Hi everyone, I have a strange issue. When I type in google site:site.com, the results appear, but when I type site.com, no results come up.
Even though the site has never been indexed, it has been online for 6 months, is listed in Google Search Console, and shows no actions required.
What am I missing? What can I do?

If the result comes up when you type site:siteadi.com, it is indexed.
 
The site has been added to Search Console, and the homepage results appear when typing site:site.com
However, if I search for site.com, not even the homepage appears.
Are we sure this is correct?
I have two other domains, and after adding them to Google Search Console and manually requesting indexing, all pages were indexed within 48 hours (I didn't mention that the domains were purchased on ExpiredDomains).

is the homepage the only page appearing with "site:" search?
is the website spammy in any ways (links, content, etc..)?
is the website ranking for any sort of keywords in the top 100?

in most cases this is a sign of a penalty,
if it's a spam one, better move on
 
Check GSC for indexing errors and submit a sitemap to make sure your site is properly indexed.

yes only home page
My site is not spamming, and I haven't found any issues in the manual actions section of Search Console.
No keyword in top 100
I was thinking of changing the domain...

do you have other pages other than the homepage? how many?
did you use an expired domain?
did you buy any sort of links?

idk where things got messed up, but the website is most likely penalized,
better move on, don't reuse the content of the website into another one, keep things original per each website,
you can try to 301 to a fresh domain, but it's a gamble,

if the expired domain is not as expensive, just move on,
you should only buy and use clean & niche relevant domains

Sorry, but if there are spam issues, shouldn’t Search Console report them? The problem is that the domain has been online for 6 months and is known by many customers. ..... and is a good name

manual penalties/actions are less likely to happen,
most of the penalties are algorithmic and you won't get errors/message in GSC or/and from Google,

double check with any technical problems that might causing the website to not be crawled (less likely the case since the homepage appears),
if nothing wrong and the urls are crawled while using the GSC with no "noindex", it's penalized
 
Is there an online tool that can identify potential issues?
