Google Not Indexing Your Site: Coverage, Canonicals, and the Sitemap
Discovered-not-indexed, noindex leftovers, and sitemaps that 404. We make the pages Google can actually fetch.
Indexation is a fetch problem first
If robots.txt Disallows the money pages, or the canonical points at a staging host, Google is doing what you asked.
Common own-goals
X-Robots-Tag noimageindex on the whole site. SPA that 200s every path with the homepage title. Sitemap that is an HTML catch-all. noindex on privacy that Google’s quality rater still wants to see.
What we ship
Allow /, sitemap.xml with real loc, unique title/description per URL, canonical on the public host, JSON-LD, OG 1200×630.
ASAP vs long SEO
We can make the site eligible to be indexed today. Articles and GBP are how local businesses get found after that — Oniyore writes those on retainers.
Questions
- Can you guarantee rankings?
- No honest vendor does. We guarantee crawlable HTML, a real sitemap, and no accidental noindex. Rank is earned after that.
- Do I need Search Console access?
- It speeds the proof. We can still fix robots, canonicals, and sitemap without it, then you submit.
