Hello,
Thank you for contacting us about the Google Search Console “Crawled, Currently Not Indexed” status report you received.
Google does not reveal the reasons why they did not index a page which makes solving the problem frustrating. Fortunately, you can refer to the following guide to troubleshoot solutions for the problem. Crawled — Currently Not Indexed: A Coverage Status Guide
I hope that helps. If you have questions, let us know. We are here to help.
Hi,
As I wrote, Google said the status is “Excluded,” which means that they think I don’t want them to index these pages. This is the reason they have given.
From my research, this will happen with page duplicates that authors do not want indexed (that is not the case for me, these are not duplicates) or if there is a “no-index” directive and/or robots.txt directive somewhere. I went back and checked each post and they all have the “index” box checked.
I would like to know if there are any directives like this that I’m not aware of – I couldn’t find any and have no explanation for why Google thinks I’m asking it not to index these pages. Please help!
Hello,
Can you please share the affected URL with us so we can further check it on our end?
Looking forward to helping you with this one.
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks. Here is an example of one of the pages not indexed:
https://mykitchentoolkit.com/best-electric-knives/
Keep in mind though this is only one of about 20 that haven’t been indexed. Thanks for the help.
Hello,
I’ve checked the URL, and it seems that it is already included in your sitemap. Please verify the other 20 pages you are referring to if they are already showing in your sitemap.
If some of them are not included, here’s a link on why a URL is excluded from your sitemap:

Once done, remove all your submitted sitemaps in your Google Search Console account and resubmit your main sitemap /sitemap_index.xml, then give Google some time to recrawl your site.
I hope that helps.
Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
