My website not showing on Google

I was reading your post https://edward-designer.com/web/website-disappear-google/ and we are have this issue but we have it worse where even if we do the site:www.website name it does not show up. We have not made any changes to our website but it appears Google has banned us.

I read through your steps and nothing seems to be working. Do you have any other tips to get this resolved? I am at a complete lost.

Hi Scott,
 
I am sorry to learn that your website has completely removed from Google directory. Does your website still show up in Yahoo or Bing? Does the search analytics of your Google search console show the impression and click to be exactly zero? Is there any security issues reported there?
 
Probably there are some major concerns about your website by Google that it has decided to ban it from searching results. But it is strange that you do not receive any messages of manual actions from Google in your webmaster search console account. If that’s really about the content quality of the website that Google does not like, the best place to look into the matter would be the Google Webmaster Guideline:

Sorry that I cannot provide specific solutions to your problem until I can get hold of more information of your website. Each case is different and there is no universal answer.
 
As an example, my website recently had some issues with Google and it seemed to be penalized by Google algo changes (probably the “Fred” update) and the visitor flow from Google dropped drastically around the period of rolling out of Fred Update. I kept on working on the “quality” of the website by re-organizing the contents with a view to decrease the bounce rate and fixed other “probable” issues.
 
Within about 2 weeks, the Google algo penalty has been lifted and the referral traffic from Google bounced back. I am planning to write a detailed article on this asap.
