"Crawled - currently not indexed" means Google crawled the page but made an editorial decision not to include it in the index. Unlike "Discovered," Google has actually seen this page - it just chose not to index it.
Common Reasons Google Does Not Index a Page
- Thin content - The page has too little text or unique information
- Duplicate content - Very similar to another page on your site or elsewhere on the web
- Low quality signals - Poor E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
- No clear purpose - Pages that are auto-generated or serve only navigation purposes
- Soft 404 - Page appears empty or returns an error message with a 200 status code
How to Fix It
- Significantly improve the content depth and uniqueness
- Consolidate thin pages into one comprehensive page
- Add structured data, images, and rich content
- If the page is not important, redirect it to a better page or return a 404
- Use canonical tags if the page is a duplicate of another
