Why are only 20 posts indexed?

[Joy J]

You can
use tools to detect article duplication, because the articles given by AI are also based on existing databases, and often appear similar to the content of the included web pages
also use some tools to detect and reduce AI traces

Based on previous experience, generally, an article can be indexed within a few hours, and most often not more than a month.
If it is still not after two months, you can check what is stated on GSC, and the article likely needs to be modified

Hello
I have a blog on a CRM niche, I have published a lot of content (110 articles) but unfortunately only 20 of those are getting indexed….
I find it weird since i have done my internal linking on all of it….
Also they almost all have images and are done with AI, even tho I was told that were high quality enough by people on this forum who looked at it.
My blog is 2.5 months old, if that is relevant
Thanks to everyone for replying in advance

If only 20 of your posts are indexed, it could be due to:

1. Low-Quality Content: Google may deem some posts as thin or duplicate.
2. Crawl Budget Issues: Your site might not be crawled frequently due to low authority.
3. Noindex Tags: Some posts may have accidental noindex tags in the meta.
4. Sitemap Issues: Your sitemap may not include all posts.
5. Lack of Backlinks: Unlinked posts are harder for Google to find and index.
6. Manual Penalty: A Google penalty might limit indexing.

Check Google Search Console for coverage issues and ensure all posts meet SEO best practices.

Sometimes Google takes longer to trust newer sites. One trick: update a few of your older articles with fresh, unique insights or stats, then resubmit those URLs in Search Console. It signals activity and might speed things up.

Keep resubmit those URLs in Search Console. Make sure you also have your sitemap submitted.
And just writing more content. It will slowly kicking in for new site.

Is the content AI ?

Is the content AI ?

Yes, but anyways I’ve seen on GSC that there are actually 89 pages indexed, which is approximately 90 % of my posts

Do you have previous experience in blogging or this is your first blog ? I am asking because you used AI in this blog

Nope first time

I use free indexing services such as Index Kings and share on social media like Reddit etc but as you have a young site, it does take a while for Google to pick them up.

What's the average time it takes for Google to index a new site?

Was it hit by the most recent update?

I couldn't say, the last site I did, my links were crawled within a week using free sites but only a few were indexed. I had over 20,000 pages so I didn't expect them all to be indexed straight away. I think it took about 3 months for all pages to be indexed.

1. Internal link better
2. Use indexing service (I like speedyIndex)

I had the same problem. I thought it was because of a Google update, they fixed something for the worse. I continued to publish quality posts, notes and photos. After about 6 months, everything returned, there was not such a big gap of unindexed posts

Yes

3 months is a good timeframe though.

• At 2.5 months, your site has limited authority; Google needs more time to trust it.
• Google may not crawl all 110 pages, prioritize high-value pages.
• AI content must be unique, helpful, and high-quality (focus on E-A-T).
• Ensure no noindex tags or robots.txt blocks; check for slow load times.
• Verify correct internal linking and submit an XML sitemap in Google Search Console.
• Build external backlinks to boost discoverability and indexing.
• Improve engagement (time on page, shares) to help indexing.

 

[Jane Ruskin]

Since your blog is only 2.5 months old, it may take some time for Google to index everything. Ensure there are no technical issues, like no index tags or crawl errors and work on improving content quality and acquiring backlinks.

You can check that none of your pages have been accidentally set to "noindex" in the code.
