problem getting my page index on https

I faced a similar issue with my site on FintechsZoom Pro  (Third party link removed by Admin ) and managed to resolve it successfully. Here's how I tackled the problem and ensured my HTTPS pages got indexed:

The Issue:

The primary problem was that the HTTPS version of the site was not getting indexed, even though there was a 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Upon inspecting the Site Explorer, I noticed that:

• The HTTP pages were indexed instead of HTTPS.
• Some HTTPS pages that were indexed earlier were now marked as "Excluded."

Steps I Took to Resolve the Issue:

1. Verify HTTPS Setup: I confirmed that the HTTPS setup was correct:
   • SSL certificate was valid and not expired.
   • All internal and external links pointed to the HTTPS version.
   • 301 redirects were implemented correctly from HTTP to HTTPS.
2. Update the Sitemap: I regenerated the sitemap to include only the HTTPS URLs and submitted it to Google Search Console. This ensured that Google was aware of the updated structure.
3. Canonical Tags: I reviewed the canonical tags on all pages to ensure they referenced the HTTPS version. In my case, some pages were mistakenly pointing to the HTTP version, causing indexing issues.
4. Check Robots.txt: I verified the robots.txt file to ensure no HTTPS URLs were blocked. If you have any directives like Disallow: /, ensure they don't affect the HTTPS pages.
5. Fix Site Explorer Exclusions: For the pages marked as "Excluded" in Site Explorer:
   • I inspected them for specific issues (e.g., duplicate content, soft 404s, or noindex tags).
   • Resubmitted those pages manually through Google Search Console for indexing.
6. Force Re-crawl: Using Google Search Console, I used the URL Inspection Tool to force Google to re-crawl and index the HTTPS pages. This helped expedite the indexing process.
7. Build Backlinks to HTTPS Pages: To strengthen the credibility of the HTTPS pages, I created high-quality backlinks specifically pointing to the HTTPS versions. This step helped signal to Google which version to prioritize.
8. Monitor Progress: I regularly monitored the "Coverage" and "Performance" sections in Google Search Console. Over a few weeks, I saw the HTTP pages drop out of the index and the HTTPS versions being indexed correctly.

By systematically addressing these issues, I resolved the indexing problem on FintechsZoom Pro, and the HTTPS pages began ranking and performing as expected. Let me know if you need help applying these steps to your site!
