How to get Google to link to posts directly instead of homepage?

I have my homepage set up to display my posts in full.

Problem is, google crawls and indexes the home page and then links to it. Eg: my.blog/page/2

As I make new posts, the relevant post moves further down the page list, and the link goes stale.

How can I get Google to link to the article itself and not the homepage?

Thanks!

Can you send us an email with a link to your site and I'll investigate the specifics of your template and the search terms you're concerned about

Done thank you 🙂

We made some changes to your template to help mitigate this.

I replaced the <h1> tags on the index page with <h2> tags containing links to the permalink page for each post. I also added a <h1> tag around the site title on the index page. This should make it clear to Google's robots what is the title of each page.
