Why isn't my website on Google?
Paste your address. We fetch the page the way a search engine does and tell you what's stopping it: noindex tags, robots rules, errors, redirects, a missing sitemap, or simply that nobody has asked Google yet.
What gets checked
Can Google reach it?
Server errors, password walls, redirect loops and long redirect chains.
Is it told not to index?
noindex meta tags, X-Robots-Tag headers, and robots.txt rules that block Googlebot.
Does it point elsewhere?
A canonical tag pointing at another address makes Google index that one instead.
Does Google know it exists?
Sitemap present, listed in robots.txt, and includes this page.
Questions
My site is new. How long until Google shows it?
Days to a few weeks for the home page once Google knows it exists; longer for inner pages. Submitting a sitemap in Search Console and requesting indexing for the home page is the fastest start.
The check says nothing is wrong, but I still can't find my site
Then it's not technical. Either Google hasn't crawled it yet (request indexing), or it's indexed but ranks far down for the words you searched. Try searching your exact business name, or site:yourdomain.com.
What does noindex mean?
A tag or header on the page telling search engines not to list it. Site builders add it when a page is set to 'hidden from search' or when a whole site is still in a 'coming soon' mode.
Does this check the whole site?
It checks the page you enter plus the site's robots.txt and sitemap. Run it on the home page first, then on any inner page that's missing.
