Google Not Indexing Submitted Images

[nick_HandCo]

Hi Guys!

My question isn't too dissimilar to one asked a couple of years ago, regarding Google and image indexing, but having put my web address into a Google image search, I get a return of 15 images, so something isn't right.

5 months ago I submitted our 'new' site to Google webmaster. We have just moved it onto a Shopify platform. They (Shopify) are good at providing places to add titles and Alt tags and likewise we fill them in (so that box ticked!)

However I have noticed over the last couple of months that despite 161 images being submitted, only 51 have been indexed. Furthermore and as I said earlier, when you put our site, site:http://www.hartnackandco.com into Google images, it only returns a total of 15 images.

Any suggestions and help would be wonderful!

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick

You have two versions of the website indexed: http://www.hartnackandco.com and http://hartnackandco.com

if you do a search like this:

site:http://www.hartnackandco.com then there are indeed only 16 images. But if you do a site search like this

site: hartnackandco.com then you have tons of them! Yes that's where they were hiding!

You can specify your preferred version in Google Webmasters. You will need to add the non www version to webmasters to see proper indexing stats. Don't panic you can report n both. Might also be worth setting preferences in other places too. Server settings allow you to choose which way you want to the URL to look.

I hope that helps

So THAT's where they were hiding! Nigel, you're a champion, thank you very much! I will amend my webmasters account accordingly.

Cheers
