Hello @ColinAA,
The indexing of your content by Google is determined by system algorithms that take into account user demand and quality checks.
There can be many reasons why your pages are not found on Google.
1. Your website is new
It takes some time for Google to discover your website URLs. You can check whether Google knows your website exists by running site:yourwebsite.com in Google search. If there is at least one result, it means Google knows about your website. It can take time for Google to index your page; allow at least a week after submitting a sitemap or a submit to index request before assuming a problem. If your page or site change is recent, check back in a week to see if it is still missing.
2. Make sure you are not blocking search engines from indexing your pages
Pages with noindex won't get indexed by Google.
<meta name="robots" content="noindex"/>
Remove the noindex from pages that were not needed.
3. You are blocking google crawling
Google can't crawl URLs blocked in your robots.txt file, which usually results in them not showing up in search results. Check the robots.txt for your website and remove any directives blocking content that you want to show up on Google.
4. Make sure you disable the password to restrict access to your online store.
5. Make sure your store is mobile-friendly
A mobile-friendly website is critical to getting your site indexed by Google since it introduced Mobile-First indexing. No matter how great the content on your website is, if it’s not optimized for viewing on a smartphone or tablet, you’re going to lose rankings and traffic.
6. Your site has minimal content
Well-written content is critical for succeeding on Google. If you have minimal content that doesn’t at least meet your competition’s levels, then you may have significant issues.
When your customers search on Google, your product can be found only if your page is indexed.
