Our SEO Efforts (5x conversion so far)
by Luca VaccariniGoogle has been painfully slow trying to crawl our site so we've resorted to manually submitted URL's every day to get some impact going. Surprisingly this has worked out fairly well for us. We only have 100 out of 1900 pages indexed and we can't wait to see the results once everything is fully in Google.
For context since we started manually adding our pages into Googles crawler pipeline, we've seen 5x search traffic!

I know that feeling of not getting traction with Google! 😭 But on the flip side, once it starts working, it's like euphoria seeing that graph tick up 🤩

Sounds worthwhile! Hey I have a random question...have you ran into "Discovered - Not currently indexed" status for any pages?
I have a small website, like 16 pages right now. Trying to write good content and all, but I have two blog posts that are stuck in the status I mentioned and I just can't seem to get them out of it.
Google Search Console effectively has no resolution path for support issues. I think I just need to re-write the articles next, but taking a stab in the dark here since you posted something loosely relevant.
Anyways, good luck with continued growth!

Yes 😭 The "Discovered - Not currently indexed" is an issue we are currently running into, For example we are trying to get google to index our 1700 questions but we got that error that popped up and then when we redesigned the pages to have more text and content we resubmitted the validation and Google dropped every single page from the indexing pipeline. Super frustrating.
For now I would say just manually submit those URL's to google through the search bar on the top of the sitemap page. And google will index it.
For future context though it could be due to a number of issues
- Low site traffic
- Low site priority
- Not enough content on pages
It would be nice if Google provided support
