I’m not exactly sure what you mean by panels? Do you mean the individual entries on the page?

Google is going to look at the page title of the individual page and indexes that page’s content to that page. The Connections entries are marked using the hCard micro data which helps Google better parse the page contents.

From what I can tell, everything is working just fine…

For example this search finds roaster where it exists on both pages on your site:
site:http://cuptaste.com/ Barosaa Coffee Roasters

When I check for the hCard micro data using Google’s testing tool, it is finding all the roaster correctly:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fcuptaste.com%2Fcoffee-roasters%2Fsouth-australian-coffee-roasters%2F

If I search for just “Barosaa Coffee Roasters” Google returns over 13,000 results for me … so your site could be anywhere in that result set as the order is determined by Google.

If you would like individual entries to be index, possibly, better by Google, you could enable the Name link option under the Advanced tab on the Connections : Settings admin page.

If you do that, then I highly recommend tweaking your setup since you’re using Connections on multiple pages filtered by category. I suggest creating a “Results” page and setting that as the directory home page. This would help prevent the possibility that Google might lower your site rank due to duplicate content.

Will this improve your Google site ranks in the Google search ranking, honestly, only Google knows.

Hope that helps!
