We wanted to make it a bit easier, so we put together this handy set of tips about google-analytics, google-search-console, google-search, to guide you along the way. Read the discuss below, we share some tips to fix the issue about Mix up of two domains in search result.Problem :

I would like to know why my two domains are mixed up in the search result. The two domains are https://vym.io and https://remotebase.io.

When I search 'remotebase', I see the title, and description of remotebase.io in the result, but it links to vym.io.

This is very strange because nowhere in the codebase of vym.io can I find any mention about remotebase. I also did a global search for 'vym' in remotebase.io's code and could not find anything.

In the Google Wwebmasters Tool's Search Analytics page for vym.io, I see all kinds of keywords related to remotebase.io but has nothing to do with vym.io. Also, in Google Analytics for RemoteBase, I can see links to vym.io showing up in the referrals.

Thing I have tried:

1. Three days ago, I removed DNS settings for vym.io so that it does not resolve. This did not work and I restored the DNS.


2. I compared <meta name="google-site-verification" ...> tag for both websites, and they are using different keys.

Additional info:

• The websites are associated with different properties on google analytics.

I am out of ideas and this is very frustrating. Please help.

Edit

When I google site:vym.io, I get all the pages that belong to remotebase.io.

But when I click on them I go to vym.io and there is nothing on the page because the routes belong to remotebase.io.

Edit 2

These are nginx configs for each websites, hosted on separate servers.

remotebase.conf

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade 
  default upgrade;
  ''  close;


server 
  listen 80;

  server_name remotebase.io;
  return 301 https://remotebase.io$request_uri;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/remotebase-access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/remoteabse-error.log;

  location / {
    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:3000;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
  }

  server_name www.remotebase.io;
  return 301 $scheme://remotebase.io$request_uri;

vym.conf

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade 
    default upgrade;
    ''  close;


server 
    listen 80;

    server_name vym.io;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/vym.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/vym.error.log;

    location / {
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:5001;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    }

  server_name www.vym.io;
  return 301 $scheme://vym.io$request_uri;

Solution :

Although I still do not know why it happened, I resolved the issue by moving remotebase.io to a new server. It took around 24 hours for the change to take affect.

I also removed vym.io from Google using webmaster tools. I do not know for sure if doing so helped at all.

If the issue about google-analytics, google-search-console, google-search, is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
