  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Most of the time when a page shows as “Crawled – currently not indexed” it’s because the Google algorithm believes that the content of the pages won’t add anything to the current results that can be found for the same topics so it holds off on indexing.

    We checked your page and there’s nothing technically incorrect on this preventing it from being indexed. Beyond that, the fact that Google is reporting this as being crawled is an indication that the algorithm has access to the page but it simply decided not to index this.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank your for the prompt response. What steps shall I take add value in the existing article, Please elaborate how can I make changes according to the current google’s guidelines!

    Hello,

    You should improve the overall site quality by systematically removing low-quality pages from the index. Having said that, site quality isn’t something that changes overnight.

    Here’s a link for more information:

    Also, Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors (especially these two) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get crawled/indexed.

    It depends on a lot of factors. Your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of the many factors Google considers when indexing URLs.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Ok I am going to apply the above mentioned changes in my website. Please guide how can I index my deindexed pages as well, as many of my pages are not getting indexed. Is it due Seo plugin or some other settings, as I am very much confused!

    Hello,

    The issue of deindexed pages is not directly related to the SEO plugin but rather how Google evaluates your site as a whole.

    Here are some additional steps you can take to address this issue:

    • Ensure each article provides unique value, detailed insights, and addresses user intent better than competing pages.
    • Link the non-indexed pages from your high-traffic pages. This signals Google that these pages are important and should be indexed.
    • Ensure no “noindex” tags, canonical tags pointing elsewhere, or other technical errors are present on these pages.
    • Regularly update your site with fresh content, improve its overall quality, and enhance user engagement metrics to increase Google’s crawl budget for your site.

    We hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Please explain what do you mean by unique value & detailed insights, As I am posting human written content with proper research but its my pages are not indexed! Furthermore, please guide how can I get them indexed by google, as I didn’t understand point 2 which is link non indexed pages from high traffic pages!

    I didn’t get that!

    Hello,

    The affected post URL is already set to index in the robots meta. The canonical points to itself which is correct and the URL is also mentioned in the sitemap so it all comes down to Google to index your post.

    As we’ve mentioned earlier, Rank Math already sets the proper settings for your page and its up to Google if they index it or now.

    You can also submit the post to Google’s URL inspection tool and forcibly index it there.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    We are glad that helped.

    Can you please confirm if you still need our assistance with anything else or we can close the ticket?

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you.

    Yes please close the ticket. As I have performed every step which you mentioned still my posts are not getting indexed in google. I don’t know how to solve this issue>

    Hello,

    Since the URL is already set to index, then it is just a waiting game before Google decides to include the URL in the search results pages. No SEO plugin can force Google to index something they don’t want to.

    With that said, we have found that barring any issues like copied/DMCA/low-quality content issues. So, we request you kindly wait for the SERP to include your site on search results pages.

    If you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime so we can assist you further.

    Looking forward to helping you.
