  Can you help me on this
  
  One of my website is not getting ranked for exact domain name also except website all other pages like social pages are showing in SERP .
  This is my website http://www.nurturancesmartschool.com/ and even if i will search with "nurturancesmartschool " and "nurturance smart school " these keywords my website is not showing in anywhere. I did search engine submissions also for this .
   ;any suggestions are appreciated ;

  Dave Elliott: You have a canonical tag with your non www url (line 18 of the code) which then redirects to the www version of the url. This could be causing an issue

  Hi thank you for your replay. I will explain here why i am using canonical tag because of in my website http://www.nurturancesmartschool.com ; and http://www.nurturancesmartschool.com/index.php these two pages are present but both are same pages only link is different that why i am using canonical tag.
  If i remove canonical tag how can i manage this one please can you suggest me on this thanks once again

  Dave Elliott: your canonical tag is currently: <link rel="canonical" href="http://nurturancesmartschool.com/">.
  
  Amend this to <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.nurturancesmartschool.com/">

  Jim Munro: I think Dave has pointed out your answer, +Mallikarjuna S ;.
  
  BTW, your blog says this: "Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing! Read More →. Recent Posts. Hello world! Recent Comments." You have to build on this if you want googlebot to take you seriously.

  Dave Elliott: it should be indexed once your site has been recrawled. After you have made the change i'd submit the home page to google via search console to try and speed up the process.

  Mallikarjuna S: Yes +Dave Elliott ; i submitted ; home page in search console
