We had started ranking on the second page for the term 'KREDL' and then Google has deindexed the page.

this happened multiple times and after few days Google indexed those pages.

Does anyone have any insights? what could be the reason?

    The very basic reason is that you might be violating google webmaster's guidelines. Or if the site is new, google might place it in sandbox for some time so that can also be the reason for not getting your site indexed by google.

    You are doing something that Google is penalising you for. You need to get familiar with the rules that Google sets for ethical online practices and work within those parameters if you don't want to get de-indexed.

    De-indexation normally results from a manual penalty.

    Did you checked indexed status by searching directly using URL? I doubt, that you checked with keyword and may be on one day it ranked on second page while the other day it is gone. Can you confirm how you checked?

    Hi rajeshjhamb,

    Please confirm that you understand the difference between de-indexing, and lost rankings. Those are 2 very different things.

    De-indexing is caused by a violation of Google policies, which could be due to many things including a malfunctioning, hacked, or malware infected website. Or, simply having pages blocked by your robots.txt file.

    Loss of rankings is an entirely different scenario, it just means that your pages do not have the relevance, quality, and utility value that other competing pages have for the exact same search term.

    You need to confirm which scenario exists for you web pages before reacting to any advice that you might see offered here on this forum.

    You can go to Google's Search Console to determine if there are in fact issues that caused your pages to actually become de-indexed. Barring that you likely have simply dropped in rankings and simply need to improve the quality, relevance, and utility value of your content.

    HTH,
