💡The main issue many site owners face is their website not showing on google because it has not been indexed yet.
Many business owners think:
“I have a website. Why am I not on Google?”
Here’s the truth:
Most websites don’t rank because they are missing the basic requirements Google needs.
Let’s break them down.
1. Why your website not showing on google (Top causes)

This is the #1 reason for new websites.
Google needs:
- a sitemap
- clean URLs
- accessible pages
If Google can’t discover your website, it cannot rank your website.
Solution:
Submit sitemap → Request Indexing → Fix crawl errors
2. Your pages return errors (404, soft 404, redirect, blocked, etc.)
If Google sees broken pages:
- 404 not found
- redirect chains
- pages blocked by robots.txt
it will skip your site.
Solution:
Fix or remove all 404 pages → re-submit indexing
3. Thin content (pages with too little value)
Google does not rank:
- empty pages
- very short pages
- pages with no real information
Google wants expertise.
Not filler.
Solution:
Create strong, meaningful content (like the ones you’re writing now)
4. No internal linking
If your site is:
- isolated
- no structure
- pages not linked to each other
Google cannot understand your site hierarchy.
Solution:
Link related pages together
Example: Blog → Service → Contact
5. No authority signals
Google doesn’t trust new websites unless they show:
- expertise
- relevance
- consistency
This is why blogs matter — they build your authority.
6. AI search now checks credibility first
Google and AI search tools look for:
- structured content
- trustworthy sources
- expertise signals (E-E-A-T)
If your site lacks these, you won’t appear anywhere —
not Google, not ChatGPT, not Perplexity.
Final message
Your website doesn’t rank because Google cannot:
- find it
- understand it
- trust it
