Using the Preferred Landing Page feature allows you to determine whether the intended page is ranking in search results.
What is the "Preferred Landing Page"?
Table of Contents
After logging in to Nobilista, click "Preferred Landing Page" in the sidebar to access the Preferred URL Settings page.
From the drop-down menu at the top, select the website for which you want to set a preferred URL.
The keywords registered for the selected website will then be displayed below, so you can set a preferred URL for any keyword.
There are three main ways to set a preferred URL.
The first is to set it keyword by keyword.
Click the gear icon in the "Settings" column for each keyword.
A modal for setting the preferred URL will then appear.
Enter the preferred URL in the input form in the modal and click "Save" if there are no problems.
This completes the preferred URL setting.
The second method is to set a priority URL for multiple keywords at once.
Check the boxes for the keywords you want to set a priority URL for all at once.
The "Bulk PLP setting" button will then become operational.
Click the button and enter the priority URLs you want to set for the selected keywords all at once.
If there are no problems, click "Save".
This completes the bulk setting of preferred URLs.
The third method is to upload CSV data.
The above two methods involve setting preferred URLs directly on the Nobilista screen, but this method allows you to upload in bulk using CSV data.
This method is recommended when setting preferred URLs for more than 1,000 keywords.
First, download the original CSV data.
Click the "here" part of the message "Please download the original data from here." to download the original data.
Expand the downloaded data and enter the relevant URL in the "PLP" column.
(If you're using Excel, we recommend using a function such as Vlookup to enter the data all at once.)
Once your CSV data is complete, upload it using the "CSV Upload" button.
Once the upload is complete, it will automatically appear in the list below.
*CSV uploading is the same as overwriting data.
Just to be sure, please double-check that the priority URL for each keyword is entered correctly.
Check whether the URLs you set on the Preferred URL Settings page are properly ranking in search results.
First, access the Keyword Report for the website you want to check.
Check the "Preferred URL" column to see if the URLs you set are ranking.
The icons displayed in the Preferred URL column and their conditions are as follows:
| Whether or not a preferred URL is set | Conditions | Display icon |
|---|---|---|
| Preferred URL is set | If the page containing the entered URL string is displayed at the top of the results list *1 | |
| If the page containing the URL you entered is not displayed at the top of the results list *1 *2 | ||
| Other than the above | - |
*1 If you enter "example.com/xxx/" as the preferred URL, pages that include example.com/xxx/ in the URL, such as "example.com/xxx/●●●/" or "example.com/xxx/▲▲▲.php", will be targeted.
*2 If you enter "example.com/xxx/" as the preferred URL, this will be displayed even if pages that do not include example.com/xxx/ in the URL, such as "example.com/●●●/" or "example.com/▲▲▲.php", are ranked higher.
You can also sort the preferred URL column by clicking the "v" next to the header row.
For example, prioritizing keywords marked with "X" will make it easier to investigate which pages need improvement.
If the URL you've set as your preferred URL isn't ranking in search results, it's possible that a page targeting the same keywords exists and is being ranked higher by Google (duplicate content).
You must take one of the following actions to prevent pages other than your preferred URL from being ranked higher for the keywords in question.
However, you should carefully consider which of the above measures to take.
If you're unsure which measure to take, we recommend consulting a professional.
