Apologies if this is a recurrent Topic.
I have had a website on Webflow for about 2 months (link: Aello.io) which has some traffic as shown by GA4 (about 10 users per day).
I have a proper sitemap (automatic), robots.txt and submitted the page for indexing several times through verifying the property with a google ID and DNS property.
Neither google or bing has managed to index the page.
Any suggestions?
Generally all you can do is the basics;
Assuming that’s all green-lights, you should actively promote it on other sites and services to increase its credibility, that will be essential for your long-game SEO.
In particular, because you’re playing with robots.txt, if you ever had the setting incorrect, and Google indexed those incorrect settings ( like Disallow: / ), then you have to find that setting in GSC and re-request Google specifically to recheck robots.txt.
Robots.txt was created, sitemap.xml was submitted and GSC has been setup for a week.
We’ll see…
A week is nothing, I’ve seen between 2 and 6 months before Google shows good indexing results. That seems to be faster if you’re also doing adwords.
Check that Bing error though, you may have something misconfigured.
Hey @memetican, bumping as the page has been online for 6 months and is still not indexed. I had submitted the sitemap to google, requested indexing but still nothing… it has traffic too on google analytics!
Thanks
If those check out, than the problem is that your signal strength is low. Google is much pickier now about what sites it indexes, it wants to see good SEO, good activity with new pages added regularly, and lots of good backlinks from good sources.
Without those signals of useful, valuable content, it won’t index.
Hi mate,
Try going into the SEO settings and update your global canonical tag to include www.
Screaming frog showing your canonical elements don’t include www. but that version of the url is redirect to www. So not indexable
Then go back and resubmit sitemap and request indexing.
Hope this works
Thank you so much! Really appreciated.
I see that your website is still not indexed 
. For you, and any other users reading this that may be experiencing a similar problem, here are a few steps you can try:
If you’re having trouble indexing your Webflow site, try these steps in order:
Check for “noindex” tags: Use the Detailed plugin to see if your URL is marked as “noindex”. If so, remove this setting in Webflow and resubmit for indexing.
Review your robots.txt file: In Webflow, go to Project Settings > SEO. Ensure there’s no blocking directive for the page you want to index.
Verify the URL is accessible: Make sure you’re not redirecting from the URL you’re trying to index. Check your canonical URL in Project Settings > SEO and adjust if needed // Just as Sam_W mentioned.
Request manual URL index on Google Search Console: Manually submit your URL for indexing. Use the “URL Inspection” tool to check if your page is indexable, then click “Request Indexing”.
If these steps don’t work after 48 hours, consider these additional checks:
• Check if other pages on your domain are indexed (using site:yourdomain.com on Google search). If they are, focus on getting a few links to this specific page to increase relevance.
• If no pages are indexed, your domain might be penalized. Check archive.org to see if the domain’s previous content might have caused issues, and if you believe that is the case try using a different domain extension (e.g., .co instead of .com) to test if the issue is domain-specific.
P.S. 1: I saw you are using one of our templates (Job Board X from BRIX Templates), super cool 
!
P.S. 2: If any other person is having a similar problem and needs help, please feel free to get in touch to our Webflow agency and one of our SEO experts will be happy to help with this or any other SEO-related issues with your Webflow site.
Good luck!
Hey @maurosicard and @Sam_W , thank you very much for the steps you recommended.
Unfortunately, I followed them a couple weeks ago, but Google has still not indexed any of the pages.
I’m a little lost with what else it could be and the content on the page has always been very friendly with SEO with nothing weird or potentially flaggable.
Any ideas?
Best,
Hey Julian,
Your homepage is indexed, but that appears to be the only page.
Are you seeing any errors in GSC?
Typically it will have some information on why pages aren’t indexed, make certain to click into the details. DM me if you want me to have a look, you can invite me to your GSC to see if I can spot anything.
You might check blacklists to see if the domain has any issues that would cause Google to avoid it. Keep working on building the signal as well- new blog articles, updated content, backlinks… Google needs to know your site is alive and has value.
No errors in GSC of aello.io and I have submitted the others for indexing too. I can see the homepage is indexed but it does not show on google.
No blacklists from what I have checked.
Your homepage is showing;
From what I can see you just have a lot of SEO work to do- analysis, content writing, backlinking, etc.
