      Hello, Smart People!
      We need help solving the problem with Google indexing.
      All pages of our website are crawled and indexed. All pages, including those mentioned, meet Google requirements and can be indexed. However, only this page is still not indexed.
      Robots.txt is not blocking it.
      We do not have a tag "nofollow"
      We have it in the sitemap file.
      We have internal links for this page from indexed pages.
      We requested indexing many times, and it is still grey.
      The page was established one year ago.
      We are open to any suggestions or guidance you may have. What else can we do to expedite the indexing process?

        Hi, we had a problem, indexing a new post, through Google Search Console, but we believe that's because they been rolling out an Google update this week, we tried this morning, and it worked, a new blog post for our website design business got indexed. so, it could be because of an algorithm update rolling out?

          I launched a website about two months ago that got indexed right away. However, after 25 to 30 days, when I checked again, it was de-indexed, but then it got indexed again.

          After that, the website's position in the search engine results page (SERP) was fluctuating. Can someone tell me what the issue might be?

              If a particular page cannot be indexed by Google, it could be due to several reasons:

              1. Noindex Tag: The page may have a noindex meta tag, instructing search engines not to index it.
              2. Robots.txt Block: The page might be blocked from crawling in the robots.txt file, preventing Google from accessing it.
              3. Lack of Quality Content: Thin or duplicate content may cause Google to avoid indexing the page.
              4. Technical Issues: Broken links, server errors, or incorrect canonical tags can also prevent indexing.
              5. Manual Actions: Google might have applied a manual action if the page violates their guidelines.

              Addressing these issues can help the page get indexed properly.

                If your page cannot be indexed by Google, it could be due to several reasons. Make sure the page isn’t blocked by robots.txt, that it has a valid noindex tag, or that it's not set to 'noindex' in your CMS. Also, check for any crawl errors in Google Search Console.

                By the way, while you're troubleshooting, you can use tools like this website to keep track of your tasks or deadlines. Hope this helps!

                  This page cannot be indexed by Google, potentially affecting its search visibility. To enhance your site’s SEO, consider leveraging [WordPress plugins] or other tools to ensure your content is fully accessible to search engines.

                        Can anyone tell me what I should do?

                                Hey @Viktoriia1805,

                                Would you be able to let us know the URL so we can check this?

                                Also are there any errors showing when you run the URL through the inspection tool on Google Search Console (as below)?

                                0e2cfb4c-6bed-4351-891c-b8b1c5373e0f-image.png

                                    Crawl Errors: Review "Crawl Stats" in Google Search Console for any errors.
                                    Content Quality: Ensure the page has unique, valuable content.
                                    Internal Linking: Increase and improve internal links to the page.
                                    External Backlinks: Obtain quality backlinks to the page.
                                    Fetch as Google: Use the "URL Inspection" tool in Google Search Console to request indexing.
                                    Noindex and Canonical Tags: Verify no noindex tags or conflicting canonical tags are present.
                                    Content Freshness: Update the page content regularly.
                                    Page Speed and Mobile Usability: Ensure the page is fast and mobile-friendly.
                                    Structured Data: Implement schema markup on the page.
                                    Server Logs: Check server logs to ensure Googlebot is accessing the page.
                                    Sitemap File: Confirm the sitemap is correctly submitted and includes the page.

                                          Page Indexing without content

                                          indexing seo

                                          Hello. I have a problem of page indexing without content. I have website in 3 different languages and 2 of the pages are indexing just fine, but one language page (the most important one) is indexing without content. When searching using site: page comes up, but when searching unique keywords for which I should rank 100% nothing comes up. This page was indexing just fine and the problem arose couple of days ago after google update finished. Looking further, the problem is language related and every page in the given language that is newly indexed has this problem, while pages that were last crawled around one week ago are just fine. Has anyone ran into this type of problem?

                                          Virtual URL Google not indexing?

