Is your site not showing up on Google? It can be very frustrating to put time, money and effort into obtaining the perfect website only to not have it show up in Google searches. 

If you are experiencing this issue, there are a number of potential reasons why this could be happening. Some reasons include:

• Your site is brand new
• Google Crawler has been blocked
• Your website has been penalised 
• Your content is plagiarised
• Your site is too slow
• Your website has been hacked

It’s important that you look into these potential reasons and fix any and all issues. If you have fixed any major issues but are still struggling to get the google visibility you desire, here are some ways to help your site show up in Google searches.

Set Up a Google Search Console Account

Having a Google Search Console account will allow you to accurately track and monitor your site’s performance and results. There are also tools that allow you to enhance your performance.

Once you’ve set up the account you’ll want to submit your site map so that Google knows which URLs you want crawled.

Get a Technical SEO Audit

A technical SEO audit will thoroughly inspect your entire site and bring to light any technical issues that may be having a negative effect on your Google ranking. An audit will look at your site load times, broken links, duplicate content, crawling errors, and more. 

Create Optimised Content

If you really want your site to perform well, and get your website on Google, you’ll need to create original, optimised content. This content should have keywords, links, and read naturally if you want it to perform well. The content can come in the form of blogs, testimonial, and page content. 

Backlinks

Creating a quality backlink campaign is one of the most successful ways to improve your Google rankings and search results. If you’re serious about getting your site to show on Google, look into forming relationships with other site owners in which you link back to one another’s sites.
