I have a new website and have posted dozens of pages but only a few are showing in Google. What is a good way to make sure all the pages are in Google?

Why did you obliterate your web site with a pop-up about "Community-Oriented Attorneys"?
Seems to be self defeating given what your site might be about.

Create a sitemap XML file that lists all of the pages you want indexed in Google. Use noindex meta tags for thin content (navigational pages, login pages, etc.) that wouldn't be a great experience for Google searchers, or that don't have enough high quality, unique content on them. Build backlinks from other reputable sites in your niche to various pages on your site.

Getting search engines to index a new site involves several steps to ensure that search engine crawlers find your site's pages and include them in their index. Here are some effective ways to secure your new website:
Create quality content: Develop high-quality, meaningful content that is useful to your audience. Content that is well written and answers user questions or solves problems is guaranteed to rank faster.
Submit your sitemap: Create a sitemap.xml file that lists all the pages on your site and submit it to major search engines like Google, Bing, etc. through webmaster tools or search consoles. This will help search engines understand your website structure and indexed pages better. Internal Links: Internal links to your web pages. Create a logical structure by linking related content. This helps search engine bots find and index pages, and improves user navigation.
External Links: Get external links from authoritative and popular websites. When other sites link to your site (backlinks), search engines consider your site more credible and rank it higher. Social Media Promotion: Post your website and its content on social media. Although social media links may not be related to branding, they can increase visibility and encourage others to link to your site.
Mobile optimization: Make sure your website is mobile friendly. As the use of mobile devices increases, search engines will pay more attention to mobile responsive websites in their rankings.

It’s nothing to do with hosting but this time it’s a crazy problem with many people. You can request manually through search console + you can do something extra. Well, write some fresh caption on the Facebook page and add the links that you wanted to get indexed. Do some share, add some comments and like on those posts. Facebook posts getting index faster so if the post getting indexed the url ultimately getting indexed in it.
If you already build some links you can still share those links with Facebook posts though. Just create some regular fresh caption and add the links. Hope this help

To ensure your new website gets indexed in search engines promptly, focus on implementing a few essential strategies. Firstly, submit your website's sitemap to major search engines like Google and Bing, as this helps search engine bots crawl and understand the structure of your site efficiently. Next, create and submit a robots.txt file to instruct search engines on which pages to crawl and index.
Optimizing your website's content with relevant keywords and ensuring a user-friendly, responsive design can enhance its visibility. Additionally, build quality backlinks from reputable websites, as search engines often prioritize well-connected sites. Social media promotion can also play a role in increasing your site's visibility and attracting search engine attention.

You need to submit your website to Google Search Console and index your pages using the search bar at the top. Just enter your URL and click on request indexing.

Recently, I discovered a solution for one of my pages that was not indexing. I inspect a URL in the Search Console.
