So first of all, Mr. Madsteel, I appreciate you need not do that, I also dont think im allowed to sell services or anything like that here if im not paying.
I also have not seen your website so I dont want to take money from someone when im not even sure I can help them.
If your domain is newer then indexing problems might just be a given at scale.
Mister Lukey372 just recommended using the google indexing API, and not to discredit his own personal experience with it, I want to add some consideration before you do this on your website.
If you are unaware, many people have been linking google indexing API to entire websites being shadow banned. Where your content is indexed but it doesnt show at all.
I myself have observed this on a smaller website I had that just so happened to have this set up.
I am not saying that it 100% will happen, or that we are sure this is the cause but it has been a common factor in some of the deranks.
I will just ad some links and anecdotes for you to read.

-----------------
My personal website which was on a slighly aged domain roughly 4 days after I set up indexing api on it through rank math.

Now im not saying that this is 100% the cause, no one knows yet, but all im saying, is that you need to look if you are willing to potentially risk it.
I have removed the API etc and tried different things and still cant get this one to even get a single impression. I submit things to try aswell and nothing working so far.
On this other domain, I added the API and in a week impressions started dropping to 0, I removed it, and things went back up for a bit but then now it is practically dead.

the second red mark is when I removed it.
For all I know, the issue might be rank math related, and not the API, but I havent tested anything seperate like that.
So these are some of the rare failures you will see me post.
I like the domain names however so im not gonna give up on them, ideally ill figure something out when
I have the time and resources.
@cyrus451 I just noticed you made a post asking about this same thing so I figured id @ you
(link to post for whoever wants to read whatever people say there, everyone gonna have mixed opinions)

@Almostbr0ke
basically just light theme (default 2023, astra etc etc) better hosting (benefit varies as you will need to point your nameservers to ezoic in the end anyways).
Also as I mentioned with images not being near the top of my pages, and not needing to be loaded in at the start, hence lazy loading etc etc and ezoic built in caching stuff on leap.
Keep in mind some settings on leap may break your menu bar on mobile so you need to check and play around with it to get best result on your site without
having issues. Do not trust ezoic to optimize leap for you, those f*****s will set you on generic settings and will not even check if it breaks the site or not.
Found this out the hard way because people were emailing me that they couldnt use my site navigation after I had ezoic set up my leap one time.
I told them about it, they took off leap........ who every I was dealing with appearently was either too lazy to actually fix my site, or didnt know how to do
anything but press and off or on button. I had to fix it myself from the settings and it took like 10 minutes.
Anyways, let me stop there before I end up ranting about ezoic again, I do that enough already.
Just because they pay me doesnt mean they dont piss me off.
