Thanks @yashodipmore! I'd be interested in knowing, before or as you're working on this task, what the potential ways of addressing this could be (e.g. do we need more semantic markup of our navigation, do we need a sitemap xml, do we need to do something in the Google webmaster tools settings, etc.) Keep us updated in the comments here as you look into it!
