Google not indexing blog articles

Résolue

I seem to have an issue with some of our blog articles being indexed in Google. I have:

 

  • Requested indexing
  • Ensured the site map is submitted 
  • Checked for no indexing tags

Some of the blogs are indexed so I don't think it can be a template issue. Has anyone else experiened this before?

@Alex_Elborn thanks for the additional details - basically, "Discovered - currently not indexed" means that they know your pages exist, have deemed them to be of lesser importance than other requests and they're in a queue to be indexed...

 

I don't have any published documentation about this, but having worked on really large accounts and small accounts - websites with the highest domain authority never have to wait to have their pages indexed, while newer websites tend to take a lot longer (sometimes even months).

 

The good news is that some of your blogs are indexed and there aren't errors, they just haven't gotten to it yet.

@Alex_Elborn how long has it been since you submitted the sitemap and requested indexing?

 

What is the status in Google Search Console? Are there any errors?

Hi @Jnix284 ,

 

It's been at least a week since submitting the sitemap and there's no errors against that. The message I'm getting back from Google is Discovered – currently not indexed. I've looked at their documentation on this and it's not particularly helpful
