Issue summary

The page Merchant listings|Missing field "hasMerchantReturnPolicy" is currently reported by Google Search Console as Merchant Listings|Missing Field "Hasmerchantreturnpolicy" (coverage: "Discovered - currently not indexed" or "Crawled - currently not indexed"). The page is known to Google but is not serving in search results.

Why it matters

An unindexed product or page is invisible to organic search, directly costing impressions, clicks, and revenue. This must be resolved so the URL can rank for its target queries.

Root-cause checklist

Work through these in order:

  1. Stray noindex: Confirm the page does not carry a `noindex` meta tag or `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` response header.
  2. Robots.txt blocking: Ensure the URL (and its assets) is not disallowed in `robots.txt`.
  3. Sitemap: Verify the URL is included in the submitted XML sitemap and the sitemap is not filtered by any rule.
  4. Thin or duplicate content: If the page is near-duplicate or very thin, Google may choose not to index it. Add unique, substantial copy.
  5. Internal-link authority: Pages with no internal links from stronger templates may be deprioritized. Link to it from category and high-authority pages.

Remediation steps

  • Remove any unintended `noindex`; keep `index, follow`.
  • Confirm `robots.txt` allows crawling of the path.
  • Add the URL to the active sitemap, then use the URL Inspection → Request Indexing action in Search Console.
  • Add 2-3 contextual internal links from relevant category/blog pages.
  • Enrich the page with unique descriptions, specs, and FAQ so it clears the thin-content bar.

Verification

Re-run URL Inspection to confirm "URL is on Google", and watch the Coverage report over the next 1-2 weeks for the page to move from Excluded to Valid.
