WordPress Indexing Issue Fix
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
My WordPress site has a frustrating problem: Google Search Console keeps showing that several pages are simply not indexed, yet I haven’t touched any settings or content that could have triggered this. I’d like a fresh set of eyes to step in, diagnose the root cause, and get every legitimate page back into Google’s index.
Here’s what you’ll be doing
• Audit the site in Search Console, verify coverage reports, and pinpoint why the pages are excluded.
• Inspect technical items—robots.txt, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, meta robots directives, and server response codes—to make sure nothing blocks Googlebot.
• If needed, clean up any stray no-index tags or conflicting Yoast (or similar) settings.
• Submit fixes and request re-indexing, then confirm in Search Console that pages are finally picked up.
Acceptance criteria
• Previously excluded URLs show “Indexed” status in Google Search Console coverage within a reasonable re-crawl window.
• No critical crawl errors remain after the update.
• A concise summary report outlines what was changed and why.
I can grant temporary WordPress admin and Search Console access as soon as we agree on next steps, and I’m happy to test or validate anything you recommend. Let’s get these pages visible again.
Then I will look to hire SEO expert to have it dominate Google:
