Homepage only has disappeared from SERPs

[GemmaApril]

I have a website that has been ranking really well with the home page for our most important keywords. 2nd position.

A few days ago I noticed the home page was nowhere to be found in the SERPs. Not really knowing what to do I republished my Rapidweaver site and got the message that there were two index files.  An index.html and index.php file which could cause problems. The home page has always been a html page so I have no idea how this was created. I deleted the php file from the file directory and resubmitted the homepage in webmaster tools for indexing. Within about half an hour the page was appearing in the SERPs again in my original position for the important keywords.

Two days later and it's gone again. I've tried everything I can think of and resubmitted the page to Google for indexing. I can see it is being indexed as it comes up when I type the URL into the search bar but it will not come up in the search results either for my two keywords or the actual name of my business. When I type in business name it brings up lots of other pages from the site but not the home page. I've spoken to 3 SEO companies and nobody knows what is causing it. Please help with any suggestions this will definitely impact our business if we can't figure it out. Has this happened to anyone else?

My website is NSFW but is www.aprilnites.com.au

Hi GemmaApril ,

Very strange situation.  I can see your page appearing though for your business name https://imgur.com/o4oWmqU.  Just not for your keywords (though another page is ranking).  Do you see any organic traffic going to the page in GSC or GA?

Hi Ramon

Thanks for the reply. It certainly is strange! It's had me tearing my hair out. There is still organic traffic coming to the site from other landing pages. It would be hard to spot this one in analytics as the keyword is so low volume but what does come through on it is really high quality for us. The even stranger thing is as of the last 15 mins or so the site is now showing for the keywords but still doesn't come up for a search under April Nites. Fingers crossed it stays like this!
