Page Discovered but Not Indexed (Fix)
If you are using Blogger (Blogspot) and your pages show “Discovered – Currently Not Indexed” in Google Search Console, this guide will help you fix it the right way.
This issue is very common on Blogger websites, especially new blogs.
🔍 What Does “Discovered – Currently Not Indexed” Mean?
It means:
Google found your URL
But Google has not crawled or indexed it yet
Google usually discovers Blogger posts through:
Sitemap
Internal links
Feed URLs
This is not an error or penalty.
❌ Why Blogger Pages Are Not Indexed
1️⃣ Thin Content (Biggest Blogger Problem)
Blogger blogs often suffer from:
Short posts (300–500 words)
Rewritten or copied content
AI-generated low-value text
Google delays indexing such pages.
✅ Fix:
Write 800–1200+ words, add images, FAQs, and real value.
2️⃣ Blogger Feed & Label URLs
Blogger automatically creates:
/feeds/
/search/label/
Parameter URLs
These confuse Google’s crawl budget.
3️⃣ Weak Internal Linking
Most Blogger users don’t interlink posts.
No internal links = low indexing priority.
4️⃣ New Domain or Low Authority
New Blogger sites have:
Low crawl frequency
Limited trust
Google indexes slowly at first.
✅ How to Fix “Discovered – Currently Not Indexed” on Blogger
🔹 Step 1: Improve Post Quality
Before requesting indexing:
Add original explanation
Use H2 & H3 headings
Include 1–2 images
Answer search intent fully
💡 Blogger favors human-written, helpful content.
🔹 Step 2: Fix Robots.txt (Blogger Only)
Go to Blogger → Settings → Crawlers & Indexing → Custom robots.txt
Use this safe Blogger robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /feeds/
Sitemap: https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
⚠️ Replace yourblog with your real URL.
🔹 Step 3: Submit Sitemap Correctly
Submit this in Google Search Console:
https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
Do NOT submit:
/feeds/posts/default
Label URLs
🔹 Step 4: Strengthen Internal Linking
Inside every post:
Link to 2–3 old posts
Link from old posts to new post
Use keyword-rich anchor text
This alone can fix indexing issues.
🔹 Step 5: Request Indexing (Manual)
Use URL Inspection in Search Console:
Paste post URL
Click Request Indexing
Do this once only per post.
🔹 Step 6: Share on Google Properties
Blogger responds well to:
Google Sites
Google Groups
YouTube community posts
Even one Google-owned signal helps indexing.
⏳ How Long Does Blogger Indexing Take?

New blogger 7-30 days
