I'm actually not sure what things I can add as context to the post.

[scarlet fossil]

Here's some context

• I've been trying to index my webpage on Google Search, have gone through every stage.
• There sitemap.xml on the website, and robots.txt too which allows google access to crawl my website.
• Waiting for atleast a week or more. Still google isn't crawling or indexing the website.
• I'm using a free subdomain service, only telling this because if that affects or so?

Your website is on search console? @scarlet fossil

[scarlet fossil]

yes

as I have already said, I tried everything I could do

[rare kraken]

Do you see any issues on search console?

[rare kraken]

If it dosent work, you probs messed up somewhere, send your website link here

[scarlet fossil]

hm, the project is currently in development, and i wouldn't be comfortable sharing it publicly, however I can dm you the link?

if that works?

[scarlet fossil]

no, did saw a issue about harmful content but i sent a requested review and it got fixed.

[rare kraken]

Sure

[scarlet fossil]

if sharing website isn't required, I can share the details with you without sharing the website? Would that work? I'm just so secretive or overthinks a lot.

I mean this would surely sound suspicious, but it isn't.

[rare kraken]

Uh, that's fine no need to send

Do you see the site when you do site:XYZ.com?

On google

[scarlet fossil]

I analysed my website on https://pagespeed.web.dev/ and the ratings for seo are great, it's green

[scarlet fossil]

yea did everything

[rare kraken]

Wdym did everything

It's a yes or no question lol

Do you see this, when you try your site

Yes or no

[scarlet fossil]

*i did everything and it just doesn't show

[scarlet fossil]

no

[rare kraken]

Ok, search console says it's indexed. Yes or no?

[scarlet fossil]

https://pagespeed.web.dev/ ratings

[scarlet fossil]

No

[rare kraken]

Page speed dosent matter much

[rare kraken]

Show your entire search console link report, blur your link if needed

[scarlet fossil]

URL Inspection?

[rare kraken]

Ok, and clicking on Request Indexing only says it's added to the priority list?

[scarlet fossil]

Yeah, it says the following.

URL was added to a priority crawl queue. Submitting a page multiple times will not change its queue position or priority. Learn more.

[rare kraken]

Hmmm, sorry then.. no idea. Your domain might be causing the issue since every single one of my websites on all of my domains get indexed in a few days

[scarlet fossil]

alright

it looks like this free crap doesn't gonna work anymore days

[rare kraken]

Yea, you using freenome or smthn?

[scarlet fossil]

one more thing I wanna ask is,

let my site be x.y.z

so when i use site:x.y.z it didn't returns anything

but when i use site:y.z it did provide other subdomains that other users made are being indexed but why not mine.

[scarlet fossil]

freenom doesn't work anymore, they got sued by facebook

[rare kraken]

Do you own y.z?

[scarlet fossil]

no

[rare kraken]

Oh lmao, haven't used them for years now.. ever since I got my own cloudflare domain

[scarlet fossil]

I'm using https://freedomain.one/

[rare kraken]

That's just Google indexing their site lol

And not yours

Don't use free domains, that's probs the issue ehre

Here

[scarlet fossil]

yea but why not mine 😢

[rare kraken]

.

Paid domains always work

[scarlet fossil]

If that's the issue, why google doesn't flag other websites?

if you know?

[rare kraken]

Google is pretty hard to plesse

[scarlet fossil]

I'm hosting my website on https://render.com/

[rare kraken]

It's like the wild west on seo

If Google likes you, your good

If it dosent.. your out

[scarlet fossil]

should I contact google support?

[rare kraken]

They have a 99% chance of not answering

But go for it

[scarlet fossil]

wouldn't they ban me for using free domains 😅

[rare kraken]

No clue

[rare kraken]

@scarlet fossil any updates?

[scarlet fossil]

no

i actually didn't applied 😅

just posted the post on Google search console community and sent a email to Google search console support team too

[rare kraken]

Kk

[scarlet fossil]

just got a reply, it seems i would need to create posts on some popular websites like reddit once my product releases so it can be indexed by Google EASILY.

[rare kraken]

Sure go for it
