I have a month old blog with AI+human content. All passes Originality.ai with human content. I noticed the googl console dashboard shows like 6 indexed pages but noticed different pages are indexed at googl. And not the same pages. Total posts on site is about 26. Other urls, googl doesnt even crawl them. Am i being sandboxed?
 
Hello,

Try to submit the no-indexed pages using Search Console.

If they show error like: Crawled but can't Index. Then you need to update your content to get it indexed.
 
GSC is notorious for being 2–3 days behind the actual live index. If you see pages in the "site:domain.com" results that aren't in your dashboard yet, it's just a reporting lag.

As for the other pages not being crawled, 1 month is still very early. Google is likely just throttle-crawling to see if the site remains consistent. Keep posting and they'll eventually pick up the pace.
 
It sounds like the standard 'new site dance.' With the domain only being a month old, it's normal for Google to index a few pages and ignore the rest while it tests your authority. I wouldn't stress about the sandbox just yet, give it another few weeks and maybe try some internal linking from your indexed pages to the ones that are stuck. That usually helps the crawl.

This is correct.

Check the pages manually, share the links on social media etc. Over time indexing will become easier.
