Check if Google has indexed your site by searching "site:" followed by your domain name. Based on the results, follow these troubleshooting steps:

No Pages Appear in Search Results:

• Upgrade from evaluation sites to paid service
• Remove all password protection
• Remove any "noindex" tags from code
• Validate site with Google Search Console
• Submit site for indexing
• Register with Bing Webmaster Tools

Some Pages Missing from Results:

• Check page settings:
  • Ensure page is enabled
  • Remove page passwords
  • Uncheck "Hide from search results"
  • Remove "noindex" codes
• Validate with Google Search Console
• Request reindexing
• Register with Bing Webmaster Tools

Site Not Appearing for Specific Keywords:

• Conduct keyword research to understand search patterns
• Optimize content with relevant keywords
• Ensure content matches search intent
• Allow time for Google to reindex changes

Images Not Appearing in Google Images:

• Use unique, relevant images
• Optimize image filenames with keywords
• Add descriptive alt text and captions
• Follow Google's image best practices

Remember that Google needs time to process changes and index new content. The timing depends on Google's algorithms and cannot be guaranteed.

For faster indexing:

1. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console
2. Request manual indexing for important pages
3. Keep content fresh and updated
4. Build quality backlinks to your site
5. Maintain a clear site structure

Note: Search engine visibility can take several days to weeks to improve after implementing these changes.
