📌 Summary
This video explains the "Crawled - currently not indexed" status in Google Search Console and how to address it.
The status indicates that Google has crawled a page but chosen not to include it in its index, preventing it from appearing in search results.
To fix pages marked as "Crawled - currently not indexed," several strategies can be employed. Adding more internal links to these pages can increase their chances of being indexed.
Tools like InternalLinking or using the site operator in Google search can help find internal linking opportunities.
Content length and quality are also crucial factors. If competitor pages have significantly more content, expanding the page's information may help.
Matching search intent is essential; ensuring the content aligns with what users expect for a given query can improve indexing chances.
Duplicate content is another common issue that can lead to this status. Using canonical tags or modifying content can help resolve this problem. Structured data errors can cause Google to misinterpret a page, so addressing any enhancement issues is important. For e-commerce sites, out-of-stock products may be marked as "Crawled - currently not indexed," so keeping product availability up-to-date is crucial.
Other factors that can contribute to this status include paginated URLs, RSS feeds, and false positives in Google Search Console. While paginated URLs and RSS feeds may not always need indexing, false positives can be checked by testing the live URL in Google search.
By addressing these issues, website owners can improve their chances of having pages indexed and appearing in search results.
