Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to this issue.

You can confirm that those pages show on Google SERP pages using the site: prefix function. Enter site:https://yourdomain.com(replace yourdomain.com with the affected URL) into Google search and you should see if the page is indexed or not.

We suspect this is an issue of ranking on SERPS. Please note that only Google determines what to show in search result pages.

Likewise, ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could search for your keyword or post title, or have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 results when searching on Google, especially for highly competitive keywords.

Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking your website.

1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword you are using is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other websites ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
