8 Reasons Why Your Website Is Not Showing up on Google(And How to Fix It)

There is nothing more frustrating than launching a website and waiting for visitors, only to find that your pages are nowhere on Google. This happens more often than you think, especially for new businesses that are still getting used to SEO and technical requirements. The good news is that most visibility issues are fixable once you know where the problem lies.

1. “No Indexing,” Google Has Not Yet Found Your Website

These are some common tags. Many sites remain invisible because Google hasn’t indexed these sites. Indexing refers to the process whereby Google identifies your pages and stores them in its search engine database. Therefore, if your site isn’t indexed, it will remain invisible on search engine result pages.

A number of factors might prevent indexing. Lack of XML sitemaps will make it difficult for Google to crawl your entire website. Internal linking factors might prevent Google’s bots from traversing your site. At times, some sites might be set not to be indexed before they are made live and then remain in these settings.

Web Informatics assists businesses with all these problems by generating the correct XML sitemap, submitting it to Google Search Console, and organizing a site so Google can crawl it effectively.

• Missing XML sitemaps make it harder for Google to find all pages.
• Poor internal linking prevents Google bots from navigating your website.
• Developers may accidentally block pages during the build phase.
• Proper submission to Google Search Console ensures faster indexing.

2. Your Site Is Blocked by Robots or Noindex Tags

A single line of code can prevent Google from crawling your website. Robots.txt files are employed to direct search engines on which pages to crawl and which pages to exclude. Google will exclude pages if there are any disallow directives in the Robots.txt file. Noindex tags are a prevalent problem. These tags instruct Google on which page it should exclude from search engine results.

This leads to several companies realizing that their entire website had been mistakenly blocked. Situations like these occur particularly during website development phases, where people utilize noindex tags and disallow rules. As a result, if these rules are not removed, they leave the website invisible.

Web Informatics carries out comprehensive technical SEO audits. It identifies issues with blocked URLs, noindex tags, and crawl rules and remedies.

• Robots.txt directives might inadvertently exclude Google from spidering some pages.
• Noindex tags can fully exclude pages from search engine results.
• Development environments meant for use on temp pages will be maintained.
• Technical SEO audits will expose and solve problems with restricted URLs and crawling rules.

3. A Poor Website Layout Hinders Crawling

Google needs good navigation and links within your site so that it can see clearly how your site works. It can be problematic if your site's structure doesn't make sense. A common issue with site structure would be broken links within your site's navigation, pages on your site that aren't linked anywhere, and dead-end paths that your Google crawlers have no choice but to follow.

A search engine that cannot crawl your site effectively will overlook some very valuable pages. A good structure benefits everyone as well as search engines. Menuing, linking articles, and eliminating dead links will greatly improve your crawlability.

• Faulty links for site navigation prevent Google bots from crawling through.
• Links that exist but are not accessible anywhere might not be noticed at all.
• Complex site structure leads to dead ends for crawling.
• A logical menu and interlinked relevant content increase crawlability.

4. Poor or Unoriginal Content Is Hindering Rankings

The content on your site plays an integral role in your site’s presence on Google. It will be viewed as low-quality content by Google if your site pages have limited text, repeating paragraphs, copied content, and your content doesn’t add any value. Thin and duplicate sites barely rank.

A search engine would like your page to be useful, original, and relevant. To beat your competition, your site needs to solve problems, answer questions, and demonstrate expertise.

Web Informatics assists businesses with high-quality content writing. The service offered by Web Informatics develops search engine-optimized and original content that is written on and around targeted keywords.

• Thin content or identical paragraphs reduces value.
• Plagiarized and unoriginal works result in fewer opportunities for rankings.
• The content should be useful, relevant, and address user problems.
• Quality and SEO-optimized content leads to authority and rankings.

5. Your Site Lacks Credibility and Backlinks

One reason why your website might not appear on Google’s first page is because of low authority. Google considers links pointing back to your site as votes of confidence. When your site is linked by other authoritative sites, Google recognizes that your site contains valuable information. It will be very difficult for your site to compete with others if it lacks links from other sites.

The process of developing authority requires effort. It requires guest posting, online PR, quality content, and promotion of your site on appropriate platforms. By applying these methods, it is possible to develop authority for your new site as well.

• Having fewer or no backlinks affects the credibility of a website, as per Google.
• “Votes of trust” are provided by backlinks from authoritative sites.
• To build authority, guest blogging and online pr efforts are necessary.
• New domains will be able to build credibility with a proper strategy.

6. Slow Page Speed and Poor Mobile Experience

Page loading speed and mobile optimization are some of the main factors that Google considers. User experience goes down with slow-loading sites, and Google might perceive your site negatively. A poorly designed mobile site will result in your site not being highly ranked on Google.

Web Informatics focuses on enhancing performance. We work on optimizing loading speed, resolving mobile layout problems, and generally improving user experience so that your website will be Google standards-compliant and search engine-friendly.

• Slow-loading pages result in frustrated visitors and negatively affect search engine rankings.

• Core Web Vitals include metrics for page speed, stability, and interactivity.
• Optimizing performance and mobile layout will improve user experience.

7. Google Penalties/Manual Actions

At times, your webpage may not show up due to a penalty imposed by Google. A penalty can be imposed on your website due to various reasons, like your presence on spam links, keyword stuffing, or duplicate content. It can also be imposed due to some guidelines issued by Google. At times, Google may issue a manual action penalty, due to which your webpage will not be available on search engine result pages.

Often, website owners are not even aware that they have been penalized. The effects include

• It appears like a drop in rankings.
• It seems like some pages are missing.

Web Informatics assists an organization in understanding and recovering from penalties. They analyze your backlinks, get rid of toxic links, clean up your content problems, and put your site back on track.

• Spammy backlinks, keyword stuffing, and duplicate content might result in penalties.
• Manual actions result in removals from search engine results.
• Abrupt decreases in traffic might signal the presence of hidden penalties.
• Recovery requires repair of content, removal of toxic links, and compliance.

8. Your SEO Strategy Lacks Focus
