Title. https://manartdigital.com, have both sitemap and robot.txt present. When testing live url on google search console gives a positive results. Any suggestions?

Ok nice, wait a bit and ask again to index your urls if needed. Regarding the www urls problem, did you set canonical urls so the urls without www are identified as the original source of content ?

Hi, did you add your website on search.google.com ? If so, what did you do on it precisely ?
Also it is not mandatory but i noticed :
It seems i can't find robot metadata, you can also add it by the way : https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots-meta-tag?hl=fr
You can also add JSON linked data (JSON-LD) to add context & meaning.

What do you mean by adding website to search.google.com? I've ommited the robots metadata in the root layout.tsx since it's true by default and it's available at https://manartdigital.com/robots.txt

on search.google.com, you can registeryour website so you can analyze it and ask for url inspections. You can do it by adding TXT entries in you DNS. You will have more context on how google bots analyze your website and pages. You can also submit your sitemap there, did you do it ? Can you detail what are the exact status of your urls (detected, explored, ...)

Oh you've meant the google search console, yes we've added our website there and also uploaded the sitemap manually.
This morning I've noticed that indexed page count went from 5 to 14, after going through each page and requesting it to be indexed.

This morning I've noticed that indexed page count went from 5 to 14, after going through each page and requesting it to be indexed.
Also I've noticed that there's a bit of a difference between url starting with
www and without. For example If I inspect following url in google search engine: https://manartdigital.com/services/software-development - the result would be "URL is not on Google" but https://www.manartdigital.com/services/software-development is indexedRussian Toy
