Why aren't my Webflow blog posts showing in Google search results despite taking all necessary SEO measures?

TL;DR
  • Check Google Search Console for indexing issues using the URL Inspection Tool.
  • Ensure noindex tags are not enabled in Webflow Project Settings or Page Settings.
  • Strengthen internal linking from key pages like the homepage and other blog posts.
  • Submit or resubmit your sitemap in Google Search Console.
  • Verify robots.txt and canonical tags to ensure they aren’t blocking indexing.
  • Ensure Google can crawl your site and remove any password protections or restrictions.
  • Improve content quality by making it original, engaging, and valuable.

If your Webflow blog posts aren’t appearing in Google search results, even after applying proper SEO practices, several factors could be causing the issue.

1. Ensure Pages Are Indexed

  • Check Google Search Console to see if your blog posts are indexed.
  • Use the URL Inspection Tool to check individual URLs.
  • If pages are marked “Crawled - Currently Not Indexed” or “Discovered - Currently Not Indexed”, they might need more time or have quality issues.

2. Remove Noindex Tags

  • Go to Webflow Project Settings > SEO and ensure Disable Subpage Indexing is NOT enabled.
  • In Page Settings, verify that the Meta Robots Tag does not contain noindex.

3. Improve Internal Linking

  • Ensure blog posts are linked from key areas like the homepage, category pages, and other blog articles.
  • Google prioritizes pages that have strong internal linking.

4. Check Sitemap Submission

  • Confirm your sitemap (e.g., yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) is submitted in Google Search Console.
  • Resubmit the sitemap manually if needed under Indexing > Sitemaps.

5. Inspect Robots.txt and Canonicals

  • Check Project Settings > SEO > robots.txt to ensure valid configurations.
  • Avoid conflicting canonical tags in your Webflow SEO settings that might be preventing indexing.

6. Ensure Google Can Crawl Your Site

  • Use Google's URL Inspection Tool for any crawl errors or blocked resources.
  • If using password protection or restrictive firewall settings, remove them.

7. Improve Content & User Engagement

  • Low-quality or copied content can prevent indexing. Ensure your posts are original, in-depth, and valuable.
  • Use rich media (images, videos) and structured data for better visibility.

Summary

Check for indexing issues, noindex settings, sitemap submission, robots.txt conflicts, and internal linking. If blog posts remain unindexed, try fetching them in Google Search Console and improving content quality.
