Did you check on search console?

We’re facing the same issue and I asked John Mueller about it on Twitter—even though URLs are indexed, Google may decide to not show all of them but only the relevant ones—a stupid explanation since there are absolutely terrible articles (yes, studied them thoroughly) ranking for certain keywords whereas ours isn’t. A couple of hacky ways to fix this: • Delete the existing article, like trash it and de-index it. Then, re-publish the same article with some basic changes, under a different URL, add 4-5 interlinks and then index it again. • Add the above URL to IndexMeNow (indexing tool) and leave it there for a few days. We recovered about 80% of our articles through this method but it’s not absolute. Also, there’s nothing else you can do really because all those “SEOs” don’t know what the F they’re talking about. P.S.: Don’t @ me if you have opinions about this. It worked for me and hence I shared it! 🤷‍♂️

Another reason: There could also be an indexing issue at Google's end. This happens on & off. Then they do a PR on Twitter that there was indexing issue. So the problem might be on their end

Have you checked in GSC whether these URL's have got any impressions for any search queries?

hey @Deb Mukherjee I am hearing quite a lot about IndexMeNow - is it worth spending $0.82 for each URL? We were thinking of looking at alternatives as well
d
@Manvi Agarwal, it is and that's why I recommended it. But I can't guarantee results obviously!
m
True - agreed. Can't guarantee results for tools like these.
s
@Manvi Agarwal but no tool can solve the issue tbh.
Especially in general / internet marketing niches it's quite common
m
Makes sense, thanks :)

@Srikanth Chandrasekaran You can also face this issue if your content is not up to mark / nothing new to offer for the particular industry
s
Yep @Anubhav Narula It's usually due to content that does not offer any value
