Does Google ever not update SERPs for specific keywords? Over 70% of the search results are 404 pages that were once backlinked and then deleted. Despite having well-crafted image and text content, I do not appear in the keyword search results.

I'm curious about how to prompt indexing and crawling in such cases and ensure visibility.

If Google is showing a bunch of deleted pages for your search, make new and good stuff, do good SEO, and tell Google about it through Search Console to get your site noticed and seen.

Thanks for your reply. Once making a good stuff, should I submit the URL and Sitemap in the search console?
 
Google does delay SERP updates occasionally, especially if they're rolling out algorithm changes or if they're experiencing indexing issues. The 404s you're seeing could be a sign of the latter

instead you can also use Google Search Console's Fetch as Google feature to manually request for specific pages to be indexed.
 
Google은 가끔 SERP 업데이트를 지연합니다. 특히 알고리즘 변경 사항을 출시하거나 색인 생성 문제가 발생하는 경우 더욱 그렇습니다. 당신이 보고 있는 404는 후자의 신호일 수 있습니다.
Thank you for the response. In that case, is there a specific method to make the content visible?
 
To get Google to notice your site, make sure your backlinks are clean, update your content often, and submit your site map to Google Search Console.
 
Add an HTML sitemap to the homepage for better indexing. You can use RankMath plugin for HTML sitemap.
