Write the reason you're deleting this FAQ

I wanted to revamp my website then I moved into a new theme and recreate the whole website. After that I posted a few articles and manually requested indexing from Google search Console like I usually do. And when I check back again I says that pages are not indexed. I checked in the pages section on the GSC. And newly added pages are not in there either.

What is the problem here and how can I index my articles again.. Please help I'm really helpless here...

Are you using redirection or are there any dead links that you missed?

If your newly added pages are not indexing on Google after revamping your website, here are the possible reasons and solutions:

Possible Issues & Fixes:

Check "Crawlability" in Robots.txt
- Go to
  yourwebsite.com/robots.txt
  and ensure it does not block Google from indexing your pages.
- If you see
  Disallow: /
  , remove it.
[/*]
Inspect URL in Google Search Console
- Use URL Inspection Tool in GSC to check if Google can crawl the page.
- If it says "URL is not on Google," request indexing again.
[/*]
Check Noindex Meta Tag
- In your website’s source code, look for:
  
  html
  
  CopyEdit
  
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
- If present, remove it so Google can index your pages.
[/*]
Submit an Updated Sitemap
- In GSC → Sitemaps, remove the old sitemap and add a new one (e.g.,
  yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml
  ).
[/*]
Increase Internal Links
- Link the new pages from older indexed pages to help Google discover them.
[/*]
Improve Page Authority
- Share the URLs on social media, forums, and blogs to get external signals.
[/*]
Wait for Google to Recrawl
- Sometimes, Google takes days to weeks to index new content. Keep checking GSC.

If you've tried all these and still face issues, let me know your website URL, and I can check further! ????

A few common culprits when new pages won't index even after manual submission:

1. Check if the pages are actually in your sitemap.xml and that the sitemap is submitted in Search Console

2. Look for a stray "noindex" tag left over from the theme migration — this happens a lot after a redesign

3. Check internal linking — pages with zero internal links pointing to them get crawled far less often

4. If it's a brand new site or fresh domain, indexing can just take longer regardless of what you do

If it's specifically after a theme change, I'd double check the robots.txt and meta robots tags first — that's the most common cause post-migration.
