Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your educational website and the indexing errors in Google Search Console (GSC). Thank you for providing the details about your situation.
To address the indexing issues, here are some steps you can take:
-
Check the Errors in GSC: Start by identifying the specific errors listed in GSC. Common issues include "Crawled – currently not indexed" or "Not Found (404)". You can find these under the Coverage section in GSC.
- For example, if you see "Crawled – currently not indexed", it may indicate that Google has crawled the page but hasn’t indexed it yet due to quality issues or duplication.
- If there are strings in front of a URL, it could be related to how the URLs are structured or submitted.
-
Validate Indexing Fixes: After addressing any identified issues, you can validate the fixes in GSC. Navigate to the Pages section, find the specific error, and click on the VALIDATE FIX button. This will notify Google to re-evaluate the pages.
-
Ensure Unique and Valuable Content: Make sure that your content is unique, valuable, and comprehensive. Google may not index pages that it deems to have low-quality or duplicate content.
-
Submit Your Sitemap: Since you are now using Rank Math, ensure that your sitemap is correctly submitted. Rank Math automatically generates a sitemap for you, which can be found at
https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml. Make sure this is submitted in GSC. -
Check for Canonical Tags: If you have similar content across multiple pages, ensure that you are using canonical tags correctly to indicate the preferred version of a page to Google.
