Hi everyone,
I am Nicholas Perry, Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships at WMF. Following up on Jorge's previous email to add a summary of Google's recent response to this issue, which was originally shared by Suman on this Phabricator ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325607.
---- The web is really large and the search index can simply not include every single page. A page that otherwise has no problems may not be indexed for a myriad of complex reasons, for instance if the indexing process determines that the page is unlikely to be requested in search. This is in line with the Search Central documentation that states: "Google doesn't guarantee that it will crawl, index, or serve your page, even if your page follows the Google Search Essentials." ----
Google also shared a document containing resource links, which can be found in the Phabricator ticket. They also encouraged people to submit any questions and attend their SEO Office Hours (https://developers.google.com/search/help/office-hours), with the caveat that Google might not be able to answer all questions in a given instance.
Best,
Nicholas _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/...
