For a new website, the best first step is to request indexing of your homepage, which should start Google crawling your website. The pages should be linked from somewhere known to Google: from other known pages: from your homepage, from other known pages on your site, from other sites, or from a sitemap. In an urgent situation, or if waiting doesn't seem to be working,В youВ can explicitly ask Google to crawlВ individual pages. If your site or page is new, wait a few days for Google to find and crawl it. It can take a week or so for Google to start crawling and indexing a new page or site. If the total URL count in this report is much smaller than your site's page count, then Google isn't finding pages on your site. Is Google finding most of your URLs? The report shows all the URLs that Google knows about on your site, whether or not they are indexed.(Note that the list of example URLs in the report is limited to 1,000 items, and isn't guaranteed to show all URLs in a given status, even when less than 1,000 items.) Check the index status of your homepage and key pages using the URL Inspection tool. Is Google indexing the most important URLs on your site? The Index coverage report isn't used to check individual URLs, but you can filter results to show only the valid URLs, then see if your important URLs are listed.If not, fix them according to the documentation for the specific excluded status. Make sure that the reasons your pages are excluded are acceptable. Duplicate pages are also excluded (Google only indexes one version of a set of duplicate pages). Reasons for exclusion mean that the page is explicitly blocked from indexing (for example, a robots.txt rule on your site, or a noindex tag on the page).

Are the gray (excluded) URL reasons what you expect? Excluded URLs are not indexed, but we think that's probably not an error.However, how much time you want to spend fixing indexing errors depends on how important the page is to your site. Are few (if any) URLs red (error)? Error URLs are almost always a problem.Are most of the URLs green (valid) and/or gray (excluded)? Your site should be mostlyВ valid and excluded pages: Valid, because these pages are in the index Excluded, because Search Console thinks those URLs are excluded from the index for a reason that you can agree with.To find the index status of a specific page, use the URL Inspection tool. The report is not useful for investigating the index status of specific pages. Use this report is used to understand the general indexВ status of your site.If this report says zero valid pages (or zero pages of any status) see the troubleshooting section.

If you get no search results, then look at this report to verify whether your site truly has zero indexed pages.

site:> term1 term2 - Search for indexed pages containing specific terms on your site.

site: > - See a subset of pages that Google knows about on your site.

Instead, use one of the following Google searches to see if your site is indexed:
