For ranking in Google or any other search engine it is necessary to crawling and indexing your website by search engine crawlers. Although all websites are crawled and indexed automatically from any search engine crawler but in few cases search engine crawlers can't crawl and index your website. I have seen many websites in my career which is perfectly crawled by crawler but not indexed. In this case there could be various reasons of not indexing your website like Wrong robots.txt commands or your website could be disallowed from Google Search Console (Webmaster Tool).
To fix these issues there are few tasks that are recommended by Google for all new websites.
