I've got a small resale store with products from different sources, including Whop, Sellvia Mall and Gumroad. There is one big trouble: not all product pages indexed in google. I submitted my sitemap through Search Console, but quite a few URLs are still not showing up. Another issue is that I can't freely change some of the product titles because they're imported from the original catalogs through product feeds. Source provider told in advance that any manual changes could get overwritten during the next update. I need your opinion, guys:
Would adding unique descriptions, more internal links and better category pages help with this? Or is there something else worth trying when you're working with products from several different sources?

check the exclusion reson in search console first, especially duplicate or alternate canonical issues then add unique product details nd make sure important pages r linked from relevant categories.
 
a reviews section, canonical tags, and a unique description (150+ words) and it will be much better. If your product titles and descriptions match those on Whop, Sellvia, or Gumroad exactly, search engines will consider your pages to be copies of the original sources.
 
Your real problem is the feed overwriting your edits — anything you change in a field the feed syncs will get wiped on the next import, so stop fighting it there and add a layer the feed can't touch instead: a separate content block or custom field the importer doesn't map to (what's included, compatibility, what it's actually for). That's where the unique text lives, and it survives every sync.

Then triage before rewriting anything, because the two GSC statuses need different fixes: 'Discovered — currently not indexed' is usually crawl budget and internal linking, so link the page from a relevant category and cut competing thin pages; 'Crawled — currently not indexed' is Google seeing the page and deciding it isn't worth keeping, which is the thin/duplicate content problem. And don't try to get everything indexed — noindex the thinnest duplicates and let the category pages carry the weight, so the pages you do want indexed actually get crawled.

I will start by analyzing those page that have been left out from GSC to see whether google is leaving them becuz of duplicative content, issues with canonicalization, or thin content. adding unique content to these pages and linking to them through their respective category pages will add more value for google to recognize them. honestly since your product feed overrides all that you input there try adding more information through custom fields.
 
internal links from indexed pages helped mine lol, imported pages with no links just sit invisible imo

In my experience, internal links from already indexed, high-traffic pages make a huge difference here. Imported product pages with zero internal links often just sit invisible to Google. Setting up solid category pages, contextual links from indexed blog posts, and related-product blocks usually pushes crawlers to pick up those feeds faster
 
honestly i wouldnt try to get every imported product indexed. pick your 20-30 best sellers, give those a proper unique write up and noindex the rest for now. google tends to trust the whole store more once it stops seeing hundreds of near copies of gumroad pages
 
Unique descriptions and stronger category pages would be my starting point. Imported products often have duplicate content across stores, so add useful details, improve internal linking, and check Search Console for crawl or indexing issues before pushing more URLs.
 
strengthening your internal linking through heavy category silo structures and custom tag pages is a solid way to force indexation. if big G's bot can't crawl deep links organically from your homepage, it will just leave those programmatic product pages in the excluded section forever.

I think category pages are worth improving first. They can help Google find products and also give visitors better ways to browse.
 
If the product feed keeps overwriting your changes, check whether the importer supports custom fields or protected SEO data. Otherwise, every sync could undo your titles and descriptions. Fixing that first makes more sense than repeatedly optimizing pages that get reset during the next import.
