I have seen it on several projects and heard from many SEOs out there.
There are lots of websites having issues getting new content indexed by Google since the last few months.

Big sites with thousands of pages but also small sites with a few hundred, they all have relatively high DR in their niche and are following all the common recommendations like ...
- they ping their new articles via GSC
- no technical issues (mentioned in xml sitemaps & html sitemaps, well internally linked, meta tags are fine, no blockings from robots.txt, Google can crawl them, and so on)
- posted them on SocialMedia to "generate" social signals
... but pages still aren't indexed by Google.

Do you guys experience the same issue? has anyone found a solution?

I don't believe there's a remedy for this or those who know don't share it (indexing services are a waste of $$$).
Some say we should buy a Gnews site to post sites url's to get indexed and once indexed, delete the url's from Gnews site.
Haven't tried this but seems to be working for some fellows.
 
Google recently limit on their console thats why delay.
But many guys offerring paid service to index your site within 1-2 days.
my all contents also index in 1-2 days
 
A lot of people are facing the same issues, myself included.

I've been experimenting with the way articles are written. It seems Google is not indexing articles which don't offer new insights into the information. As in, "why bother, the info is already out there".

I've been playing with the number of images, videos, multimedia on an article. It seems it has some kind of effect on indexing.
Sometimes I get lazy and don't include any picture in an article. Sometimes I add multiple ones, maybe one for each sub-heading. It seems it works, but not always.

Internal linking seems to do the trick. But again, it's not always a guarantee.

I had one big article which consisted of approx 4,000 words. It wasn't indexing, even using the Instant Api, or GSC.
Then I started editing it. Added a bunch more information that wasn't included in the top 10 ranking articles. Added some polls, some statistics, a personal made table. Resubmitted again in GSC and this time it indexed.

Of course, it was just one article, but it's easy to see some kind of correlation between the issues.

Social shares have no direct impact on indexing. Yes, a lot of the indexing articles have social signals. But it's an after effect. Contrary to what hundreds of people are saying, you can't just index something using Facebook.

Totally agree... Never managed to index a single article using FB.
So I have no idea why so many suggest social shares.

If you’re looking for a tip on indexing, it’s in this comment. New information is the key with Google nowadays.
 
I have posted about this problem several times.
it started from Sep 2021, for me and there was a major update on G.

indexing so hard if Google thinks it's useless article,
or spam.
 
I am facing this problem too, Google is also de-indexing many of my articles that were indexed...
 
I also have this issue, recent articles within one month don't get index.
 
It might help if you guys post more details regarding those deindexed pages, or the ones you haven't yet indexed.

What is the word count? Is the content spun/rewritten/AI/etc.? What was the research done? Are images used? How about internal linking?

Maybe we can find a common denominator, since there are so many of us in the same position.

Also, rather important, where were you ranking before articles were deindexed? Was it first page, page 7, etc?

I've seen people saying it's taken them 3-4 months in some instances to get indexed.

I have no motivation to keep writing articles. I don't know what should to do next.
 
Ya, i have same issue since 2 months ago
Already use indexer like link processor but still nothing
But, just a few of my new post
 
Now a days, a big issue in indexing the post. Even if you have done so many ways, but still in trouble.
 
More than half of my total number posts are deindexed. I have tried many things but to no avail. I have decided to continue writing articles on this one and start a new one as well.
