Over the past year, four websites I built and currently host on a dedicated server at WPEngine did not get indexed for months post launch. and so we hired an SEO consultant to get them indexed. Communication hasn't been the best so I am not sure what, if anything, was the common thread. But since I appear to be an obvious common thread - I built them, I host them - I am concerned.
The sites don't seem to have any overarching configuration problems, but they are all new domains, thin content, and not a lot of backlinks. I thought these were reasons enough for Google to overlook a website. I checked with WPEngine who said there has been no throttling or rate limiting . One IP was on an abuse list but they got it removed last week.
I'm just really concerned that this has happened four times this year. I am trying to learn from the SEO consultant but it just seems weird that I'd need a consultant to force these sites to be indexed. Is it weird? What am I missing?
