I am facing an issue with my client's website. Newly created pages were created with no index tag while design time. But it's more than 2-3 weeks, and it is still showing

Page is not indexed: Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

Live test shows fine, but after these pages still shows the last check on 30th May.. Can someone share some ideas that can be helpful to get a faster index?

Internal linking has already been done. Blog two has been posted get indexed, but the services page is still missing. Please guide

however if you get an indexable result from your live test, it would be a gud idea to check whether google is curently in an old crawl index. re-request indexing, check for any noindex tags in the rendered HTML source code nd improve internal linking to indexed page.
 
Try not to worry too much about the 2 to 3 week delay. Search Console reports can be slow to update. After fixing the noindex issue, request indexing and monitor it for a few more days.

there will be instances wherein GSC does not represent the current status of the web page. the server header files, robots.txt nd the HTML that will folow for the noindex tag should be checked. should there be nothing wrong with these patience is the key.
 
Everything is normal. All is done but it is more than 3 weeks no movement no new pages crawled
 
If the noindex tag has already been removed and the live test looks good, Google likely hasn't recrawled the page yet. Submit the URL for indexing again in Google Search Console, make sure it is included in your sitemap, improve internal links from important pages, and double-check that there are no robots.txt or canonical issues preventing indexing.

It has happened to me before as well. If the live test shows that the page is being crawled then there is no problem there. Search console may be taking time to update ittself on whether the page is indexable or not. It is best to re check that the page is not being blocked somewhere else included in the sitemap nd linkked to from other related pages.
 
This looks like a caching/reporting lag issue more than an actual noindex problem, especially if the live test comes back clean. A few things worth checking beyond what's already been mentioned:

- If you're on a Domain property in Search Console, make sure the sitemap you submitted uses the full absolute URL (https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml), not a relative path. Search Console can silently mis-parse relative paths, which delays discovery even when internal linking is solid.

- Don't just wait on the sitemap crawl. Submit each stuck URL manually through URL Inspection and hit "Request Indexing" - that's usually noticeably faster than waiting for Google to recrawl the sitemap on its own.

- If the page briefly had a noindex tag live before the fix, Google may have cached that signal. Requesting indexing again a few days after the fix usually clears it.

Given internal linking's already in place and one page is indexed fine, the services page is probably just stuck on stale data rather than a config problem you're missing.

If you're 100% sure you've removed all of the noindex tags, then it may just take Google a little time to catch up. That said, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process.

First, submit the affected pages through Google Search Console and request indexing. I'd also make sure your sitemap is updated so Google can easily discover your newest pages.

Since you've already done some internal linking, I'd also consider building a few external links to those pages. Not only can this help Google discover them faster, but it also starts building authority, which can improve their ability to rank over time.
 
Thanks all for your suggestions, I am trying everything, but still things are not on the right tracks

welcome to BHW take some time to familiarize yourself with diferent sections of the forum and benefit from some case studie presented here. but the true power of the forum lie in trying something out yourself.
 
Almost everyone is facing issue with indexing, its like Google is trying to save memory or something. Start building your links, google will pick the pages faster.

Build a few quality internal and external backlink to those service page.
 
Check the rendered HTML via Search Console's "Tested page" view, not just the source — some CMS setups apply noindex client-side. Also confirm robots.txt isn't blocking the folder.

determine whether there is crawling being done by google of the page or it is merely reflecting outdated information in Google Search Console. report may be behind by week, so improve internal linking of active page.

since the live test is clean, I would focus on crawl priority instead of the noindex warning. as service page may get crawled slower than recent blog page give stronger signal internaly and check whether google is selecting the next crawl.
 
Maybe check if there is any noindex tag in source code or header. Sometimes live test is fine but old settings are still cached.
 
I had a similar issue before. After removing the noindex tag, it still took time. Request reindexing, check the sitemap, improve internal links, and wait for Google to recrawl.
 
Try adding some external signals like sharing the page or getting a few natural links. It can help Google discover the page faster.
