Hi, whenever I try to search for my domain name, for some reason my website does not come up on Google search.

All the directory links come up, but my actual website doesn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Mo123 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

If you are searching for the domain name in full URL format - as in https://example.com they can see you already have the URL so they will show you various content links from your site. The place to see what is indexed is in your GSC account.

That welcome link above offers tips on using the forums' features and settings, to help in getting started here.

My website only comes up when I type my domain name joint words, and it does not when spelled separately like normal.

On the results page, the domain title does not come (like everyone else) instead my domain.com name with the description.

If your domain name is not what you're searching for, then it may not show up. If other pages or directories do show up, it would appear that the site's content is understood but that the disjointed name does not seem (to Google) to relate to your site's home page.

Is there sufficient content (context) on the home page to actually qualify as an information source? If it is a bunch of internal links (navigation) there isn't enough content to be returned as "found" information.

While it is contrary to being found on g, what results do you get using other search engines, such as Bing or DuckDuckGo? If found there then it appears that g does not value what is being presented to their search/indexing.

As always, when investigating these kind of things, clear your own browser cache before trying anything. Repeatedly.
