Increase your number of indexed posts
OK so I'll share this cool trick with you.
A few weeks ago I had written about 57 posts for my site. But Google had only indexed 37 of them. This meant 20 of my posts couldn't rank.
So. I get onto Search Console and looked for all my posts that weren't indexed. I clicked on them and there was an option to "Request indexing". I did that with all of them.
An easier way is to just type the URL of each post into search console at the top under "url". Search console will tell you if the post is indexed or not. If not you can request indexing.
I did this and only a few days later almost all of my posts were indexed and can rank. Google is now ranking more of my posts.

Thanks, Matt. This helps a lot. I started again after a long period of inactivity, so when I get farther into my studies and program I'll have to remember this.
