      We have an issue with Google finding our website: (URL removed)

      When we google "(keyword removed)" in google.com.au, our website doesn't come up anywhere. This is despite inserting the suitable title tag and onsite copy for SEO. We found this strange, and thought we'd investigate further.

      We decided to just google the website URL in google.com.au, to see if it was being properly found. Our site appeared at the top but with this description: A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more. We also can see that the incorrect title tag is appearing.

      From this, we assumed that there must be an issue with the robot.txt file. We decided to put a new robot.txt file up: (URL removed)

      This hasn't solved the problem though and we still have the same issue. If someone could get to the bottom of this for us, we would be most appreciative. We are thinking that there may possibly be another robot.txt file that we can't find that is causing issues, or something else we're not sure of!

      We want to get to the bottom of it so that the site can be appropriately found. Any help here would be most appreciated!

        Hi, It could be hard to organically rank for that term because of all the real estate sites. It may take some work to organically rank there

          Hi Gavo,

          You put up robot.txt instead of robots.txt.

          http://kaya3976.com.au/robots.txt indeed disallows all pages.
