We Help Clients Get Their Website Pages Indexed in Google

Google has warned for years that every site needs great, valued natural content with quality backlinks. If Google determines your website lacks quality content, then it may not index your webpages. Pages that aren't indexed won't appear in search results. There is no quick fix to rank critical pages. We do, however, have specific solutions to help improve your site and indexing.

2021 and 2022 Algorithm Updates Affected Indexing

In their latest algorithm updates, Google adjusted how frequently and thoroughly their search bots crawl sites' content. This analysis is mostly determined by the overall value of the entire website, compared to those of the competition. Google may slow down how it is indexing your site after it calculates your site's value compared to the rest of the web and your competitors.

What Factors Can Affect Indexing?

"It's really hard to call a site authoritative after 30 articles, and especially if you've stopped publishing for a while, I can see how Google might be a bit more conservative with regards to indexing more."" - John Mueller, Search Advocate at Google

  • Small Sites of Less than 30 pages
  • Interruption in Blogging / Posting
  • Content under 500 words for subpages or 1,000 words for main pages
  • Generic content that doesn’t directly support the page topic
  • Long URL Issues
  • Coverage Issues in Google
  • Page Experience Issues / Core Web Vitals
  • Lack of Domain Authority and Backlink Profiles
  • Lack of Social Media and Inbound Links
  • Poor User Experience
  • Slow Site

How to Promote Full Site Indexing

  • Regular Publishing – Regularly publish core new high-quality content to your site.
  • Unique Content – Publish authoritative, unique content that is read and shared.
  • Authoritative Website – Secure a backlink profile with a focus on quality. This can be but is not limited to guest posting, legal directories, and other link-building tactics.
  • Fast & Secure – Ensure your site is quick to load and maintains a 70+ score through Google PageSpeed Insights

What about Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Other Search Engines?

The indexing issues typically do not affect other search engines. Further, Bing uses an IndexNow protocol which allows websites to be indexed quicker. Google has not yet implemented this (even though we can still request the indexing of a page in Google Search Console).

Google Crawl Budget

Google does have a crawl budget, but unless your site has more than 100,000 pages, this should not be an issue.

How Can I Check if My Site is Indexed?

Easy, just visit Google and type in the web address for: yourcooldomain.com. This will tell you which pages are indexed in total on your website. You can also visit Google and search site:yourcooldomain.com/example-page/ to see if a specific page is indexed in Google.

You can type in specific pages too to see if they are indexed, such as:
