Vercel Next.js app pages not indexed by Google

Question

I built an app using Next.js, but already one month past, all pages were not indexed by Google. I tried to add sitemap and robots.txt, now they can crawl but can not be indexed by Google.

Most of pages issue is excluded by a noindex tag. I checked the whole code, there is no this tag I added in this app. Anyone help can point what is the issue?

Please follow Here’s an easy step-by-step solution to fix the issue:

First Verify whether there is Actually noindex (or similar) metatag in your webpages

Please Open Google Search Console Dashboard then check settings -> Crawling -> robots.txt Valid

Incorrect Meta tag:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Correct Meta tag:

<meta name="robots" content="NOODP" />

Please make sure to examine Your level of robots. txt if showing Disallow: / kindly follow below code

User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://stackoverflow.com/sitemap.xml // this is a dummy url

Make sure your application is properly working and crawl-able like Google's Mobile-Friendly Test to check it.

Please test if your site is working fine:

Google Page Speed Test

Sitemap resubmission and re-indexing for the affected pages will be necessary.

If you still can’t find a solution to your problem, please contact Vercel support or file an issue under the Next.js GitHub repo including all logs.
