Simon67 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hi, I recently created a website for the company I'm working for and I can't find the site when I search it with key words in the google search bar. What is even weirder is that I can find the website only when typing the complete URL "ash-architectes.com " in the browser search bar. Key words like "ash" or "ash architectes" and "ash architectes Strasbourg" (we are the only company with that name in Strabsourg) don't work on the classic google search bar which means that no one finds my website the "usual" way. I've tried to follow the steps shown on both the squarespace SEO help page and the google search console site but nothing seems to work. I made my own website a few years ago and I did not have these issues. Thank you for your help ! Simon Link to comment
Ziggy Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Is the website/domain name very new? (less than 3-6 months old?) Google will often not show new website on new domains for a period of a few months Is this website anything to do with the same company? https://atelier-ashe.fr/ What have you done on GSC? Is it listing any of the pages as indexed? Edited December 18, 2023 by Ziggy Simon67 1 Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!

Collaborada Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The site has not been indexed (site:ash-architectes.com), and as a result it won't appear in search results.

Is it listing any of the pages as indexed? The domain is like a year or so old, but the website itself has been created less than a month ago.. The ashe website has nothing to do with our company... GSC doesn't show my page as indexed (see screenshot below). If I translate what's written there it says : "processing data. Please check again tomorrow"..but google shows me this message for a couple weeks now.

See Google's documentation: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7474347 Yes it seems that google still hasn't indexed the website. I even sent them a sitemap which doesn't seem to work either. Maybe I'll juste have to wait a little longer. Thank for your reply, it seems that google has not indexed the website yet... I guess I'll have to wait longer. Thank you all for your replies ! Edited December 20, 2023 by Jack_SQSP Edited to remove section quoted from spammer Link to comment

Collaborada Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The first words on the Home page are: "NOTRE SITE EST ACTUELLEMENT EN CONSTRUCTION. CERTAINES PAGES RISQUENT DE NE PAS S’AFFICHER CORRECTEMENT." Translates to: "OUR SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SOME PAGES MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED CORRECTLY." You just need to finish the site, remove this statement, then ask for a crawl. Simon67 and LouLouHarvey 2 Have SEO questions? Chances are we've written about it!
