Indexing my site on Google, but I still have 12 pages not indexed?

Optimizing Google Console, is not an easy thing to grasp, with my simple mind. I was hoping it would just work.

Summitted my site ok but for some reason, when I look at the reports, it tells me the individual urls I have added are not indexed, and doesn't really give the reason.

Google states it looks at your sitemap, ok will it found my categories, but no individual pages I have created, or at least 12 of them, there are a lot more.

When I look at the tab called sitemap, it tells me the sitemap www.getover60.com/https://www.getover60.com/sitemap.xml was last accessed in Aug 2025 ? what the hey? could that be the problem?

So ya, Wix automatically add's your page to a sitemap, and google is suppose to crawl it, else there is a utility that google doesn't use called indexnow aha... this is from Wix

"No, you don’t. (need to submit your urls for indexing)We do it for you. When you use the SEO Setup Checklist to connect your site to Google Search Console, Wix automatically submits your sitemap to Google."

I think I did this? Lets check... yep, looks like I did, you access this via Site and Mobile APP/Website and SEO/SEO and GEO, and tag SEO Setup Checklist, so while in here, the one thing on the list I didn't do, was set up with BING search console, that is done now.

Yes but they use a function called "IndexNow" and guess what, Google doesn't support it, Bing and others do... so why doesn't Google?

So I did a google check on the sitemap, resubmitted the same site map, and did a request to have it indexed, so I hope that will fix the errors? Now I wait.

Still not what I was hoping for a week later, so what's the deal? Is there something about the pages Google doesn't like? and its not telling me?

There is one reason, not in the console review that bothers me:

Review & Improve Content: Make pages unique, valuable, and comprehensive

So I think what I need to do now, is get a list of the 12 pages that Google is having problems with, and review the content. Do all the SEO tips, and maybe make them a bit longer, if that fails, I will just have to submit every page individually and see if that works. Seems like a pain to me, it should be automatic with the sitemap.xml file, but maybe this is normal.