                                          canonical duplicate site structure url issue

                                          Dear all, We have two URLs: The main URL which is crawled both by GSC and where Moz assigns our keywords is: https://andipaeditions.com/banksy/ The second one is called a virtual url by our developpers: https://andipaeditions.com/banksy/signedandunsignedprintsforsale/ This is currently not indexed by Google. We have been linking to the second URL and I am unable to see if this is passing juice/anything on to the main one /banksy/ Is it a canonical? The /banksy/ is the one that is being picked up in serps/by Moz and worry that the two similar URLs are splitting the signal. Should I redirect from the second to the first? Thank you

                                          Hey guys ! I have a wordpress website and also yoast seo plugin . I've set up a meta title which is : TV Online | Assistir Filmes| Notícias | Futebol |GogsTV . (I checked on some free tools to see , and they also show up this) but .... google is showing this : GogsTV: TV Online | Assistir Filmes| Notícias | Futebol . Seems they are trying to show my brand name first instead of my main keyword . I'm not sure why it doesnt indexes as i want ... Does anybody know how can i fix this . Thanks

                                          Any idea how Google is doing this? Is it schematic? http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/28/google-adds-full-restaurant-menus-to-its-search-results-pages/

                                          Google is now showing menus on select searches.  Any idea how they are getting this information? I would like to make sure my clients get visibility this way.

                                          Does Google index dynamically generated content/headers, etc.?

                                          To avoid dupe content, we are moving away from a model where we have 30,000 pages, each with a separate URL that looks like /prices/<product-name>/<city><state>,  often with dupe content because the product overlaps from city to city, and it's hard to keep 30,000 pages unique, where sometimes the only distinction is the price & the city/state.</state></city></product-name> We are moving to a model with around 300 unique pages, where some of the info that used to be in the url will move to the page itself (headers, etc.) to cut down on  dupe content on those unique 300 pages. My question is this. If we have 300 unique-content pages with unique URL's, and we then put some dynamic info (year, city, state) into the page itself, will Google index this dynamic content? The question behind this one is, how do we continue to rank for searches for that product in the city-state being searched without having that info in the URL? Any best practices we should know about?

                                          Is there a SEO penalty for multi links on same page going to same destination page?

                                          Hi, Just a quick note. I hope you are able to assist. To cut a long story short, on the page below http://www.bookbluemountains.com.au/ -> Features Specials & Packages (middle column) we have 3 links per special going to the same page.
                                          1. Header is linked
                                          2. Click on image link - currently with a no follow
                                          3. 'More info' under the description paragraph is linked too - currently with a no follow Two arguments are as follows:
                                          1. The reason we do not follow all 3 links is to reduce too many links which may appear spammy to Google. 2. Counter argument:
                                          The point above has some validity, However, using no follow is basically telling the search engines that the webmaster “does not trust or doesn’t take responsibility” for what is behind the link, something you don’t want to do within your own website.   There is no penalty as such for having too many links, the search engines will generally not worry after a certain number.. nothing that would concern this business though.  I would suggest changing the no follow links a.s.a.p. Could you please advise thoughts. Many thanks Dave Upton [long signature removed by staff]

                                          Avoiding "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" - Best Practices?

                                          We have a website with a searchable database of recipes. You can search the database using an online form with dropdown options for: Course (starter, main, salad, etc)
                                          Cooking Method (fry, bake, boil, steam, etc)
                                          Preparation Time (Under 30 min, 30min to 1 hour, Over 1 hour) Here are some examples of how URLs may look when searching for a recipe: find-a-recipe.php?course=starter
                                          find-a-recipe.php?course=main&preperation-time=30min+to+1+hour
                                          find-a-recipe.php?cooking-method=fry&preperation-time=over+1+hour There is also pagination of search results, so the URL could also have the variable "start", e.g. find-a-recipe.php?course=salad&start=30 There can be any combination of these variables, meaning there are hundreds of possible search results URL variations. This all works well on the site, however it gives multiple "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" errors when crawled by SEOmoz. I've seached online and found several possible solutions for this, such as: Setting canonical tag Adding these URL variables to Google Webmasters to tell Google to ignore them Change the Title tag in the head dynamically based on what URL variables are present However I am not sure which of these would be best. As far as I can tell the canonical tag should be used when you have the same page available at two seperate URLs, but this isn't the case here as the search results are always different. Adding these URL variables to Google webmasters won't fix the problem in other search engines, and will presumably continue to get these errors in our SEOmoz crawl reports. Changing the title tag each time can lead to very long title tags, and it doesn't address the problem of duplicate page content. I had hoped there would be a standard solution for problems like this, as I imagine others will have come across this before, but I cannot find the ideal solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards
