SEO & Google

Why are my auto-published posts not indexed by Google?

Usually it is one of these reasons. Check them in this order:

  1. The post is not public. Posts held as Pending Review (low SEO score or duplicate) or saved as Draft are invisible to Google. Filter Held for review on the SEO Dashboard.
  2. The post is set to noindex. Check the Robots field in the post's AI AutoPost SEO panel, the index setting for new posts in SEO Settings → Robots, your SEO plugin, and that Discourage search engines from indexing this site is off in WordPress Settings → Reading.
  3. Google has not found it yet. Submit your sitemap in Search Console and link new posts from your homepage and categories.
  4. Google chose not to index it for now. In the Search Console Pages report, a status like "Crawled – currently not indexed" means Google saw the page but did not add it. This is common on new sites and for posts that are very short or very similar to pages elsewhere.

Use URL Inspection in Search Console on one post to see the exact reason. More original, useful posts in one niche are the lasting fix. If you are stuck, contact support.
