"Crawled, currently not indexed" is the #1 failure mode at PSEO scale. Google looks at your site, decides it is not worth indexing, and walks away. Hard to recover from.
The rules
- Publish ≤50 new pages per day for the first 30 days.
- Make sure every page is internally linked from at least one indexable page.
- Submit each batch to GSC as a separate sitemap.
- Watch the "Indexed" count daily. If indexation rate < 60% after 7 days, pause and audit.
- Quality > quantity. Pull weakest pages before publishing more.
If you are already in trouble
The journey
1
Stop publishing
Do not add more pages while you triage.
2
Identify the dead zone
GSC → Pages → Crawled not indexed. Read 20 of them.
3
Find the pattern
Thin content, near-duplicates, no internal links, all-template? It is usually one of those.
4
Fix the worst 200
Rewrite or noindex.
5
Resubmit
New sitemap of the fixed pages. Wait 14 days.
