Normally in cases like your site Google is showing a message that the remaining results are similar to the ones.
Some reasons why Google is not displaying all results:
- You have a lot of semi-duplicate pages like http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/theme-park/aussie-world-to-cedar-creek-from-cedar-creek-to-aussie-world/947583845769996550
- Some of your url's have a backslash / others not - in your internal linking you use both. The backslash version have non-back slash as canonical (not sure if this is always the case)
- You redirect url's with capitals to the non-capital version - but you use the version with capitals in your navigation
- pages like http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/airport-transfer-connection-to-and-from-suburb-starting-with-h/ don't really add value for the index either
- you might also want to check your 404 pages - they look like a 404 - but non existing pages are redirected with 302 to 404 page with http status 200 - example http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/price/lismore-airport-to-highfields-from-highfields-to-lismore-airport/faq -> 302 to http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/404-page-not-found which unlike the page is stating has a http 200 status
Summary - after crawling 1892 url's of your site - my crawler found 1215 redirected url's (quite possible that these count as url in the results when you do site:mysite.com) as you continue to use them in your site's navigation. From the url's that are actually working a lot of them are near duplicates.
Use a tool like screaming frog to clean your internal links - point internal links directly to the final destination. Check if you really need all these detailed pages - they are just adding weight to your site and I am not sure if Google will index them properly + show them in the search results. Also correct the 4xx page - it should show 404 as http status.
Apart from all of the above - the site:mysite.com is not the most reliable way to check which pages are in the index. Check your search console (and the landing page report in Analytics) & combine this info with a log analysis to see which pages Googlebot is actually visiting. You will learn much more about issues with your site than using the site: command.

Google Custom Search vendors and options
Hi everyone, We're in the process of finding someone who will be able to help set up Google Custom Search on our site and are having some trouble - most agencies we were hoping could help solely focus on Google Search Appliance, a hardware-specific approach that doesn't suit our needs. Specifically, we'd like to replace our current site search engine with Google Custom search, as well as configure it as deeply as possible for the best search experience I'm hoping people could give me some ideas on who might be able to help, or the best places to look. Thanks in advance!

Google Site Warnings via Phone?
I received a voicemail earlier stating that "there are two issues with your company's current Google listing that we need to discuss with the business owner. it is very important that we talk as soon as possible. press 1 to speak with an agent immediately. press 8 if you have already verified your account information or if you are no longer in business and want to be removed from this list. thank you" that's it. no contact number, no reference to what listing or what type of listing (organic, places, etc.) Checked GWT, GA, and the Gmail - there are no warnings or messages in any of those accounts. Has anyone else experienced this?

Did Google Search Just Get Crazy Local?
Hey All, I think it's a known fact at this point that when signed into a personal Google account while doing a search, the results are very oriented around keywords and phrases you have already searched for, as well as your account's perceived location; for instance when I wanted to check one of my own web properties in SE listings I would sign out or it would likely appear first as a false reading. Today I noticed something very interesting: even when not signed in, Google's listings were giving precedence to locality. It was to a very extreme degree, as in when searching for "web design," a firm a mile away ranked higher than one 1.5 miles away and such. It would seem that the algos having this high a level of location sensitivity and preference would actually be a boon for the little guys, which is, I assume why it was implemented. However, it brings up a couple of interesting questions for me. 1. How is this going to affect Moz (or any SE ranking platform, for that matter) reports? I assume that Google pulls locations from IP Addresses, therefore would it not simply pull the local results most relevant for the Moz server(s) IP? 2. What can one do to rise above this aggressive level of location based search? I mean, my site (which has a DA of 37 and a PA of 48) appears above sites like webdesign.org (DA of 82, PA of 85). Not that I'm complaining at the moment, but I could see this being a fairly big deal for larger firms looking to rank on a national level. What gives? I'd love to get some opinions from the community here if anyone else has noticed this...

How to remove a Google algorithmic penalty
My site has a Google penalty. I seem to be stuck in the 64th position for a Google search for my sites name. All my keywords that I used to rank well for are now well above the 60th search place in Google. I have resolved the issue I recieved the penalty for and I have asked Google for reconsideration. That has been about 3 months ago. The penalty is still firmly in place. I was wondering if anyone else has had a Google algorithmic penalty removed and if so how did they accomplish this?
