Our sharepoint On premises Website is not appearing in Google seach engine.

Question

We are experiencing an issue with our website that its not appear in Google search when we use our keyword.

our existing domain name was domain.ae, and the updated one is xxxxx.ae, therefore our existing domain was appearing in Google, but once we changed the domain, it no longer appeared in the Google search engine.

The new domain changed before 6Months still now it's not appearing in google, When we check our site with site:URL, it shows only the SharePoint lists and library backend URLs. But in Bing search it's appearing properly.

Following steps are done for SEO :

• In Sharepoint Site Collection features -> search engine sitemap -> activated.
• Central admin -> Search service application -> Started.
• In all web pages, we have added the meta tags, title, keywords, and description
• We have submitted the sitemap to the Google Search Console account and the robots.txt has been fetched.

Please help us to solve this issue, Thanks in Advance

Hi @Arunachalam J ,

Based on what you've described, we believe that your problem is due to a Google issue. In fact we are currently providing help on SharePoint in the Q&A forum. We are not authorized to use Google and cannot test it. I'm sorry about that.We can't give professional advice for this issue, maybe you can try to ask for help from Google forums, thanks for your understanding.
