Hi netlify support & dear community,

I am struggling big time and I am at my wit's end. Ive already built plenty of pages using Netlify and NEVER faced any issues indexing the page but right I have the following situation:

Custom domain hannahamatacom 1 is used for my netlify page setting the netlify nameserver in my IONOS DNS configuration for my domain.
As you can see the mentioned link/domain is working.
I set all relevant SEO tags for the individual pages (canonical, title, robots) and provided a sitemap in the google search console (hannahamata.com/sitemap-index.xml 1). I also have a robots.txt (hannahamata.com/robots.txt).

If I check in google the indexed pages via "site:hannahamata.com" I do find the index page listed, but my other two pages are missing. When using google directly and taking "hanna hamata" as a search I do not even find the website even though it should be found.

Further, I tried adding the other two subpages manually for crawling within the google search console (no issues when doing so) but they do not appear as indexed.

Does anyone have any idea? I really cannot tell why this is the case, so help is appreciated.

Hope someone has a useful idea what could be missing.

Thanks

Hi, to ensure Google indexes your website, you need to actively notify Google about it, given the vast number of websites online. This can be achieved through methods such as acquiring backlinks from other sites, registering your site with Google, providing a sitemap, and potentially setting up a Google Custom Search Engine page.

I'm hoping you've managed to sort out your issues. But in case you or someone else stumbles upon this thread with similar troubles, I have some suggestions. Given that you've already set up canonicals, title tags, and sitemaps, you might want to consider diving deeper into localized SEO strategies. Sometimes, improving local SEO can make a significant impact on overall search rankings. There are specialized Local SEO Services for Small Businesses that focus on enhancing your online presence specifically in local search results. This includes citation building, local keyword optimization, and even review management.

Make a sitemap and send it to Google Search Console. This guarantees that every page is indexed by Google and assists it in understanding the structure of your website. Relevant, high-quality material is preferred by Google. Make sure the material on your website is beneficial to consumers and worth their time.
