Website Not Showing Up on Google

[Rishabhsoni]

Hi, I created my website using a free theme on HubSpot and connected my domain from GoDaddy.

When I search for “Grownue” on Google, my website doesn’t show up. It only appears if I type the full web address, www(dot)grownue(dot)com

Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

Thank you

Hi @Rishabhsoni ,

There are a few reasons why your website might not be showing up in Google Search when you search for "Grownue":

• Google hasn't indexed your site yet: It can take time for Google's search engines to discover and index your new website.

  • Solution:
    • Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console: This helps Google understand the structure of your website and prioritize crawling.
    • Request indexing: In Google Search Console, you can request that Google crawl and index specific URLs on your site.

• Technical issues:

  • Robots.txt file: This file tells search engines which pages they can and cannot crawl. Make sure your robots.txt file isn't blocking Googlebot from accessing your site.
  • Indexing directives: Check if you have accidentally set any "noindex" directives in your website's code, which would prevent search engines from indexing those pages.

Hi @Rishabhsoni,

The issue you're experiencing is quite common for new websites. If your website is new, Google may not have crawled or indexed it yet. Without being indexed, it won't appear in search results.

• Go to Google Search Console (https://search.google.com/search-console/).
• Add and verify your domain.
• Use the URL Inspection Tool to manually request indexing for your website.

Best regards!
