I optimized a page on my website, it's site title, description and url.
I appear for this page on google however it's the homepage that ranks and not the page i optimized.
How do I fix this?
 
Google seems unpredictable. Pages I optimized for don't rank, yet random pages I didn't optimize for specific keywords do.
 
There is something wrong with Google nowadays due to Florida update.

The big thing I just noticed on my Google webmaster console, is they are ranking for "Canonical" rather than keywords. I totally don't get it. It appears I am still ranking for my usual keywords, but it's not showing on my webmaster console. Makes it hard to interpret, since people still use keywords.

I also notice, lots of You Tube on the top of the searches, not websites. Amazon too sometimes. So it looks like Google mightbe favoring the "Big Tech" links, not our websites.

That'd be tragic.

My situation hasn't changed. I have optimized pages for plumbing repair. Yet when you type in the targeted keyword, the homepage ranks and just says the site name.
I tried to change the site name, but I assume you have to wait for google to recrawl your website?

How can I have google recrawl this rather quickly?
