Is sitemap working correctly because new posts aren’t indexing in Google

Hi @slis, I can see the posts (that you don’t see listed in Google) included in the sitemap.xml for your site.

Could you look into the “Page Indexing Report” of your Google Search Console account for the URLs that are not indexed and the reasons for that? You may find this guide helpful to explore the “Page Indexing Report”. Let us know what you find there.

Ajay,

Thanks so much for your response. Yes I had checked the report awhile back and the reason was “Discovered – currently not indexed.”

The description of the issue on the help page says “The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URL but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report.”

What confuses me is that some of these posts are from August and early September, so I thought it wouldn’t take more than almost 2 months to crawl them again, or am I incorrect?

Thank you!

Hi @slis,

Thanks for the update, at this time I recommend getting in touch with the Google Search team directly. You can contact them here https://support.google.com/websearch/?hl=en#topic=3378866

Best,

Hi Gaurav,

Do you mean using the forum? I have tried that with no luck. I don’t see a place to contact Google directly on the link you sent?

Hello there – I think you will need to post in their forum here, or you can find an existing similar forum topic there for a solution. You can also search for possible support document.
