Hello, my website is experiencing an issue where many of my older articles have been deindexed. Currently, my site has around 500 articles, but more than 200 of them—which had been indexed by Google a few months ago—are now no longer indexed. I've tried to resubmit them for indexing, but only a few weeks later, they get deindexed again.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Should I consider rewriting all 200+ of these articles? (I really hope not, as it would take me a lot of time.) I'm wondering if there's a faster or more efficient way to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance!
 
Have you recently posted AI content on the site?
 
No, I write all the content myself and always check for duplication using tools. I'm absolutely sure that all of my articles are 100% unique.
 
You should try regular white hat strategies like resubmitting sitemap, checking for crawl errors, and force indexing some of the links. If there are no penalties, google will fix the issues soon.
 
Instead of Rewriting all, start by updating and improving the quality of your top-performing or most relevant deindexed articles first.
 
Try To Make An Excel sheet of Pages Which Got Deindex After This Update Every Link Manually Like Add Interlink Of Index pages and Change the images and resubmit it into GSC Again.

Try to find a way through AI or Chat GPT
 
Check Search Console for crawl errors. Fix any duplicate or thin content. Update your sitemap and internal links. Then request indexing again.
 
Yeah, this is pretty common after recent Google updates. It usually means Google doesn’t see enough value in those older posts. No need to rewrite all 200, but try updating a few with fresh info, improve internal linking, maybe add some media (images, videos, etc.) and do some quality backlinks for authority.

You should focus on quality over quantity. Then see if those stick first, before doing mass rewrites.
