    Heello,

    Sir, none of the web stories I created on August 1 and after that are indexed. I have submitted them to the search console many times, but still, it did not happen and I also use the Instant Indexing Plugin. All the web stories I uploaded before August 1 were indexed and traffic also came, but now not even a single one is getting indexed. I have been struggling with this problem for a long time, please help me.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the indexing of your web stories. It can be frustrating when content does not get indexed as expected.

    Since you mentioned that you have already submitted them to the Search Console and are using the Instant Indexing Plugin, here are a few things you might want to check:

    1. Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking Google from crawling your web stories. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.

    2. Search Engine Visibility: Check if the Search engine visibility option is unchecked in your WordPress settings. Navigate to Settings → Reading in your WordPress admin dashboard and ensure that this option is not checked.
      Search engine visibility test from settings

    3. Quality of Content: Make sure that the content of your web stories meets Google’s quality guidelines. If there are issues with the content, it may affect indexing.

    4. Crawl Budget: Sometimes, Google assigns a crawl budget based on various factors, including domain authority and posting frequency. If your site has a low crawl budget, it may take longer for new content to be indexed.

    5. Manual Indexing Request: If you have checked all of the above and still face issues, consider submitting a manual indexing request to Google.

    If you continue to experience problems, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!

    Hello,

    When you ran the URLs through the Google Search Console URL inspection tool what issues were mentioned? The tool should let you know if there are any issues on the URL that prevent them from getting indexed.

    We have provided some guides you can follow to ensure your website keeps showing up on Google search results: https://rankmath.com/kb/google-index/

    These are the 4 URLs, but apart from these there are many more which are not being indexed. Whatever has been uploaded after August 1 has not been indexed.

    Hello,

    We checked each web story and they seem to be configured correctly for Google to discover and index it on the SERP:

    1. The robots meta is set to index:
    Rank Math support

    2. The Canonical URL is correct.

    3. The web story page was mentioned in the sitemap:
    Rank Math support

    From your screenshots, the web stories passed the validations and there shouldn’t be an issue for Google to index it yet they choose not to.

    Please flush your sitemap caches and try submitting the sitemaps to your GSC again and click on the “REQUEST INDEXING” after conducting the URL inspection to force Google to index the page.

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    We’ve checked your web stories URLs, and they are already set to index. Your sitemaps and robots.txt are also working fine.

    Please note that 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 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 some new URLs.

    If Google still doesn’t decide to index those pages even after crawling your site again, then there is nothing you can do other than wait.

    Here’s a link for more information:
    https://www.searchenginejournal.com/definitive-list-reasons-google-isnt-indexing-site/118245/

    Since your website 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. You may check this section in your GSC for that:
    https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9044175?hl=en

    If there are no manual actions imposed on your site, we request you kindly wait for the SERP to include your site on search results pages.

    Looking forward to helping you.
