Google can discover your sitemap perfectly. But your pages still show:
“Discovered – currently not indexed.”
This is where a lot of developers get stuck.
At first, it feels like a content issue.
But in many real projects, the problem is actually how the sitemap is structured.
When you start scaling like adding more posts, products, or pages - a single sitemap and basic setup often isn’t enough. Google sees the URLs, but doesn’t prioritize crawling them properly.
That’s where things break.
In this guide, I’ve explained how to fix it using a more production-ready approach - with sitemap index files, proper pagination, and a structure that actually works at scale in Next.js.
If you’re dealing with indexing issues, this might save you a lot of time.
