How To Fix Google Not Indexing New Posts Even After Submitting To Google

HenryObi · Oct 1, 2019

Recently I noticed Google has stopped indexing my new blog posts even when I submit using inspect URL tool.
Days these posts do not get indexed and do not show on Google when I search the url of the posts.

My site still gets search traffic from Google; though very little but just to dismiss the possibility of a 'penalty' or is there any form of hidden penalty? There isn't any message on my search console either.

How do you think I can fix this?

This is happening with all the new posts of only with few random posts?

This seems like a penalty to me, but since it’s not showing in console it may be an error on their side. Did you recently change your sitemaps? Which seo plugin are you using?. One way to try and index your posts is to shoot some social signals. Also check if your content is illegal or not.

I think maybe your page have error, like not a mobile compatible, js error. You can check it using live url test
I am lucky my new articles get indexed in minutes sometimes instantly as I submitted it.

I have only published 3 posts recently and they all had same issue. I had to revert the other 2 to draft.

No, I didn't change anything on the site. The site is on blogger with custom domain. Th content isn't illegal at all. Previously once I submit to Google using the inspect tool in less than 10 minutes they get indexed. thanks for your suggestions though

I have none of those issues, I just submitted again, this is the result of the mobile usability report

Logs are your friends. Check googlebot behavior on your logs. Is it crawling your site?

If not = penalty.

I also have this problem on one of my old website which is indexed and ranked on some keywords. I published new article before 4 days and every day I submit it to search console's inspection tool for Google to index it, but it won't.
So far 4 days passed since i published it, and 4 times tried to index it but unsuccessful.

Maybe this is related with newest Google's update somehow. The weird thing is some of my other new posts from other sites gets indexed.

The page is all uniquely written, everything done same like I'm always doing when making sites. It's so weird...

You'll find this in the logs section of cpanel or via ssh access.

There could be two possibilities for this:
1- You may have made changes to your robot.txt files.
2- Second is try to explore your source codes of those noindex pages and see if there is "Noindex" tag found? If yes edit post and see the setting under the post area section there must be "noindex" selection to those pages. Which SEO plugin are you using?

In some instances, 6-10 weeks is being recognized for crawl/indexing...

wow... this isn't a new site... and older posts took less than 10 minutes to index once submitted using inspect URL tool

HenryObi · Oct 2, 2019

UPDATE:
I tried creating a post on another of my site and submitting to Google search using the inspect URL tool, I discovered this new post on another site has been successfully indexed on the same search console account.
