I created a site a week ago, published about 15 posts and sent them to GSC for indexing. I also added the sitemap. Google only indexed the useless pages: privacy policy, about us, contact us (and I hadn't even sent them to GSC).
the others are "detected but not indexed". usually the posts I send for other sites are indexed after a few hours (even on new sites), why not this time? it only indexed the useless pages.
the domain is .de, so not a generic .com/.net etc.
Any tips to force the index? I have to buy some social signals?
 
Maybe your contents are not in good quality work on the contents

What is the quality of the content you created in those posts? Are they giving value to the user from Google's perspective?

Yes, I have Many websites in the same niche, the content it’s HQ
 
Google can't index every page instantly, they set some priority based on the crawl data. If your site don't do well in quality metrics then you will see more pages in the indexing queue, named as "crawled but not indexed", just know that at this moment it is not a priority of search engine to index these pages. Simply improve the quality of your posts and you will see more % of pages indexed.
 
those pages are not useless pages but mandatory pages according to google and is always prioritised over other pages for a new website. Give sometime for other pages to be indexed.

So I only have to wait? Can I try to create new sitemap and submit again?
 
If you already have force indexed and it wont index, you have to wait.

Maybe try changing the url and reindexing. If it still wont index, leave it for sometime.

Can we create multiple privacy policy pages, get quickly indexed and then edit those posts?

Google will treat the other policy pages as duplicate.

If you force index, it may work I am guessing. That looks super black hat lol. but how is that going to help? What are you going to do about the privacy policy in the slug?

You could create different policy pages with different text...rephrase or just ask chatgpt to create new ones

The slug may be a problem, since you can edit the post but the slug would need to be the same, maybe just use generic ones

Well, just a thought that came in my mind after reading your comment

It's common for google to index non-content pages first, but to help force index your main posts focus on improving internal linking, ensuring your posts high-quality and unique and sharing the content on social media for organic signals.
Social signals may help but consistent engagement and backlinks from reputable sources can also speed up indexing
 
Since you've already submitted the sitemap, double-check that your important posts are listed there. If any errors show up in GSC regarding the sitemap, fix those.
 
I tried to edit all posts, now are unique each other. Now I will submit the sitemap again and a couple of posts.
Let's see, I will update you!
 
Nothing changed. I have many websites, all indexed fast, but this website didn't index anything, only generic pages like privacy policy, who we are etc.
What I have to do? I submitted posts to GSC many times, but Google did not index my posts
