Hi all,
I have launched my forum a week ago, the forum has over 11 new threads and only the homepage has indexed by Google. What could be missing?
I have check robots.txt and have also set google search console.
Thanks
- Ahsan

Google works in mysterious ways… give it time, they have some web master tools perhaps look there.

Hi @sam
I did use “Fetch” option in Google Search Console. I will give it time though, already a week has passed ☹

Are you using HTTPS?

Do you see any crawler access in your statistics?

No I am afraid I do not see any crawler access.
Where can I find that by the way?

Hi @Ahsan_Parwez,
as already pointed your best bet is the google search console (previously known as GWT: google webmaster tools). Make sure there are no errors anywhere.
One week is nothing, especially for a new domain/site. If you have pretty much no content and no backlinks google might consider your page is not worth indexing beyond the home page.
So I would just verify the site is perfectly crawlable with no javascript, and concentrate on the community/content/backlinks and it will come with time.

Hi all,
The forum is now indexing, it took three days after Webmaster was configured and manually fetched.
