Implementation-first service

Fix "Discovered - currently not indexed"

When URLs are known but never make it cleanly into crawl priority, the break usually sits in discovery and prioritization: internal links, sitemap quality, URL promotion, crawl waste, or too many weak pages competing with the ones that matter.

Sprint shape

Clear scope before implementation, one controlled sprint, and written verification at the end.

The first pass is meant to move the actual problem, not generate vague theory or generic audits without implementation.

Typical issues

  • Coverage state stuck on Discovered - currently not indexed.
  • Pages known to Google but never prioritized for crawl.
  • Weak internal links or orphaned sections slowing discovery.
  • Noisy sitemaps full of duplicates, redirects, or low-value URLs.
  • Launches or taxonomy changes that created more crawl paths than the site can support cleanly.
  • Important URLs competing with filter, archive, or low-priority pages.

Sharper symptoms

Start with the exact failure if it already has a name.

These narrower pages map the same service lane to a more specific failure path, input set, and first-sprint shape.

Send the issue

Common causes

This state usually means the page exists but the site is not making a strong enough case for crawl priority. Orphaned pages, weak hubs, noisy sitemaps, duplicate paths, and thin archive layers are the usual pattern.

The issue is less about persuading Google manually and more about reducing the noise around the pages that actually matter.

What I check first

  • Whether the affected pages are linked from strong in-site hubs.
  • Whether the sitemap is promoting too many duplicate, redirected, or low-priority URLs.
  • Whether the section has crawl-waste patterns from parameters, filters, or archives.
  • Whether healthy comparison pages in the same site are being promoted differently.

What the first sprint includes

  • Review of the affected section, template, or sitemap segment.
  • Discovery-layer cleanup priorities ranked by likely impact.
  • Implementation guidance or direct adjustments where the path is clear.
  • Verification steps for links, sitemaps, and crawl-priority signals.

What I need from you

Send the affected URLs or page type, the exact Search Console state, the sitemap URL, and what changed recently if the problem followed a launch, archive expansion, or template change.

Best-case context is one sample that should be crawled quickly, one sample that is stuck, and the section of the site where the discovery path seems weakest.

What you get

A focused cleanup of the discovery layer so the right pages are promoted more clearly, crawl waste is reduced, and the next recrawl has a stronger technical reason to pick the intended URLs first.

Best fit

Sites where the issue is concentrated in a section, page type, or post-launch state that can be improved without turning the work into a full-site rewrite.

Price expectation

The first step should feel like a fixed sprint, not a vague audit.

Most work starts as a fixed first sprint after the issue is reviewed.

  • Small diagnostics usually start around $350.
  • Focused technical SEO, tracking, indexing, or speed sprints commonly land between $650 and $1,500+.
  • Larger implementation or recovery work is scoped separately once the first failure path is clear.
  • If you need a $99 SEO audit, this is not the right fit.
  • If something technical is suppressing indexing, speed, crawl, tracking, or rollout recovery, send the URL, what changed, and the exact symptom.

Have the symptom and the context?

Send the URL, what changed, and where the break shows up. If the issue is sharp enough, the first reply should turn into a bounded sprint instead of a broad package.
