Google Indexing our site

[brianvest]

We have 700 city pages on our site.  We submitted to google via a https://www.samhillbands.com/sitemaps/locations.xml but they only indexed 15 so far.

Yes the content is similar on all of the pages...thought on getting them to index the remaining pages?

Hi Brian,

809 over 863 is over the 93% of the site indexed. I'd wait a little more.
Also, I dont think that i will add value that you manually submit the URLs that you think are not indexed.

A reminder, WMT is being realy delayed on the latest information shown. In my case, the last record is from 4th may.

site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/

says about 809 results for /bands-by-location/

Webmaster tools says 730 out of 862 submitted.

Is there any value to manually submitting the URLS that are on my sitemap but not being indexed?

[brianvest]

If it's been a couple of weeks, should I manually submit the URLS's that haven't been indexed?

[brianvest]

It's hard to say...our number of pages indexed was climbing, and I checked today and now it says my sitemap is pending?

Hi Brian! Any update? Are you still waiting for your site to be indexed?

[GastonRiera]

You submitted those yesterday? You should wait more time. I'd wait for about 1-2 weeks for a correct number. Remember that Google takes its time to index.

I've had site for that amount of pages and some took about a week and others took over a month

Thanks for the response.

I have submitted my MAIN sitemap and the sumitted my LOCATION map seperatly.

All pages are set to index at the robots.txt level.

I have submitted some individual LOCATION pages and they are being indexed.

Thoughts?

I am getting that number from search console:

#		Sitemap	Type	Processed	Issues	Items	Submitted	Indexed
---	---	---	---	---	---	---	---	---
	1		/sitemaps/locations.xml	Sitemap	Apr 25, 2016	-	Web	771	15
	2		/sitemaps/sitemap.xml	Sitemap index	Apr 25, 2016	-	Web	862	103

Hi there,

Where do you get the stat fo the indexed pages?
I'm seeing about 60 indexed in the subdirectory: samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/

Check it yourself by searching: site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/

Just to rule out, have you submitted all sitemaps to search console? Are all your pages indexable? 
that last one is to be checked whether it's set to no index on the robots.txt or at every page with a meta tag.
And,  have you tried indexing manually any random page and check if it's indexed?
