I have a Wordpress site set up that connects to a third party db to display data (widgets).

I have one template set up that will display a list of widgets: mywebsite.com/widgets
Clicking through on a particular widget will bring you to a page like this: mywebsite.com/widgets/widgets/widget?cat=promo&sku=10034
So the widget information is queried based on the url arguments supplied.

This works well, but I'm having trouble getting my Google Custom Search (or Google at all) to pick up on these pages. Ideally, I'd like it to index all the widgets listed on the .../widgets list.

In the Google Search Console, I can navigate to Crawl > URL Parameters and I see my widget parameters listed, with my total number of widgets. I click edit, and made sure to select that it specifies content, and that Googlebot should crawl every url.

So, based on that it seems Googlebot is aware of these pages, but I cannot get them to appear in search results. Is there anything I've missed?
