Here's a breakdown of what happened with our interactions with DCC over the two months:

Someone mentioned that it's possibly an issue with duplicate content. We found one of the issues that linked two dealerships (Volvo and Kia) that have completely different content. They do share the same URL structure, but the meta looks different between both URLs.

DDC has said that "Some specific pages seem to be recurring - dealership, financing, sitemap, blog, global incentives, etc." " in Google Search Console for the affected sites/pages we're seeing: "Google chose different canonical than user = This URL is marked as canonical for a set of pages, but Google thinks another URL makes a better canonical."

DDC says they made the changes " including adjustments to our robots.txt file to disallow the crawling of certain pages (like VDP print pages), and to no index things like blog/authors/, privacy.htm, among others."

DC rep says it is a Google Caching issue
