Is g actually hitting your site? Check your raw logs.

Please give a GENERAL sense of your niche, such as "technology", "entertainment", "info", etc.

Make sure there are no impediments in your robots.txt

There are so many reasons that you might have difficulty getting indexed you need to be sure to cover the basic steps first:

Does your site have problems with its code (HTML,CSS, scripts) that might cause browsers (and bots) to have trouble rendering it?
Check basics:
https://www.dnsstuff.com/
https://validator.w3.org/
https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Have you checked that you redirect to one domain? (Google considers each version of a domain as a separate domain)

http://example.com
https://example.com
http://www.example.com
https://www.example.com

Does your site have the basic privacy and contact content?

Have you set up a GSC account so you have feedback from Google?

Does it meet standards for loading speed? CLS? Mobile friendly?

We did SEO work from last 4 months

you would need to be a little more specific on what kind of SEO work you have done. It is easily possible to overdo "SEO" and see a negative result.

Sorry, but it is difficult to guess what might help when no clues are shared about what you are seeing, what you have tried. We do not even know whether this is a CMS platform, a HTML site, a drag and drop subdomain site or something else.

what happens when you type the domain name of the site into the google search box and search?

Also, what happens when you type the URL of the home page into the google search box and search?

Also, is your site indexed in Bing?

Do you mean, not showing at all, or not coming up in the top 30 or whatever you were hoping for?

The standard test for indexing--more reliable than what GSC tells you--is an exact-text search for various phrases from various interior pages.

Hello to all,

I have an almost similar problem... I try to optimize my site <snip> as much as possible, but I can't get it to show up in the search results.

Help!

Same question again: Not show up at all, or not rank as high as you’d like? Have you verified that it has been indexed?

[nickZ]

indexing you test over site:my-domain.whatever

[not2easy]

Using Google's site: operator does not list all indexed URLs, especially on larger sites.
According to Google [developers.google.com]

The list of URLs returned is not always exhaustive. Bigger sites shouldn't expect to see all their URLs in the results. A more specific prefix in the query may yield more results than broader prefixes.

You can test for specific pages using

site:https://example.com/exact/page.html

type syntax.

Ig Google feels that your site offers nothing new it is entirely possible that it will never be indexed, whatever you do. Sorry, but that is the way things are these days.

--your site offers nothing new--

Yep, just nothing new, unless inventory is about 50K in Products Feed, and your $$sh already spent that much in G Advertising.

Just Saying.

[Nutterum]

Sad to say but @blend27 is right. Google does not like ranking products organically if it can help it. SO if one sells stuff that 50 other e-commerce sites offer, odds are those pages will be Crawled but not indexed simply because they are pointless from Google's standpoint. Now if you have the product feed and have some advertising cooking, you might see an organic trickle as well.

@blend27 - This isn't aimed at you, it's a generalisation :-)

Yep, just nothing new, unless inventory is about 50K in Products Feed, and your $$sh already spent that much in G Advertising.

And this is precisely one of the main problems with G search, it prioritises sales sites over informational sites and then how IT perceives the importance of that site to the query plus, probably however denied, the amount one is already spending with it.

For instance, for one of my main widgets the #1 result is the USA's largest importer / wholesaler, results #2-10 are all stockists of that widget all using the same images, all using the same short description, all using the same product ID ... I am not talking about a widget that is available in thousands of places but the one thing they all have in common is that they are sales sites but how does one differentiate one look-a-like site from another?

We know G is 90+% a classified ads site, for anyone competing in this type of marketplace copying and pasting has not worked well for several years unless it is a lower volume product.
