Hi @derekmaccuish,
Thanks for reaching out! We’re not SEO experts, so not sure we can be of good help here. Anyway, I’ve taken a look and this is what I see. If I do a search for: "Julia Israel" site:upstreamjournal.org, I do get the article “Thanks for reaching out! We’re not SEO experts, so not sure we can be of good help here. Anyway, I’ve taken a look and this is what I see. If I do a search for: "Julia Israel" site:upstreamjournal.org, I do get the article “Coming out as an LGBTQ+ refugee in Canada”, written by her. However, if I type "Chloe Friedland" site:upstreamjournal.org I don’t get his article “Have a cuppa, and spare a thought for tea workers”
Why is that? Well, honestly, I cannot say, but I’d say it is not related to our plugin. I see it is adding the author meta tag to your HTML’s <head>, so I’d say that’s all the plugin can do so far.
If you search for post title, you get confusing results too. For instance, do a search for "Have a cuppa, and spare a thought for tea workers" site:upstreamjournal.org and you will see how the post is not listed in search results. However, if you do a search for another guest post like this "Coming out as an LGBTQ+ refugee in Canada" site:upstreamjournal.org the post is there, first (and only) result.
Again, no SEO experts here, but maybe your site needs to be indexed again by Google? If you know how to do that, I’d give it a try.
Sorry we couldn’t help you with this. However, if you do think it is something about our plugin and want us to look into it, please feel free to reopen this ticket letting us know where we should start looking.
If anything, we’re here for you.
