Google is not indexing an updated website

[FWC_SEO]

We just relaunched a website that has 5 years old, we maintain all the old URLs and articles but for some reason google is not picking up the new website https://www.navisyachts.com. In Google Webmaster Tools we can see the sitemap with over 1000 pages submitted but shows nothing as indexed. The site is loosing traffic rapidly and positions, from the SEO side all looks fine for me. What can be wrong? I’ll appreciate any help.

The new website is built over Joomla 3.4, we have it here at MOZ and other than some minor details it doesn't show that something can be wrong with the website.

Thank you.

You can see when google has indexed a site but typing in site:

for example "site:https://www.navisyachts.com"

Sometime it takes time, but you can force google to crawl your pages - in webmaster - crawl - fetch as google.

Quick response got to do some work! Hope this helps.

Thank you John,

As navisyachts.com is an old website, google have over 2000 pages indexed from the previous website. But with the new one we did a new sitemap and we re-submitted to google the old and new pages that started to appear in the site, the old sitemaps where deleted. But when I check in Google webmaster tools how many of this webpages are indexed from the sitemap it returns a 0, I thought it might take a few days to start showing pages indexed but nothing is happening and I see drops in the impressions and in the website traffic so I am starting to get worry.

There are still some 404 appearing but we have them under control.

Any idea what can be wrong or how can I make google start indexing the pages?

Thanks.

Ok, then you need to start at the top.

Starting where I would start. ..  Have you checked your robot.txt file?

https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt - cross-check no disallow etc.

2. Have you checked google webmaster? - to make sure the old site map is not providing the road map for google.

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en&topic=8476&ctx=topic

Check them out and then revert.  Is that ok?
