WordPress Indexing: Check Access Before Requesting a Crawl
Publishing a WordPress post does not guarantee its inclusion in Google Search. First check that the intended public page is accessible and suitable for indexing, then use Search Console to understand the reported state.
Inspect the actual public URL
Open the page without an admin session. Check its response, visible content and final destination. Review whether an accidental password, maintenance screen or indexing instruction prevents the intended public version from being processed.
Review WordPress and SEO settings
WordPress documents a search-engine visibility setting in Reading settings. Review that control together with page-level SEO settings and the actual output. Do not remove a deliberate privacy or noindex choice merely because it prevents indexing.
Use the relevant diagnostic
Inspect the exact URL in Search Console and address the reported issue. Check that internal navigation or a sitemap provides a reasonable discovery route. A sitemap submission and a recrawl request are signals for discovery, not proof of inclusion.
Give the request its proper scope
Google documents URL Inspection requests for a few changed URLs and sitemaps for broader changes. Repeated requests do not make crawling faster. Keep a record of the correction and subsequent status instead of buying a promise of instant guaranteed indexing.
