That finishing a website and getting Google to index it are two completely different projects. I shipped a few hundred pages, all technically clean (now), and most of them have been sitting in "Discovered, currently not indexed" status MY AI coding assistant tells me a new domain with no external links just doesn't get crawl priority, and no amount of extra on-site work will change that. Two specific mistakes I did fix along the way: my landing page force redirected visitors to their browser language, which can hide the other language versions from crawlers. Google's own docs say offer, don't force. And my internal links pointed at page.html while my sitemap said /page, so Google was discovering every page at one address and being told the real one was another. This could have also contributed to the limbo my website is in (although Gemini says that that doesn't happen). Fingers crossed
