Why isn't my site getting indexed in Google and Bing?

Short answer

Site isn't indexed for 6 typical reasons: robots.txt block (Disallow: /), noindex meta tag, 4xx/5xx errors, JavaScript site without SSR, young domain (wait 2–4 weeks), or search engine penalty. First — check your robots.txt; this fixes 40% of cases. Then Google Search Console → 'Pages' shows which URLs are excluded and why.
