Part 7
Indexing triage decision guide
Search Console tells you the state, not the cause. Match the status to the fix instead of requesting indexing again.
- Discovered, not indexed — strengthen internal links and page value.
- Crawled, not indexed — thin or duplicated; rewrite or merge.
- Blocked by robots or noindex — fix the tag, then re-crawl.
- Soft 404 or redirect error — point it at the right page.
