How to index blog page on google search console

---

1. Ensure Your Blog is Crawlable

• Check robots.txt:
• Go to yourdomain.com/robots.txt and ensure there’s no Disallow rule blocking your blog.
• Example of a bad rule: Disallow: /blog/ (this blocks all blog pages).
• Noindex Tag:
• Make sure your blog pages don’t have <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> in the HTML.

2. Submit Your Blog URL to Google Search Console

1. Go to Google Search Console
2. Enter your blog URL in the “URL Inspection” tool

• If the page isn’t indexed, click “Request Indexing”.

1. Submit a Sitemap (if you haven’t already)

• Go to Sitemaps in GSC and submit your sitemap.xml (e.g., yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml).

3. Optimize Long Articles for Indexing

Since your articles are long, Google might take time to index them fully. Improve crawlability with:

✅ Internal Linking:

• Link to the blog post from other high-traffic pages.
• Use descriptive anchor texts (e.g., “Learn how to index long articles on Google”).

✅ Break Content into Sections with Headers (H2, H3, H4):

• Helps Google understand structure.
• Example:
  ## How to Index Long Articles ### Step 1: Submit to Google Search Console ### Step 2: Optimize for Crawlability

✅ Use Schema Markup (Structured Data):

• Add Article or BlogPosting schema to help Google understand the content.
• Test with Google’s Rich Results Test.

✅ Improve Page Speed:

• Long articles = more load time. Use PageSpeed Insights to optimize.

✅ Add Images & Videos with Alt Text:

• Helps with indexing in Google Images.

4. Build Backlinks & Social Signals

• Share your blog post on social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook).
• Get backlinks from authority sites (guest posts, forums like Reddit, Quora).
• Internal links from older, indexed posts help Google discover new content faster.

5. Monitor Indexing Status

• Check GSC Coverage Report for errors (like “Crawled – not indexed”).
• If stuck, try:
• Resubmitting the URL.
• Adding more internal links.
• Updating the content (Google prefers fresh content).

Final Tip: Be Patient

• Google can take days to weeks to index long articles.
• If still not indexed after 2 weeks, check for technical issues (e.g., duplicate content, low-quality backlinks).

By following these steps, your long blog posts should get indexed and rank well in Google. 🚀
