  1. Hi, nice article. I submitted feedback through google search console for my website bhutanrebirth.com which has no robots text issues but gives me that oops message when asking it to index. It had no problems before when I indexed. Now even the description doesn’t appear in search results. One more point only “Bhutan Rebirth” comes in the sarch results instead of what I have put in the tags.

    I cannot find “visit your search results” on google console as you have asked us to do.

    Thanks,

    Keshav
