    This website has been up for about 3 months:

    http://socialworkdirectuk.com/

    and despite doing everything possible to make sure it’s displayed on google, we’ve had no luck!

    At one point, during a 24hour window, it actually showed up (keywords: social work direct) but then disappeared again.

    Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

    If you search the URL in google it shows up. There are a few things you can do to make your site more searchable. You didn’t really describe what you’ve done so I apologize if you’ve already done all of this.
    1. Changing your url permalinks to something more descriptive such as post name (Settings>Permalinks) helps search engines find keywords on your site.
    2. Create an account at http://www.google.com/webmasters/ and check your page for crawl errors.
    3. Edit your sitemap to contain priority, check frequency, mod date, and add your sitemap link to your robots.txt as well as to Google Webmasters.
    4. Check out Yoasts WordPress SEO. It will help you tune your pages to what search engine crawlers are looking for. It also does a great job creating clean updated sitemaps of your pages, posts, authors, categories, and/or tags.

    Once you’ve tuned your pages to SEO, added your sitemap in google webmasters, and pushed your site to get indexed through google webmasters, wait a few days and you’ll start seeing your page show up to the keywords you’ve specified in WordPress SEO
