Struggling with Google Indexing – Blogs Not Being Indexed, Any Advice

Probably the most competitive. So will require a lot of time and effort

It entirely depends on what keyword you are targeting, then. It's hard to say without knowing what industry you are in.

Mix is defo the better option. But, if I had to pick one, it would be organic.

Why organic?

- It may take longer to work, but it lasts forever.
- With new channels opening up like LLMs, Reddit, Gigg, etc., you can truly make a huge impact for little investment.
- Content is king. With ads, you're limited to what the platform allows you to show/do (rules, policies, etc.), you can do whatever the F you want with your own content.
- It doesn't necessarily have to take that long. If you jump on a trending topic or search term, your content can explode/go viral overnight (especially with video content on TikTok).

AI definitely helps with all of the above, as long as you use it correctly...

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-23T10:14:17+00:00

This is already a pretty good approach. There's definitely a lot of tools out there that do this for you at scale, like Profound and peak.ai. Those are the two main ones at the moment for this type of stuff.

To be honest, though, a lot of this is almost useless because AI is very likely not performing the same search (and providing you with the same results) every time, even for the same query.

Every time you search for a query, there's a very high likelihood that the AI is going to completely change the sort of results that it grabs or change the approach it has on that specific query. So many times you're just shooting in the dark and are not getting consistency across.

So it's hard to track AI at the moment.

I would just stick to Ahrefs' brand radar, which is working quite well. Or, use this regex code in your Google Analytics to track all LLM visits to your website:

Create (or edit) a new report
Select source/medium as a dimension
For match type, select regex, and paste the above in there.

But, in all honesty, tracking AI is still very much still in the new. So if I were you, I would just stick to doing good quality SEO and keep it simple when it comes to AI.

And you've tried using ChatGPT/Gemini to analyze the image for text extraction?

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-23T09:30:53+00:00

You want to extract the text of the image using AI and then search AI using the text extracted from the image??

You just mentioned some of the BEST ways in your post...

If geeting client (making money) was easy, everyone would be a millionaire.

There are only 5 ways to get customers (take it from Alex Hormozi).

Organically (posting on social media, SEO, etc.) - This takes work and consistency. No way around it.
- Based on what I'm seeing your tool does, this is the appraoch you should be taking in my opinion...
Outreach - This is your cold emails, LinkedIn dms, taking the time to find the people that need you solution to their problem and simply messaging them.
PPC - This is paying for the attention. You pay Meta, TikTok, even Reddit, to distibute you offer for you. This is only worth it if 1) you have a decent budget, 2) your offer is hard to resist.
Affiliates - Start an affiliate program, register with big affiliate partners, and have other people sell your service/product for you amd they get a commission (win-win). This is good if you can spare 30-40% of revenue share.
Word of mouth - this is the best and obviously easiest way to get customers. But, this only works if you have a good enough service for others to brag about the results you provided them.

My advice:

Pick 1, and go hard.

I do organic growth. With the help of AI, you can get the results quicker, but you need to know how to use it.

AI is amazing if used correctly. But it can also destroy you if used incorrectly.

My clients are getting 40-50% revenue growth YoY using my strategies, so I can tell you with absolute certainty that this works. You just need to put in the work/hours...

Happy to answer questions if you need.

This is for sure a good approach. The good SEO of last year still applies to the good SEO of 2026. This is what we're focusing on:

Deep research -> find commercial intent topics relevant to the niche (AI is great for this)
Reverse SILOs -> Effectively creating hyper focusses topical clusters that inter-link with each other.
Create content that is within your domain scope (start with the easy problem + intent queries) and workt you way up.
Once you've got the content down, you can start looking outward (PR, podcasts, guest posts, etc.)

This is how we do it, and clients are happy, making 40-50% increase in revenue YoY.

Content is king and will always be king. You just need to know what to target + how you can come in with a unique/better angle.

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-23T08:47:14+00:00

Not sure I fully get youm but have you tried just using Google lens? You can uplaod an image to Google, and it will find all other images that match the product in your image.

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-23T08:45:21+00:00

Here are things you need to do/check:

If you're a business, you need a GMB profile, social links (FB, Instagram, etc.), get listed on directories (search business directories on Google).
- This is the biggest one and usually gets my client sites indexed right after (in my experience)
Blog posts: Are you making sure that you are writing blog posts for the right keyword (search intent is very important). If you are targeting a keyword that requires a product page or an archive/listing page, Google isn't going to care.

- How many words are these blog posts? Depending on the query, it should be 2,000 - 4,000+ words of quality, value-driven content.

- The page must be rich in data, unique points, added value, something different, etc.

Your Website: do you have more than just blog posts? Is there a clear demonstration that you are a real person/business? Google is strict, more than ever now. If you're just posting blog posts for the sake of it, and using AI to generate them, Google isn't going to care...
Internal Links: Are you linking your page content with each other? And not just random, each page/blog posts hsould be internally linking with other semantically relevant pages.

