My homepage doesn't seem to be indexed. Any suggestions?

[Three29]

As the title said, I don't think my homepage is being indexed. When I use "site:" search operator it's not there, but it's still ranking for other various keywords. Also the pages of my site I would expect to see with the "site:" search operator aren't there either.

Site for reference: three29.com

Any ideas what could be causing this? I don't have any errors or penalties in Search Console.

Thanks.

Panic not Kev,

I can see your homepage is indexed, Sometimes the 'site:' parameter ignores the homepage. Trust in the console. It sounds like you did all the neccesary checks and but didn't believe in them.

Hello Kev!

your homepage IS INDEXED. Sometimes googles confuses itself and doesnt show the homepage in first place when searching with "site:" Also, John Mueller said that these searches (with "site:" parameter) doent always represent the indexation status.

Check the image attached, you´ll see the result of your site.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Test if your site has been indexed by searching for its exact URL or domain name with no other words (ex: http://www.yourdomain.com).

Sometimes it can take a week or more for a search engine to update search results. This is because your website is new and doesn’t have any inbound links.

First, create an account on Google webmaster tools. When you register and point Google to your sitemap.xml URL you can request them to re-crawl your URLs. However, there are so many requests that the feature doesn’t always work immediately (especially if you have a new or large site).

If you don’t want to create a Google Webmaster Tools account, try this link to add your url to google: http://www.google.com/addurl/

Google doesn’t add all submitted URLs to their index, and they can’t make predictions or guarantees about when or if submitted URLs will appear in their index. But if your new website is crawled, it usually takes another week or two for it to be pushed out to the index.
