  1. How do I gain access of my YouTube account, I was playing around with settings in Google since I got locked out of my email and ended up on YouTube and now I'm unable to use my Google account and my YouTube account that was under the same email??

  2. Over a month ago, I created many pages on my website. However, they have not been crawled and indexed by Google yet. I have checked the website for any SEO glitches, but there are no issues with technical SEO. I also conducted a live test for the URLs, but no error was shown. When I search up the URLs on the Google Search Console, they all are under the category “discovered but currently not indexed.” I have even tried the “Request Indexing” option several times to fix the issue. Unfortunately, the problem is not fixed yet. May I know why my pages are not being crawled?

  3. Bing works the other way, a single mistake can deindexed your website completely and don't even show the warning or error in it console.

    Even the support team only say follow the search guidelines. 🤣
