: Google is not indexing the main domain We have a main domain called www.riya.travel. If a user visits riya.travel from India it will redirect to the subdomain in.riya.travel . If a user visits

If you are redirecting all traffic to either us.riya.travel or in.riya.travel, then it means Google bot will also get redirected, this is the most likely reason your main domain is not getting indexed.

As per Google's guidelines, you should avoid automatic redirection based on a users location.

What kind of redirect do you use?
If 301 it impossible, because of googlebot can't reach it (main domain). He is redirected as a usual visitor. Even more, he will not index it because of 301 redirect means "moved permanently" and it is not necessary in including it to index.
