I can't index my pages. Google bots don't explore my pages

[Thigoku]

Hi guys,
I've created a website in April. Google explored it beginning of April, but didn't index my pages. Site was still in the building, but now, I've completed it and I'd like to index my pages. Nevertheless, when I request "page indexation", Google doesn't do it. It visibly doesn't even explore again my pages. I have 2 "class" of pages considered by Google: "Explored, currently not indexed" (Pages Google already explored in april) or "Detected, currently not indexed" (Pages newly created since April).
What I've done: I've well recorded my sitemap + I've blocked the indexation of pages showing "?search=" or "?s=" in the content.
The validation status is written as "started", but no exploration, nor nothing has been done since 2nd of September (When I wanted to index again my pages).

Do you know if I made something wrong? Or what should I do to correct it?

Thanks in advance for your precious help !

What kind of site is it? Please check if any of your Plugins Block your Indexification in the Google Search, and Check the Robot.txt too.

Hi,
Thanks for your response !
It's a site proposing services (With Woocommerce).
What kind of plugin may block indexification?
I've checked the robot.txt to block thé "?s=" indexation, do you think there may be an issue in the robot txt, even if I've only added this mention in the content?

Thanks for your help !

Ok, so that means you are using Wordpress. Do you have any SEO plugins? And more importantly, did you block search engine access to your site (putting noindex sitewide) while you were still building it? If that was the case then it will take a while for Google to reclassify your site as "indexable". If you didn't block search engine access though, then maybe your content is too generic? Are you purely using AI tool to generate descriptions/content for your woocom site in a popular niche? That can be a factor also for not getting indexed.

Here's what you could do:

Create an account on Reddit, create a post on your profile pointing to your homepage. Surround it with relevant content. Around 100 words should be enough. Reddit has high indexation rate.

Create a YT channel with your site name as your brand, post a video like an introduction to what your site is about, include your "yourdomain.com" in the title. Also include a live link of your homepage in the description area.

Lastly, since you are using Wordpress, download Rankmath's free Index plugin. Here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-indexing-api/
here is the tutorial to get it installed: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/

This should help your site index faster

Also: since you are already using Wordpress woocommerce, you don't really need to make your ?s= page non-indexable because Wordpress is such a popular platform that Google already knows its default site structure. It will handle the search pages and archive pages without you needing to do anything about it.

it seems like Google is slow in re-indexing your site. I’d double-check for any crawl-blocking issues, ensure all pages are accessible, and try resubmitting the sitemap. Also, improving internal linking and gaining some backlinks might help Google prioritize your pages

Yes I have Yoast SEO. I've not blocked search engine on my site nor used AI to build it :/
I'm gonna try all what you're mentioning: Reddit, YT and Rankmath

I'll keep you inform about it !

Thanks

Naïve question, but how can I check for any crawl-blocking issue? Is it by checking if I have "nofllow" links, AI content etc.?

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to improve my internal linking !

1) Your site is pure AI and it is not interesting for Google.
2) Your are using expired domain, which has some algo penalties previously.

Check you domain spam score, check your backlinks profile, tell us about your traffic.

checking for crawl-blocking issues involves reviewing your robots.txt file, making sure there are no "noindex" tags, and ensuring that key pages aren’t blocked. It’s not just about "nofollow" links or AI content. Tools like Google Search Console can help spot these issue

Hi everybody,
Thank you for all your responses ! I have a point that I should have mentioned before, but my site was considered as a malicious one, not precisely knowing why. I've then resubmitted my sitemap and they considered that the issue was solved and my site is then not considered as a malicious one anymore. Can it explain why my pages are not yet indexed? And is there a way to accelerate their indexation?
Thanks for your feedbacks!

Yes my Google search console identified the sitemap, the pages, but doesn't index them, that's why they don't appear in the "Real Google search", and I don't know why I can't index them :/
