I Search console in my testing makes me think that search console plugs into the crawling system - the API is plugged directly into the indexing system - so I more recommend not doing it because most people still use it and it's a waste of time for new content. For edited already served...

When Google is working within 24 hours you'll see Search Console says "Indexed" and then another 24 to confirm that Google has served it - right now - and the Dec 2022 Helpful Content just was announced - it might take a day or 2 more as they push out the processed data.

The only thing I would add to that is that in addition to using the API I specifically recommend for new content to NOT request via the search console request feature.

If you like - I will include a short run through in tomorrow's short video report from the research - Crawl or No Crawl Reports on Youtube - @crawlornocrawl - I do go through the Google Indexing API to bypass what is "broken" in the request indexation button in Search Console. The daily...

@jesslikescawfee - can you confirm where the drop occurred in October 2022? Might it have been on or around Oct 10th 2022?

Under the heading of "how does this happen", I have seen GBPs pop up out of nowhere and the only thing I could find was a lot of citations for it. As Phil said above, if you can suggest an edit that would be the likely way to get it removed. Good luck.

@Justin Mosebach sorry for the delay started a new project with a large client and then had some family business - I'm doing a live event next week - totally no charge - nothing to sell either, just trying to help as many people as I can and posting in different forums and facebook just takes...

I do hope you are not still having to deal with this - just in case - I have cracked the current code on it and will have a live event (completely a service to our seo community) if you want to get a heads up on date and time and zoom link - let me know - How To Get Pages Indexed into Google

FYI - next week I'm doing a live presentation to share the results and some updates and take questions - if you'd like to get a zoom link heads up on date and time (I'm not sure right now but it should be next week once we're into May) go here - How To Get Pages Indexed into Google

It's a full test review so that everything I say is backed up with repeated results. Synopsis - for new content do NOT submit via GSC indexation request - connect site into the Google Indexing API and IndexNow - only submit new content via indexing api at least for now. Initial questions are 90%...

Matt - I've been testing indexation for over 6 months - to figure out how to get new content indexed. - - this is a link to a video where I unpacked all the results and how to ask Google for new content to be indexed. I'm happy to answer any questions about the protocol and I'm still testing 3...

I've been working on indexation testing since August 28, 2021 - I have discovered some essential information about how to ask Google to index - I shared all my testing and what is working in an SEO Fight Club show. Feel free to watch it and I'll answer any questions you have once you have seen...

I can say from my and other's SEO testing - not experimenting, that google reads all the content in the accordion and treats it just like the untabbed content. Go for it.

Larry, it's not possible to diagnose from afar but I can tell you what I've seen consistently regardless of updates. And it's likely it's not that "one" thing as you probably already surmised. Google is constantly shifting the weight of importance on on-page factors or likely groups of factors...

I'm an seo tester which means I launch a couple of tests every day or 2. I have several Javascript tests running. Getting nada. Schema that tests valid is fine. Its not you, json is technically Javascript and right now google is not processing Javascript. I would say none of us can force Google...