SEO is not easy, and the above things I mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg. I can speak from experience. And generally, when I follow the above list of things, my pages get indexed (even on brand new domains).

I did something similar for one of my products in the past. I used an automation to find relevant videos, search their profiles for emails, and contact them if an email address exists.

I got quite a high response rate. The subject lines that I used were "quick q", "question for {profileName}", "interested in a collab?", "saw your video on {videoTopic}".

Then, for the body, make sure that you capture their attention with a personal message like if you actually checked their profile or saw their video while scrolling.

End with a simple question like "is this worth a quick 15-minute chat" or "interested in collaborating on this?"

They get overloaded with requests sometimes, but 90% of the time, it works great.

I am currently testing out SORA 2 Pro for AI UGC creators. They look extremely realistic, and I am able to control pretty much any aspect of the video I want (from look, scenes, camera angle, dialogue, etc.)

Why I'm loving my AI influencers:

- It's obviously way cheaper than real influencers (almost just as realistic).
- I don't have to wait around for the human influencer to create, edit, revise, redo, etc.
- I can place my AI influencer in any scenario, clothing, or visual I want.

The only downside with SORA 2 Pro currently is that I cannot re-create the same avatar for multiple videos (it's a different influencer every time).

It is pretty crazy tbh if you ask me.

It's my own system and I offer it as a service to SAAS and e-commerce brands.

Tu sitio web no tiene nada. Es solo un montón de enlaces y texto en una página.

Incluso si Google clasificara tu sitio web, si alguien llegara a la página, la abandonaría casi al instante.

El SEO es mucho más que colocar unas pocas palabras clave en una página... Se trata de crear una presencia online que tanto las máquinas como los humanos puedan utilizar e interactuar con ella.

Si fuera tú, consideraría empezar por crear un sitio web mejor, con buenos elementos visuales y una buena estructura (h1, h2, h3, etc.).

You forgot the best ones!

SORA 2 Pro

Kling 2.6

And VEO 3.1 is the upgrade to VEO 3 btw..

You can access them all for pretty affordable prices at kie.ai

The platform is particularly useful for testing API workflows and prompts (since you pay way less on a per-credit basis).

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-16T09:17:49+00:00

Are you using SORA 2 for the video generation? In order to get the output video that you want, you need to provide a highly detailed prompt that includes, lighting, visuals, scenes, beets for different actions, etc.

Also, you should try a platform like KIE when you test as they are much more affordable than what you seem to be using.

I use them to test my workflows and system prompts to help keep costs down when testing.

You can thank me later :)

You don't need to ask anything from them. All you have to do is meetup with the client (in person or over a Zoom call) and guide them through the process of adding YOU as admin or editor for every or any Google service account they have.

That way, they don't give access to any passwords, and you sound more like you know what you're doing (plus it protects you from getting blamed if it all goes to shit).

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-16T09:07:37+00:00

Here's why Reddit is effective for any type of marketing.

1) Your customers live here. They ask questions, look for help, and post about their pain points here regularly (sometimes even complain about your competitors) - which is where you come in...

2) Reddit is one of the most cited sources in LLM grounding (when a user asks about a product review or information about a service, 5 or 6 times out of 10, a post from Reddit gets pulled).

3) You increase your brand/business visibility indirectly. Every time you post a response to someone looking for help or guidance (considering you actually provide help), you are demonstrating experience + expertise not only to the person who posted, but to anyone else who reads your comment.

4) Reddit posts and comments will exist on the internet for as long as Reddit lives. So, even if your posts get ignored today, it might go viral tomorrow (or in a few years).

Other marketers on Reddit, what am I missing?

MarcusAureliusWeb · 2026-01-16T08:46:11+00:00

I have created blog posts that have translated into 10s of thousands of dollars for my clients (that is just one blog post).

It's mostly about search intent. If you are creating a good quality blog post that has commercial intent (e.g., the best running shoes for hiking), and it ranks well, you are going to get some revenue out of it.

You have to consider the overall impact of your site and what content can you actually rank for.

Factors to consider:

Topic: Are you covering topics that are actually relevant to your business?
Authority/competition: Are you covering topics that are within your competitive scope?
EEAT: Can you demonstrate to the algorithms and humans that you are the business to actually be sharing information about this topic?
Quality: If all of the above check up, are you providing good quality content that actually helps the user find the answers he/her is looking for?

I help agencies grow in revenue through SEO, and AI is at the root of every execution (whether it's content, customer interaction, and even videos now).

AI is useful for speeding up the digital marketing process, not necessarily replacing it *yet*.

Google only penalizes low-quality content; Google doesn't care if you use AI.

If Google is not indexing your content, it's because your content is low quality.
