Google indexing troubleshooter
Your site is live. Google still cannot find it. Start here.
WebMendly checks the common technical reasons a page can stay out of Google, including noindex directives, crawl restrictions, canonical problems and missing discovery signals.
Confirm Google is allowed to index
A noindex directive or broad robots rule can prevent discovery or indexing.
Verify discovery signals
A clean XML sitemap and strong internal linking help search engines discover new URLs.
Indexing is not instant
A healthy page can still take time to be crawled and indexed. Search Console remains the authoritative Google status source.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my new website not on Google yet?
New domains often need time to be discovered and crawled, and technical blockers can delay that process.
Can WebMendly force Google to index a page?
No. It identifies technical issues that may prevent or delay crawling and indexing.
Should I submit a sitemap to Google?
Yes. A valid sitemap in Search Console is a useful discovery signal.
