Google Ignores New Content Sites After Plugin Switch

A web developer at ProContentStudio encountered an issue with their content site's SEO after switching to a new plugin. Despite making improvements, including better schema and cleaner sitemaps, Google still wouldn't index the newer articles.

The developer checked for duplicate content, thin content, crawl errors, and robots.txt issues, but found nothing wrong. They even tried requesting indexing manually and using instant indexing tools, to no avail.

A key turning point came when they published a new article and threw everything at it immediately, multiple internal links from established pages, direct outreach connected to the topic, and promotion on the same day it went live.

The article got indexed within about a day, which was the fastest turnaround seen. However, older pages that had already been worked on still haven't budged.
