Homepage not showing up in Google even when searching exact title tag

[Brand_It_Web_Design]

why does my site not show up in Google even when you search exact homepage title tag or business name (Brand-It Web Design)?  You can even search the exact title tag for my site and it does not show up.

If you search site:branditwebdesign.com you will see that it is there.  But just the homepage doesn't show up in search for anything else.  We have probably tried everything in the world to get this working.

Any suggestions?

OK.  There's no known Penguin update that happened in January.  Although links are a possibility, there could be something else.  Panda is certainly a possibility and also it's possible that there is some sort of technical issue that is affecting the site.

It sounds like you probably need someone with knowledge of Google penalty and algo changes to have a good look at the site and dig into your analytics.  I am not personally able to take on new audit work right now but I can put you in touch with someone whom I know is good at this kind of stuff.  You can find my contact info via my profile.

There are also some very knowledgable people here in the Moz forums that would probably be available for hire for an hour or two to have a good look.  You can search for similar questions and find people who have good reputation and have given good answers and pm them to ask for consulting.

Hello Marie,

Thank you for the response.  Yes, I have checked in the Manual Actions section of Webmaster Tools and there are no notifications.

I would say we dropped around January, 2014.  so it has been an extreme struggle to try and figure out why.

Thank you,

Do you know on what day you dropped out of search?  You're definitely still indexed, but I can only get you to come up for a search for your url.  I think there's a good chance that the Penguin algorithm is affecting you as it looks like the majority of your backlinks are unfortunately unnatural.  I just had a quick look and I see mostly low quality directory links.  If Penguin is the culprit then you'll see a drop on one of the dates of a Penguin refresh.  The most recent was October 4, 2013.

If you haven't done so already, it's a good idea to check Webmaster Tools --> Search Traffic --> Manual Actions to see if your site has been manually penalized as well.

What is your URL?

There is a million reason why it could not be showing up. No one can even begin to tell you the reason without having a look at it.
