Fetch as Google only works for 30 minutes. After that, the page is not shown in the Google index..... What did I do wrong here?


Robots.txt has nothing to do with it.

You need to look at the pages that you're trying to make google index using the "fetch as google" feature and see that they follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines completely. This means don't post extreme adult content and/or hate speeches that would hurt the community, etc. Instead, it means make quality content that is valuable to your guests.

It would also help to make sure that the sitemaps you have submitted to Google's search console (which I hope you did at least one) lists every publicly accessible URL on your site so that Google can quickly index your site.

The "fetch as google" tool is there to help you troubleshoot your site so that you can get an idea as to if a hacker got into it (and made google see something different). It's also a good idea to use fetching tools on other webmaster consoles such as Bing webmaster tools and Yandex.
