Crawled but not indexed: my GSC debug checklist (technical vs priority)
“Crawled — currently not indexed” is often not a content problem.
In many cases it’s a priority decision, not quality.
Here’s a simple checklist to tell:
technical blockers vs pages Google doesn’t want to keep yet.
The “solution” most of the time is not editing the page.
If hard gates and duplication are clean, the fix is:
– strengthen internal linking hierarchy
– reduce crawl debt
– wait instead of forcing reindexing
Curious how others handle this on new or migrated sites.
