The post titled "Fixing Discovered Currently Not Indexed" on Search Engine Journal

Hello, Team. I hope you are all doing well.

I came across an interesting post related to GSC and site indexing that I wanted to share with you. This is a two-prong post because I would also like to hear about your indexing errors, if any, and how you resolve them.

The SEJ post outlines why a page might be discovered by Google but not indexed, as well as potential solutions to this issue.

The first reason is that Google may have found the page, but it still needs to be crawled. This could be due to technical reasons, such as overloading the site or the page having a robots.txt disallow rule.

Another reason for a page to be discovered but not indexed is that it may need to meet Google's quality standards. This could be because the page is thin or duplicate content, or because it needs more backlinks.

The post also provides tips on fixing the "Discovered Currently Not Indexed" issue. These include requesting indexing via Google Search Console, checking for crawl budget and content quality issues, and checking that the content is internally linked and has backlinks.

The post concludes by stating that there is no guarantee that Google will ever index a page, even if it has been discovered. Read that last sentence again…Who Owns Search? However, following the tips in the post can increase the chances of your pages being indexed and appearing in search results.

Here are some additional details from the post:

• The "Discovered Currently Not Indexed" status can last forever, as Google doesn't guarantee crawling and indexing every webpage.
• Google's John Mueller has said that the "Discovered Currently Not Indexed" status can indicate a technical issue, such as overloading the site.
• There are some things you can do to try to fix the "Discovered Currently Not Indexed" status, such as requesting indexing via Google Search Console, checking for crawl budget issues, and checking for content quality issues.
