Not showing on Google

    Why your website is not showing on Google

    In almost every case we look at, the cause is one of six things. None of them are mysterious and most are fixable in a day.

    01

    The six usual causes

    Before anyone sells you an SEO package, these should be checked. Frequently one of them is the entire problem.

    • The site is blocking crawlers in its robots file
    • The pages were never submitted or indexed
    • Every page carries the same title and description
    • The site is too slow to be crawled properly
    • There is no Google Business Profile for local searches
    • The content never mentions the town or service people search for

    How to check quickly

    Search for your exact domain name in Google. If nothing appears, you have an indexing problem rather than a ranking problem, and no amount of content will help until it is fixed.

    If your site appears but your service does not, you have a content and structure problem: the page probably never says plainly what you do and where you do it.

    What we do about it

    We run a technical check, fix the indexing and structure issues, submit a proper sitemap, align the Google Business Profile, then build out the service and area pages the searches actually need.

    If your site is beyond patching we will tell you that instead of billing you monthly to prop it up.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long until a new site appears on Google?

    Usually within a few days to two weeks once it is submitted through Search Console. Ranking well for competitive terms takes considerably longer.

    Do we need to pay Google to appear?

    No. Organic results are free. Google Ads buys a paid position above them, which is a separate thing entirely.

    Why do competitors outrank us with a worse site?

    Usually because they have a longer history, more local citations, or pages that target the exact phrase people search. All three are catchable.
