Why is my website not showing up on Google?

The most common reasons are a site that hasn't been indexed yet, a stray "noindex" tag telling search engines to skip it, or a site that's simply too new for Google to have crawled and ranked yet.

Technical issues cause it too: broken internal links, a missing or broken sitemap, or a robots.txt file accidentally blocking crawlers. Search "site:yourdomain.com" in Google, if nothing shows up at all, the site likely isn't indexed, which is different from being indexed but ranking poorly.
