Why it matters
Search Console tells you a page is "not indexed" but not what to do. IndexPedia reads each page, its links and its text, and names the one change that matters most.
Most reasons are in the page's code, so Auto-fix can fix them: a "don't index me" tag, a page that names another page as the main one, or a page that nothing Google knows links to.
Before you start
- Google Search Console connected, so Google's own answer is known for each page
- A connected website for the fixes to go live
Step by step
- 1
Open the Google page
Every page Google has not indexed is listed with the one reason that matters most.
Your site›Google›Get these pages into Google - 2
Start with the first group
Groups are ordered by what blocks the most: "don't index me" tags and wrong main addresses come first.

Press the fix button
Allow pages in Google, make pages name themselves, or add links from pages Google already has. Each opens the side-by-side review.

Send the rest to Google and Bing
Pages Google has not visited yet are sent to Bing at once, and your sitemap goes to Google again.

Do the to-dos
Pages with too little text or near copies need your own words. The guide for each problem says exactly what to add.

If something goes wrong
- Google still has not indexed a fixed page
- Google decides when to come back. The proof steps show when it visits; most pages follow within days to a few weeks.
- Add links reached only some pages
- Each page gets at most 8 new links, and only pages Google already has can link. Press the button again after Google takes the first ones.
- The whole site is barely indexed
- Then the cause is the site as a whole. Links from other websites and fewer, stronger pages help most.
What to do next
Check back after the next run: pages that Google took in move to "Got into Google" with the date.
