About Project
I run a Discord Server Listing website.
The whole point is where people can come and search for discord servers related to what they like on
https://www.bumpy.gg/search/

Problem
But the way we have our search system, is where it doesn't reload the page when searching up a specific tag.
But instead updates the page with the information and changes url to end with the searched up tags url

So does google count the search as a visit to https://www.bumpy.gg/search/anime or since it doesn't reload page, does it count the visit to only https://www.bumpy.gg/search/

I'm worried that because it doesn't reload the page, that the visit is only getting counted towards the original search page.
Which would prevent the specific tag searched from ranking higher on google​

My opinion from taking a quick look and not knowing too much about your infrastructure.

Taking a look at the networking tab, we are never sent to https://www.bumpy.gg/search/(TERM)
We are sent to /api/guild/search?data= through your javascript class however but as you've never redirected the page to /search/(term) or even requested a copy of the page, the page is never loaded and in turn, you aren't actually getting any traffic to that URL. You're using JavaScript to go straight to your API and bypassing that /search/(TERM).

Due to this, the search isn't being counted at all. You're not refreshing the page so it's not a person loading the page, it's the exact same page that you're then modifying to include more data through javascript. This does not count as the page loading again. I'm uncertain if it would count for the /api/guild/search?data= due to this being a get request through javascript. I believe it has to be the USER loading the page and not through javascript.

Your search system could prevent sub-pages from ranking higher on Google, but it's difficult to say without more information. Factors affecting search engine rankings include website structure, content quality, and backlinks. It's worth conducting an SEO audit to see if any technical issues impact your rankings. Additionally, you could consider contacting an SEO provider like vikinglinks.com for help improving your website's search engine visibility. Best of luck with your SEO efforts!

This isn't what they asked?
They know how to improve SEO they were just wondering whether or not what they were currently doing was already improving it and whether or not they would have to change something in order to get said boost.
