Google doesn't index products pages?

  • Hello everyone!
    I’ve searched for answers on this problem and have not found out an answer yet.

    I made site and later on added an online shop with woocommerce where I have some products. I haven’t yet added their cost etc. because for the time being I use it as a catalogue.

    The problem now is that Google does not index the products. When I search for them they don’t exist (or are 10+ pages later which is less than ideal). I have submitted a sitemap (generated by a plugin) that does include said products.
    Google did index the rest of the pages but seemingly refuses to do so with the products, which is the main reason of the site. Two weeks or so have passed since I submitted the sitemap (re-submitted it various times since then) but still no success.
    I used a custom page for products since I wanted a particular look for the shop page.Is it possible that this is the reason the products don’t get indexed? I used a SEO plugin to add meta tags, title, description etc and thought that would be enough, but has not helped at all.
    Also in Google Analytics when I look at the Content Keywords, the keywords that relate to the products have very low significance and don’t even show the actual product page as Top URLs.

    Is this a Woocommerce problem or am I posting this in the wrong place? Please help me on this. Thank you for your time.

    Here is the link to the page. Products are in Greek, but I have translated some of the pages, if that helps.

  • hi,
    i have the same problem.
    my blog pages or portfolio pages have been indexed in few hours.
    my main part of the website https://www.usedmarblegranitemachines.com
    is not yet indexed after 3 months.
    it’s based on woocomerce but
    50% of the products are machines with no price because it’s not possible to buy them directly by credit card (so it’s just a catalog) and
    the other 50% are eshop products for ecommerce.
    could be this the problem?
    I’m getting crazy

    did you fix the problem in some way?
    take care

    I don’t think WC can block google. Check your SEO plugin, .htaccess file, make sure pages are indexable, use the XML sitemap etc etc.

    hi Mike,
    thank you for your reply.
    I really did what you suggest, but still no solution.
    regular pages rank very very good, product pages are ignored by google….
    I’m worrying something is wrong in the website because this is strange, or it is not?

    Google has tools to check if pages are indexable. maybe it just doesn’t like your content :p
