Symptoms

Searching your site name or site:yourdomain.com returns nothing, or Search Console says 'Discovered - currently not indexed'.

Why it happens

• Site or page is hidden from search results or password protected
• Search Console not connected and no sitemap submitted
• Brand-new domain with few links
• Thin or duplicate content, so Google defers indexing
• The built-in squarespace.com address was indexed instead
