Do not just resubmit
Google's help says the page may be indexed in the future and that there is no need to resubmit it for crawling. Requests alone rarely change the outcome.
"Crawled - currently not indexed": what to check
Google crawled the page and decided not to index it for now. It may be indexed later, and resubmitting does not change that, so the useful work is improving which pages deserve a place.
Expect this on large page sets
Sites with many similar pages often see a large share in this status. Fewer, stronger pages usually serve visitors better than many thin ones.
Diagnose it
Symptoms, checks and fixes
Common symptoms
- A large share of pages sits under "Crawled - currently not indexed".
- Similar pages, such as many location or tag pages, are the ones left out.
Checks to run
| Check | How to tell | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Does each page add something its siblings do not? | Compare a few excluded pages side by side. Near-identical text with a swapped place name or keyword is a warning sign. | Improve the pages that serve a real need, and merge or remove the rest.[1] |
| Could the pattern look like scaled or doorway content? | Read Google's spam policies on scaled content and doorway pages and compare them with how the pages were made. | Reduce or rework page sets made mainly to rank for variations of a search.[2] |
| Is the page linked from your own site? | Check whether menus, hubs or related pages link to it, or whether it is only in the sitemap. | Link important pages from relevant pages on your site.[3] |
| Is a canonical pointing somewhere else? | In URL Inspection compare the user-declared and Google-selected canonical. | Make sure the page declares itself as canonical if it should be indexed.[4][5] |
