# My website isn't showing on Google

> The checks to run when your site or a page doesn't appear in Google — from a hidden robots.txt mistake to Search Console's indexing report.

Work through these in order.

## 1. Is it simply too new?

A brand-new site can take **a few days to a few weeks** to appear, even for its own name. Speed it up: [add it to Search Console](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/seo/google-search-console), submit the sitemap, and use **Request indexing** on your home page.

Check whether Google knows your site: search for `site:yourdomain.in`. If nothing appears, Google hasn't indexed it yet.

## 2. Is something telling Google to stay away?

Open `https://yourdomain/robots.txt`. If you see:

```text
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
```

your site is **blocking all search engines**. This only happens if someone added a **custom robots.txt** file. Delete it — see [Custom files](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/settings/custom-files) — and the correct, generated file comes back.

Also check in Search Console's **URL inspection** whether the page says *Excluded by 'noindex' tag*. If it does, [contact support](https://www.nijeesweb.com/contact?topic=support).

## 3. Is the page reachable?

- Is the page **Active** in *Info Pages*?
- Is it in your **menu**, or linked from another page? Pages nobody links to are found slowly.
- Is it in your sitemap? Open `https://yourdomain/sitemap.xml` and look for it.

## 4. Is it the best answer?

If Google has indexed the page (it appears for `site:yourdomain.in`) but not for the searches you want, it is a content question:

- Does the page **clearly say** what you offer and where — in its title, first heading and first paragraph?
- Is there **one page per service**?
- Is your **Google Business Profile** complete, with your website address and the same name, address and phone?
- Do other sites mention or link to you?
