If your pages aren't indexed on Google, they're never gonna rank. I see so many of you publishing blog posts, link building, maybe even hiring an agency, and you haven't even checked this one thing. And honestly, this is a big reason why I created the SEO Clinic, because most of you have no idea what's really going on with your website.
So Google has an index, which is like a library full of the website pages they show in search results. Most people are just assuming their pages show up here. That's not how it works, especially if your site is new or doesn't get a lot of traffic.
Here's how you can check your pages are in that index. Go to Google and type in site followed by your domain. This is gonna show you all the pages on your website that Google has indexed.
If you're missing any, you need to use Google Search Console to find out why. Go to pages and then scroll down to why pages aren't indexed. This is literally Google telling you what is wrong.
Every missing page should be sitting under one of these reasons. I literally break down what these reasons mean and how to fix them in Module 1 of the SEO Clinic. That is how fundamental it is to get this right.
