          The new Google Search Console gives a ton of information about which pages were excluded and why, but one that I'm struggling with is "crawled - currently not indexed". I have some clients that have fallen into this pit and I've identified one reason why it's occurring on some of them - they have multiple websites covering the same information (local businesses) - but others I'm completely flummoxed.

          Does anyone have any experience figuring this one out?

                @dalerio-consulting what should can we do with excluded section then. let say this page of my website is under duplicate canonical tag in excluded section. then should i leave it if its not very serious or should i request indexing ? Are these excluded pages issues very serious to take?

                  Hey Brett!

                  Basically what we believe this status means is Google saying "I can crawl and access the URL but I don't believe this page belongs in the index". They key here is to figure out why Google might not believe the page should be considered for indexation. We analyzed a good number of Index Coverage reports across all of our different clients.

                  Here are the most commons reasons URLs get reported as "Crawled - Currently Not Indexed":

                  1. False positives
                  2. RSS Feed URLs
                  3. Paginated URLs
                  4. Expired products
                  5. 301 redirects
                  6. Thin content
                  7. Duplicate content
                  8. Private-facing content

                  You can find a breakdown of each reason on the post we wrote here: https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/crawled-currently-not-indexed-coverage-status

                  However, there's likely many more reasons why Google does't think the page is eligible for indexation.

                    Crawled - Currently not indexed is the most common way for pages or posts on your site not to be indexed. It is also the most difficult one to pinpoint because it happens for a multitude of reasons.

                    Google needs computing power to analyze each website. How it works is that Google assigns a certain crawl budget to each site, and that crawl budget determines how many pages of your site will be indexed. Google will always index your top pages, therefore, the excluded pages are of less quality rank-wise.

                    Every website has pages that are not indexed, and the healthy ratio of non-indexed pages will depend on the niche of the website.

                    There are however 2 ways for you to get your pages out of the "Crawled - Currently not indexed" pit:

                    • Decrease the number of pages/posts. It's a matter of quality v quantity, so make sure that put more attention into linking every new post so that they get indexed in no time. Don't forget to utilize robots.txt to block pages that aren't useful to the site from indexing so that the crawl budget can be assigned to the other posts.
                    • Increase the crawl budget. You can do that by raising the quality of the pages/posts. Make more internal and external backlinks for your posts and homepage, make sure that the articles are unique and keyword-optimized, and work hard to aim so that each article will rank on that first page.

                    SEO is a tough business, but if managed carefully, over time it will pay off.

                        Hi There,

                        Google has been struggling to eliminate spam pages, content and structurally ordering them; this is an inherent problem especially with badly structured e-commerce websites.

                        You might be aware that "Crawled - Currently Not Indexed"  means that your page(s) has been found by Google but it is not currently indexed, this might not be an error, just that your pages are in a queue. That might be due to the following reasons:

                        • There are a lot of pages to index, so it's going to take Google some time to get through them and mark them as either indexed or not.
                        • There might be duplicate pages / canonical issues for the website of the pages. Google might be seeing a lot of duplicate pages without canonical tags on your site, to improve the number of pages indexed you need to either improve pages so they are no longer duplicated or add canonical tags to help Google attribute it to the correct page

                        You need to justify each and every page for their merits, and then let google decide whether it think it should be available in their search and also against what keywords at what rank. To summarise, just help 'Google search' by structuring your data right, it might reward you by ranking your pages at right places for the right keywords.Thanks and Regards,Vijay

                          Search Console > Status > Index Coverage > Crawled - currently not indexed

                          Yes, I had the same Issues last month, in my case the crawler took it 6 weeks to update the Index Coverage. And apparently, there are not too many things that you can do it about it.

                          Regards

                            Does Search Console data include GMB traffic? Branded CTR is 37.8%- Good or Bad?

                            Hey all, Per Search Console our branded keyword CTR is 37.8%.  But when that keyword is searched our GMB listing shows up on top of the #1 result. For the same 90 day period GMB shows another 35% visits to our GMB (based on the number of impressions and visits to our GMB page) listing when the same keyword is searched. My question is this. Does Search console data include clicks that came from our GMB listing or not? My thinking is like this: If GMB traffic is not calculated in search console then it means that 72.8% of people looking for our brand will end up on our site on way or another 9organic #1 result plus GMB listing visits) We are also doing PPC for this very keyword that has gets almost 20% of the remaining traffic.  So after adding all up we are loosing about 8% of our branded traffic to people who are doing adwords. When you search our brand you normally see 2, 3 competitor's adwords ads. Does anyone know how this works exactly? And if you don't mind sharing your branded keyword CTR's,  so I can compare to ours please. I would love to compare to a site that actually has a GMB listing ranking for the same keyword Thanks in advance, Davit

                            Need help with my "ghost" blog...

                            ...when I fired my original web designer, did they sabotage coding?  I have never checked my Alexa/Google Analytics, or any blog ranking until last night.  Subsequently, I have spent the last 24 hours googling away, and finally joining MOZ b/c I'm desperate to find out WHY I'm not ranking.   I've googled and found many answers to a problem directly opposite of mine: (How to increase traffic with a high ranking), but I already have quite a bit of traffic (via Wordpress Stats), but can not be found on any ranking system.  So, fiddled with some NoFollow/NoIndex boxes in Genesis SEO settings thinking maybe when my domain name changed it messed everything up?  Most the boxes HAD been checked, so I unchecked them all. Anyhow, basically signed up for the monthly service so i could ask this question on the forum.   My site is hellowhitney.com **it's so weird---i have a LOT of organic direct hits coming directly to my blog (for instance a celebrity re-posted a post which gained a lot of traffic from Twitter to the page), but Google nor another ranking is seeing it.  IN FACT, it stops any and all ranking data back to FEBRUARY 2016 when I changed my domain name from Myscriptedreality.com to HelloWhitney.com Ignorance is NOT bliss in this case--would appreciate any help! #ForeverGrateful

                            Google Analytics Organic Search Keywords Suddenly Displaying FulL Urls

                            In my Google Analytics, the top keywords for Organic Search are suddenyl displaying full URLs. For example, now the third and fourth keywords are http://www.domain.com/highly-specific-URL. These have all started recently around the same day, July 12th. I've checked back, and we've made no internal changes to the site around that time that could affect this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! P.S. It might be related to rich snippets, but I cannot tell at this point.

                            We are seeing Google Analytic's drop transaction on our site so therefore all the figures are skewed. Is there a way I can manually add transactions to GA to cover the missing one?

                            Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

                            Since the launch of our newly designed website about 6 months ago, we are experiencing a high number of 500 server errors (>2000). Attempts to resolve these errors have been unsuccessful to date. We have just started to notice a consistent and sustained drop in rankings despite our hard sought efforts to correct. Two questions... can very high levels of 500 errors adversely effect our google rankings? And, if this is the case,  what type of specialist (what are they called) has expertise to investigate and fix this issue. I should also mention that the sitemap also goes down on a regular basis, which some have stated is due to the size of the site (>500 pages). Don't know if they're part of the same problem? Thanks.
