the top 1000
“hunt ltd” - #17
“hunt and hunt ltd” - #1
I believe we can definitely show that GOOGLE filters on the URL name more than Yahoo. Here are the same searches and YAHOO results:
“hunt and hunt” – #58
“hunt” – #711
“hunt ltd” - #1
“hunt and hunt ltd” - #1
How do I get past this unfair “URL Relevancy Filtering” alg component obviously displayed in the GOOGLE SERPs?
All my other clients enjoy top SERPs for company name without including the company type (Inc., LTD., LLC.) etc.
Because of this unfair GOOGLE Filtering YAHOO continues to deliver better search results (hosting stats) by a margin of 4 to 1 over GOOGLE.
Should I contact GOOGLE about this?, If so how, who, and will they even listen?
Take heed – GOOGLE definitely relies on Domain and File names more than YAHOO!
Please note, I am posting this issue in 2 “webmaster” forums and a 1 top
SEO forum to see what “channel” offers the best help for this kind of issue.
In our opinion this is a critical GOOGLE alg oversight because many relatives go into business and name their companies "surname and same surname". There is even another "Hunt and Hunt" (jewelry store). It looks like every one of them (1000s) especially when last names take on a specific meaning AI (Artificial Intelligence) wise are being filtered. In our opinion this is a serious GOOGLE alg blooper at this time.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
