GSC Indexing Debug Loop

A Search Console troubleshooting loop for pages that are discovered but not indexed or missing from Google results.

Use loop copies the kickoff prompt. Copy Markdown and Download loop include the complete Markdown page with context, source attribution, anchors, and guardrails. Cursor / Claude Code buttons prepare the shorter kickoff prompt only.

Run shape

Supported agents

CursorClaude CodeCodex

Goal

Find technical or content reasons a page may not be indexed.

Feedback gate

curl -I $URL

Stop condition

The page is technically indexable and remaining indexing uncertainty is clearly documented.

Do not weaken, skip, delete, or rewrite the validation command to force success.

Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.

If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.

Required context

Give the agent these inputs before it starts the loop. This keeps discovery bounded and prevents vague retries.

Target URL.

Canonical URL.

Sitemap URL.

Known GSC status if available.

Required tools

The loop assumes these commands or integrations are available. Missing tools should be reported as blockers, not ignored.

curl

Search Console access optional

How to run

Two separate pieces: the kickoff prompt starts the loop, while the downloaded Markdown carries the complete reference page.

1. Copy or download

Use the kickoff for a fast agent run. Download the full Markdown when you need source, context, and attribution in one file.

2. Paste into the agent

Start a fresh agent session in the target repo and provide the requested project context if the loop asks for it.

3. Let it self-pace

The agent should act, check evidence, retry only when the gate fails, and stop at the stated exit condition.

Action checklist

The diagram shows the order. This checklist keeps only the action, command, and failure handling needed during a real pass.

1. Check status and robots

Fetch headers and robots.txt.

curl -I $URL && curl -sL $SITE_URL/robots.txt

2. Check canonical and noindex

Inspect server-rendered HTML metadata.

curl -sL $URL | rg "canonical|noindex|description|<title"

3. Check sitemap/internal links

Ensure the URL is linked and listed where appropriate.

4. Check content usefulness

Assess whether the page is thin, duplicated, or low value.

Kickoff prompt

This is the text copied by Use loop. It is intentionally shorter than the Markdown export.

Debug indexing for the target URL: status, robots, canonical, noindex, sitemap, internal links, and content usefulness. Return exact fixes and uncertainty.
Goal: Find technical or content reasons a page may not be indexed.
Check command: curl -I $URL
Exit condition: The page is technically indexable and remaining indexing uncertainty is clearly documented.
Max iterations: 4
Guardrails:
- Do not weaken, skip, delete, or rewrite the validation command to force success.
- Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.
- If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.
- Do not promise indexing. Only verify technical readiness and recommend fixes.

Sitemap Freshness Check

Verify that important public pages are present in sitemap.xml with canonical URLs and reasonable lastmod values.

Fetch sitemap.xml, compare it against expected public URLs, check exclusions, patch the generator, and re-fetch until coverage is correct.
Goal: Ensure sitemap.xml includes canonical public pages and excludes private/admin/API routes.
Check command: curl -sL $SITE_URL/sitemap.xml
Exit condition: Sitemap contains important public URLs and excludes private/API/admin pages.
Max iterations: 3
Guardrails:
- Do not weaken, skip, delete, or rewrite the validation command to force success.
- Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.
- If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.
- Do not include private, admin, API, or duplicate query URLs in sitemap.

SEO Metadata Audit Loop

Audit title, description, canonical, Open Graph, headings, and indexability for SEO-critical pages.

CursorClaude CodeCodex

seometadatacanonicalssr

Kickoff preview

Audit SEO metadata from server-rendered HTML for the target pages. Verify title, description, canonical, H1, Open Graph, and indexability, then fix and re-check.
Goal: Ensure SEO-critical pages have unique, server-rendered metadata and indexable content.
Check command: curl -sL $URL | head -80
Exit condition: Each target page has unique title, description, canonical, visible H1, and no accidental noindex.
Max iterations: 5
Guardrails:
- Do not weaken, skip, delete, or rewrite the validation command to force success.
- Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.
- If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.
- Do not rely only on client-rendered metadata for SEO-critical pages. Verify server HTML.

Max iterations: 4
Guardrails:
- Do not weaken, skip, delete, or rewrite the validation command to force success.
- Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.
- If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.
- Do not expand pages with filler text. Add specific, actionable value or remove/noindex the page.

- Do not claim completion until the stated exit condition is actually satisfied.
- If blocked, report the blocker, evidence, and next safest action instead of gaming the metric.
- Do not disable required checks, edit loops to skip jobs, or remove tests to make CI green.
- Do not merge the PR unless the user explicitly asked for merge authority.
