One response to “Indexing issues, google search console not indexing site (crawled, not indexed)”

1. It looks like you’re experiencing indexing issues with your site in Google Search Console. This can be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:

   1. **Check for Errors**: Look for any errors or warnings in the Coverage report in Google Search Console. These may provide clues as to why your pages are not being indexed.

   2. **Sitemap Submission**: Ensure that you’ve submitted an up-to-date XML sitemap to Google Search Console. This sitemap should include all pages you want indexed.

   3. **Robots.txt**: Verify your robots.txt file to ensure it isn’t blocking Google from crawling important pages. You can test the robots.txt file in Google Search Console.

   4. **Noindex Tags**: Make sure you haven’t accidentally set any `noindex` meta tags on the pages you want indexed.

   5. **Crawl Budget**: If your site has a large number of pages, Google might not be indexing all of them due to crawl budget limitations. Ensure your most important pages are prioritized.

   6. **Content Quality**: Google tends to prioritize high-quality, unique content. Ensure your content is not thin or duplicate.

   7. **Internal Linking**: Strengthen internal links to help Google discover and prioritize your pages.

   8. **Manual Actions**: Check for any manual actions placed on your site. These can be found in the Manual Actions report in Google Search Console.

   9. **Fetch as Google**: Try using the URL Inspection tool to request indexing. This can sometimes speed up the process for individual pages.

   10. **Patience**: Sometimes indexing can be delayed for reasons beyond our control, and it might just take a bit of time.

   If the issue persists, consider referring to Google’s documentation or forums for more guidance, or reaching out to a professional SEO expert for assistance.
