Discovered - currently not indexed in Search Console
Google Crawlers have what we call crawling limit for any website in their library daily. So if this crawling limit is reached, your pages will not get indexed that day. If you publish about 15 articles daily, then few articles will be crawled that day and when the crawling limit is reached, then Google Crawlers will stop crawling the website that day. But your pages will how ever be discovered and still have that currently not indexed error.
This is a persisting issue that can get your site under-rated by Google and this isn't good for SEO equally. Before we head to the solution for this, let's talk on what makes Google to classify your pages as such.
Causes Discovered - currently not indexed error in Search Console
Google bots can access the Page and URL but there is an issue that makes Google not to index the page. These issues are of several types and you should know that the issue comes from your side and not Google's. The most known issues I've highlighted are;
- Little or no unique content
- Little or no Keywords
- Inappropriate content
Though there might be more reasons why Google does this to your webpages, I have highlighted the above three as the main reasons why Google Search classifies your webpages as Discovered - currently not indexed.
When we talk here of little or no unique content, it simply means that your content don't have a lot of words or materials for Google to classify that as a quality content. Google want to assure that their results are of quality in order to retain their users equally that why they Discover the page but they can't index the page for search result.
Little or no Keywords cause is somehow similar to the first cause but the thing here is Google does not find enough Keyword materials in your article for indexing. So they keep that in their Discovered library till they find a little change or update in the article before they index the page.
Inappropriate content simply means that the page has contents or materials that Google doesn't allow such as Copyrighted material, copies or clones of other pages (Plagiarism) and it is just obvious that Google can't value the concerned pages.
To fix and overcome all of this, checkout the fix section below.
How to Fix Discovered - currently not indexed error in Google Search Console
Since we've highlighted the major causes of this issue or error in Google Search Console, we can now give a solution or fix for all the causes of this known issue in search console.
1. Little or no unique content: Google has a way of seeing pages and obviously a page with 250 word count can't compare its quality with a page of 500 word count. But the situation may be different if the page with 250 word count has good qualities such as relevant keywords and distinctive contents. So make sure you write distinctive articles with relevant keywords for Google to see your pages as quality pages for search results.
2. Little or no Keyword: A keyword is a count of words that Google uses to rank webpages in order of quality. If you include a considerable amount of keywords in your article where necessary on the page, then I assure you that your page is going to be indexed within some hours and well ranked on search results. Be careful not to put much keywords if not your page will be depreciated by Google.
3. Inappropriate content: To overcome this, make sure you avoid copying contents online most especially images. If you use someone's image online, your page will not only never be indexed but your site authority will reduce and this will really affect your website SEO. Also, don't copy words on webpages online because even if the page eventually gets indexed, your page will be classified as low quality because the original content already exist on the web. The page will be a clone of the original.
When the above solution are applied, then your page will be indexed within some hours. I have and additional tip that is a trick I developed to get your webpage having this error indexed in just some little hours. Check it below.
