Pages Not Getting Crawled or Indexed by Google (No Errors in GSC)

Hey everyone,

I’m facing a strange issue with my clothing store website.

  • Google Search Console shows only the generic pages (Home, About, Contact) as crawled/indexed.
  • Product pages and blogs are not getting crawled at all, despite being linked directly from the homepage and also internally between each other.
  • In GSC, when I run a live test on these pages, it says they can be crawled and can be indexed, but nothing happens. No error, no crawling, no indexing.
  • I even uploaded a blog, submitted it, and linked it from an external guest blog on Medium, but still no crawl or index.

One odd thing I noticed:
When I test a product/blog URL on validator schema org, it says:

“The URL was not found. Make sure the domain name is correct and the server is responding with a 200 status code.”

But no other crawler or tool shows an error -- everything else fetches fine.

I’m not sure if this is a crawl budget/authority issue (new site, low backlinks), or if something technical is silently blocking Google from actually crawling/indexing product/blog pages.

Has anyone faced this before? Is there a chance something in the setup (server config, canonical tags, schema setup, robots) is silently preventing crawling, even though GSC says pages are fine?

Any pointers would be appreciated 🙏

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
