It means that Google has crawled the page, but, during indexing, decided that the page was probably not intended to get indexed. It also means that the URL can’t appear in the search results.

SOLUTION:

It means that Google knows about the page, but hasn’t crawled (and therefore indexed) it yet.

SOLUTION:

Usually, it gets naturally resolved with time. If the issue remains, check the quality of the content — it could be that Google doesn’t think it’s worth their time.
