Need help salvaging the “Crawled - Currently Not Indexed” pages after March update
Hi,
Am working on SEO for an AI SaaS company, partly hit after the March Google update.
There's a specific case that I am seeking help for: their design template page: ~60 English template pages. Each page has 6 translations; and all are machine-translated .
English pages, of course, perform far better (3x clicks, 6x impressions) compared to non-English versions in the last 3 months. But now most non-English pages are under 'crawled but not indexed'.
Although I plan to revamp these pages with useful content and interlinks... but it'll take time and some experiments. Long story short, now am thinking how can we salvage the non-English pages that are removed from Google index?
I'm considering -- 301 redirecting all non-English pages to their English counterparts.
Has anyone recovered rankings/indexing by consolidating thin multilingual pages this way? Any other suggestions in this regard is also welcome?
Thanks in advance 😄
