Our website is not being indexed

[Gavo]

We have an issue with a site that we can't get to the bottom of. This site: (URL removed) is not being properly indexed.

When we do a search for (URL removed) in google.com.au. The site appears as the 4th listing with the following title and description:

(Title removed)

A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more.

We have checked the site's robots.txt and can see its been now implemented correctly: (URL removed)

About a week ago, we also went into  Webmaster Tools and submitted a request for Google to recrawl our site.

We are unsure what the issue is that is causing the site to not be properly indexed and how to resolve it. Any assistance on this topic would be most appreciated!

The issue is that you still have the meta tag name='robots' content='noindex,follow' /> on your pages.

Now that search engines can crawl your site, they are able to pick up on this tag, and thus will not index your pages. Once you remove that tag, it should be indexed, especially upon requesting indexation through search console.

Hi Gavo:

• First of all, you have a noindex tag in the section of your site.
• Your site it's made in Parallax or something similar, so, the sections are not really pages at all, just a part of the homepage. To index all the sections, this ones should have an unique URL (not with the # prefix, maybe a web developer can help you with this)

Antonio is absolutely correct - in the 10th line of your homepage's code is a no-index tag.

To elaborate more on his second point, the reason the page: _kaya3976.com.au/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php  _is the only one being shown, is because Google sees that there's a website, but can't actually index any visitor-intended pages - and is therefore showing your WP Login page. You definitely want that to be resolved ASAP, but I would make absolutely sure with whomever's been developing the site that there isn't a reason it's de-indexed currently.
