Why Isn’t My Website Showing on Google Search Results?
If your website isn’t appearing on Google, you’re not alone. Many business owners build a beautiful site—only to find that it doesn’t show up when they search for it online. At WebHouse, we help clients across Morocco and beyond solve this exact issue every day.
Let’s break down the most common reasons your website may not appear on Google, and how to fix them.
🔍 1. Your Website Is Still New
Google doesn’t index websites instantly.
If your website was just launched in the past few days or weeks, it may simply be a matter of time.
✅ What to do:
- Submit your site manually to Google Search Console.
- Request indexing for your homepage and key pages.
⚙️ 2. Your Website Isn’t Indexed
Even older websites can be missing from search results if indexing is blocked.
✅ Check for:
- A
noindextag in your HTML - A
robots.txtfile blocking search engines - Pages excluded in Google Search Console
📉 3. You’re Not Targeting the Right Keywords
Your website might be live, but it’s not optimized for what people are actually searching.
✅ What to do:
- Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest.
- Add relevant keywords to your page titles, meta descriptions, and content.
- Create content that answers your ideal customer’s questions.
📱 4. Poor Mobile or Page Performance
Google ranks mobile-first, so a slow or poorly formatted mobile site can hurt your visibility.
✅ What to do:
- Use PageSpeed Insights to test your site.
- Optimize images, remove unused code, and make your site responsive.
🔗 5. You Don’t Have Any Backlinks
Backlinks (links from other websites to yours) help Google trust and rank your site.
✅ How to get backlinks:
- List your business on directories (like Google Maps, Yelp, etc.)
- Share blog posts or insights on social media
- Ask partners or clients to link to you
📛 6. There’s a Domain or Hosting Issue
If your domain isn’t properly connected or your hosting is down frequently, Google may skip your site entirely.
✅ What to do:
- Make sure your domain is connected to the right server.
- Choose a reliable hosting provider with 99.9% uptime.
- Set up HTTPS (SSL certificate) if not already.
🧠 7. You Don’t Have Enough Content
Websites with just one or two pages often get overlooked.
Google favors websites that show depth and authority.
✅ What to do:
- Add a blog with useful articles.
- Create service pages, FAQ pages, and contact/about pages.
- Keep content original and valuable.
✅ Final Tip: Use Google Search Console
Google’s free tool will tell you:
- Whether your site is indexed
- What errors are blocking it
- Which pages are visible and how they rank
