Post not ranking at all

First, make sure that the page aligns with the correct search intent and possesses sufficient topic depth compared to its ranking competitors. Next, consider the internal linking, content gap, and page authority factors before making any significant alterations,

If a new article is indexed but not ranking. I would first check search intent, content quality and competition. Also review internal links and give google some time to understand the page. Avoid making too many changes too quickly.

i would concentrate on figuring out why google has not selected it as opposed to the existing ones. this would involve comparing the content, dettermining whether the keyword is too competitive, optimizing the title nd structure of the web page nd ensuring that the internal linkiing is correct. at times a newly written article may require some time for data collection.

in case my article is indexed nd not ranking i would not do anythiing blindly. in the first place i would see if my article is getting any impressions, since impressions indicate whether google is experimenting with the page or not. also i would analyze search intent, content gap in comparison with competitors, internal linking nd the authoritty of the page.

Indexing is only the first step. Look for search intent matching, depth of the content compared to competitors, internal linking, topical relevance, and if the page has enough authority signals. Some pages just need more time, but mismatched search intent usually tops the list.
