Most websites have something called a robots.txt file. You’re blocking search engines from crawling your pages Remove “noindex” tags from any pages that shouldn’t have them. If you recently submitted your sitemap to Google and they haven’t crawled the pages yet, run a crawl in Ahrefs Site Audit. This checks every page on your site for 100+ potential SEO issues, including the presence of “noindex” tags. If Google has already crawled the pages in your sitemap, it’ll tell you about any “noindexed” ones in the “Coverage” report in Google Search Console. It’s also something that a lot of web developers use to prevent Google from indexing a site during the development process and forget to remove it before publishing. You probably don’t recall ever adding that code to any of your pages, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.įor example, WordPress adds it to every page if you check the wrong box when setting up your site. Pages with that code won’t be indexed, even if you created a sitemap and submitted it in Google Search Console. You do that with a “noindex” meta tag, which is a piece of HTML code that looks like this: If you tell Google not to show certain pages in the search results, then it won’t. You’re blocking search engines from indexing your pages If there’s nothing there, go to /robots.txt as this often lists the sitemap URL.
Search Console > Sitemaps > Enter sitemap URL > Submit (It’s good practice to do this regardless.) If you see no results for either of these searches, create a sitemap, and submit it via Google Search Console. Check that they know about this by searching for site:/a-page-you-want-to-show-up-in-google/ If there are no results, then they don’t.īut even if they know about your website, they might not know about the page you’re trying to rank. If there is at least one result, then Google knows about your website. To check whether Google knows your website exists, run a search for site: If you only launched your site this morning, then the most straightforward explanation is that Google just hasn’t found it yet. It takes time for Google to discover new websites and web pages.
Most of the issues we tackle below relate to one of these three things.
