Site is not showing up in Google

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your website not showing up in Google search results. It can be frustrating when you’ve put in the effort to optimize your website and it’s not reflecting in the search results.

Regarding your first question, it’s important to note that a website in maintenance mode with an HTTP 503 status code is generally not indexed by search engines. This is because the 503 status code indicates that the server is temporarily unavailable, and search engines may not index content from a website that is in this state. Once the website is set to “coming soon” with an HTTP 200 status code or is fully online, it becomes eligible for indexing by search engines.

As for your second question, it’s great to hear that you’ve delivered the website and have optimized the pages with an average score of 80 or above. However, if you’re still experiencing issues with the website not showing up in Google search results, there could be other factors at play.

One potential reason for your website not being indexed could be content duplication. Google penalizes websites with duplicate content because it can’t determine which version of the content is the original. To resolve this issue, you need to check if the pages you’re trying to index have any duplication on your website. If you find any, you can add a canonical URL from these duplicate pages, pointing to the original content you want to index.

If your website is fairly new (less than a few months old), it’s also not unusual for some pages to be marked as “discovered – currently not indexed.” It can take Google a little while to find and index all the pages on your site.

Additionally, if your website has been penalized by Google, that could explain why it isn’t being indexed. The best way to check if your website has been penalized is to search for your website on Google. If you don’t see your website anywhere in the search results, your website will likely be penalized. If your website is penalized, you’ll need to fix the problem that caused the penalty before Google indexes your site.

I hope this information helps shed some light on the situation. If you have any further questions or need assistance with any of these steps, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We are available 24×7 and are happy to help you with any issues you might face.

Best regards.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.

Since the site is new, you might have to be patient while Google indexes your site. To improve the chances and shorten the time you might consider submitting the site’s sitemap to Google Search Console: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/ and
running the URLs using your Google Search Console inspection tool and request indexing:

Thank you.

Hello,

Please note that crawling and indexing can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days/weeks. Be patient and monitor progress using the URL Inspection tool.

However, you also request the indexing of your pages by passing it through the URL Inspection Tool and request it there: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl. The tool will also let you know if there are any issues on the URL that prevent them from getting indexed.
