Google Not Indexing Blog Pages
I’ve written 3 blog posts for my client, and Bing has crawled and indexed all 3 pages. However, Google for some reason won’t index these pages even though I manually submit them in GSC for the past week. I’ve checked for NOINDEX tags, the robots.txt file, I’ve submitted the blog home in GSC to be crawled again and manually linked out to a blog on the homepage, but Google still won’t index this content. Is there another step that I’m not thinking about?

Google manages billions of information. If you respected the SEO writing rules it is a matter of time. Click on it and share it on social to start advising that your posts exist

Force crawl the url in webmaster tools to see if there’s any issues. Otherwise it might just be a matter of time

Hop on search console and see what’s wrong. You can submit a site map in the search console also — and if there are crawl issues it would let you know.
If all fails and you can’t figure out why the bot won’t crawl those pages then you can try posting to the google bot forum (in google groups). I’ve received surprisingly good feedback for my questions and got responses within a day over there. Good luck!

Not sure how long you’ve been waiting but often it really is just a time thing. Sounds like you’ve checked all of your boxes-especially if you linked it to the homepage which presumably has been crawled. Give it a few more days and then repeat your steps and hope that kicks G in the pants. It can be SO frustrating-I get it. Good luck!

Welcome to the club, it is taking a while to get post indexed these days. Google is giving priority to sites with high authority. It took me a month to get one of my post indexed after submitting to GSC 3 times. You can also try other indexing services too, and send some social signals to the blog posts to let Google knows people are interested in your articles.

Google has no unlimited resources. So you should keep waiting for crawling and indexing.

Hi,wait some time or check the sandbox for the domain block list…

Few of my clients posts are getting index and few of them are struggling. Even GSC is not helpful.
Might be some changes going on at Google end, we never know.
You can try building some quality links.
