A few months ago I redesigned my website from a Wordpress installation on a hostgator shared server, to a smugmug hosted website.
It seems that, despite the new website having much more information and tags (pages and galleries and photos themselves have descriptions and keywords), it's next to impossible to find pages on google. In fact, it's probably a bit easier to find a google result for one of the old, now non-existent pages from the previous version of the website.
I suspect I'm being penalised by google in some way in terms of how the move happened. Looking in search console I've got a bunch of "Indexed, blocked by robots.txt" results that started when I moved to SmugMug. I'm wondering if perhaps smugmugs robots.txt is blocking google from accessing the old wordpress pages.
This is just scratching the surface, but I was wondering if anyone is savvy with this stuff who could give me some pointers. I've tried doing search result removal requests for the pages that are blocked by robots.txt. SmugMug seem pretty pants when I have emailed them and asked why their SEO friendly platform is performing so poorly.
