Hi, so on my website (https://gamerdiscovery.com) I write gaming guides and I have these “related posts” modules on the bottom of all my posts.
I’ve published a few week old posts that have “fire dragon dungeon” 1-2 times inside the content (1000-2000 word posts) and on top of that google also finds “fire dragon dungeon guide” in the related posts section.
Yesterday I’ve written a “Fire dragon dungeon guide” post which yoast marks as green SEO (means good) and I’ve focused on the fire dragon dungeon keyword a lot. I crawled the post with google webmaster tools and chosen to index it, but this post doesn’t appear in search results — google pops up with the previous non related fire dragon dungeon posts as the correct search result… why does this happen and how can I fix this?
tl:dr Search google for “maplestory 2 fire dragon dungeon guide” you’ll end up finding my “maplestory 2 heavy gunner/runeblade build guide” even though my “maplestory 2 fire dragon dungeon guide” is a 1000+ word post which I want to rank for that search and the heavy gunner/runeblade posts only mention fire dragon maybe once or twice.

How can I fix this issue? Is it possible to set this “Related Articles” module to no index or something? I don’t understand why google uses the posts with 2 fire dragon keywords and the related article title rather than the actual “fire dragon dungeon guide” post which has a ton of “fire dragon dungeon” keywords and 1000+ words on that subject…
Hi,
Seems the search result is leading to the actual post at the moment, so the post is indexed properly

From what I can find online there are ways of speeding up Google indexing, at least try to. Or maybe identify why it’s taking longer
