Google Console returning zero data

[CosiCrawley]

Hi. I verified my site both www. and non www. with google search console a while back and yet for neither domain am I seeing any data at all under Search Appearance and under index status (under google index) it is saying 0 pages indexed even though I can see in google search there are over 116.

Any idea why this might be?

Thanks

Hi Cosi

Search appereance can be clean and empty from data, for example if you do not have any html improvement suggestions from google or any structured data, this section will be virtually empty.

Can you see any data under Search Traffic? for example try this url:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/search-analytics

Hi - that makes sense but I also am seeing 0 pages as being indexed by google in the index status report - how can that be right?

And yes im using the search console report - so where that link takes you

Thanks

Well sometimes it takes from a few days up to a week until you see data showing up on search console.
But you wrote "a while back" and to me it sounds more than a month

Have you submitted a sitemap? link
can search console read your robots.txt? link
can you see any data under Fetch as google?  link

Hi,

Yes for both the www. domain and non www domain - the sitemap is there and under the sitemap report it says 107 pages submitted and 80 indexed. Robots.txt file is read and when I look for the main pages under Fetch as Google it comes back with successful redirects though not sure why they are redirects? But in spite of all that working - it is still returning 0 for pages indexed under the index status. The www. domain has been in search console for over a year. The non www domain I only verified yesterday.

Thanks

the fetch as google redirection is a bit suspicious..
is there a redirection from www to non www version for the domain?

Hi Cosi,

Check also if you have registered the right protocol of your domain http vs. https or if you have register the right subdomain (maybe you're not using www or non-www, but another subdomain?) - definitely looks as the type of situation where you haven't register the property with the "right" name  and the final location of your site where your content and information is (maybe you're redirecting to another place?) if you don't see any data for it, neither indexation, crawling or search visibility.

Another hypothesis would be that you still have very very few pages and that's why you don't obtain any data for the search visibility, however, you should be able to see it on the crawling and indexation reports.

The final one would be that you're blocking all crawling and indexation from happening on your site and therefore you don't have any. Take a look at the robots.txt configuration, also any potential blockage at other levels, such as server level in htaccess or even with the noindex meta robots tags (although that would block the indexation and not the crawling).

Thanks,
