If your website isn't appearing on Google, it may not have been crawled or indexed yet. Before any page can rank in search results, Google must discover it and add it to its search index. Many business owners think publishing a page is enough for it to appear on Google. In reality, search engines must first crawl your website, understand your content, and decide whether to index it.

Local visibility is no longer optional. If your business doesn’t appear when people search in your area, you’re not part of the decision set, no matter how strong your service is.
