Google Search Indexing Issue
The team used the URL inspection tool found within the Google search console to submit it for indexing. The following steps helped us index something that the team thought was missing from the index:

Go to the Google Search Console.
-
Go to the URL-checking tool.
-
Copy and paste the URL you want Google to index into the search bar.
-
Wait for Google to validate the link.
-
Choose the “Request Indexing” option (if not already indexed).
But what if the entire website disappeared? As with our client, it’s most likely due to a configuration on the site related to the robots.txt file or meta tags. If Google was not indexing the entire website, it might be because of a crawl block in a file called robots.txt.
After searching, our team found these two lines of code:
-
User-agent: Googlebot
-
Disallow: /
-
User-agent: *
-
Disallow: /
Both of these lines of code inform Google’s crawl bots that they are not permitted to crawl any of our client’s pages. We just removed them to resolve the issue.
