      Our website www.couponshop.co.uk has just had a relaunch after a change of direction.
      A lot of the pages were redirected. When I checked the indexing of the website on Google, I put site:couponshop.co.uk and only two pages come up, but when I put site:www.couponshop.co.uk they all show up.
      Is this correct or are we doing something wrong?

        When I do a search for site:couponshop.co.uk, I get 13,100 results. Is that roughly what you would expect to see? For site:www.couponshop.co.uk I get 13,000 results.

          Thank you for your response. But it only shows our website twice?

            I just did a screenshot of a section of the results, but it does show more results in the actual SERP, see attached image, that's positions 3-10.

                Oh I see what you mean, I opened some of the results and they are just 301 redirects (presumably set up by your company?). Were these previous URLs used before your change of direction?

                I do get some of the same results (like for the www search, e.g. a link to https://www.couponshop.co.uk/category/Jewellery on page 😎 when looking through the 13,100 results but they just seem to be one every once in a while among u.couponshop.co.uk redirects.

                When did you relaunch your website?

                  It looks like these urls most be from a while back.

                  The website has never gone down, we just relaunched it with a new design & direction, which was about 2 months ago.

                    You need to figure out what is going on with u.couponshop.co.uk as there are about 108 pages listed that get mixed up when you search

                    site:couponshop.co.uk/

                    If you go to page 9 you then get your https://www.couponshop.com results. What is interesting is out of the 13,000 pages listed the u.couponshop URLs are listed before the www ones.  This is an issue.

                    Those old URLs need to be redirected to the proper URLs on the current site if those URL get traffic or have links to them.

                    site:u.couponshop.co.uk/

                    Can be used to find the u.couponshop pages.  You will need to look in your server logs to see how often Google is crawling them. You may find that Google is crawling them a fair amount and so you need to get them taken care of. You also want to see if there are any sites linking to these URLs as well to determine if they are of value to you.

                    Somewhere on your server you are serving up pages with redirects and Google is crawling them and cataloging them and may not be paying as much attention to your new website.
