    Howdy –

    It takes about 6 weeks for Google to index a new site. Your site looks old enough to be queried by now, though. What search terms have you been trying?

    I see a Facebook page in Google results for Dunedin Dance and there’s also http://dunedindance.co.nz/

    Are either of those yours?

    I’ve also double checked the site settings and it is allowing search engines to find it.

    Hi, thanks for looking at this. I just search for things like Dunedin dance academy and I’ve tried putting in the actual site name but Google can’t see it at all. I think the Facebook link is us, the other webpage isn’t. My page is only about 5 down the list on bing, so it’s just Google that can’t see it.

    Hi there,

    To officially check to see if your site is in Google, you can place site:dunedindanceacademy.wordpress.com into Google Search. I did and nothing came up. As staff-zinnia mentioned, your site has been around long enough for it to be indexed by now.

    If you have not already, I would verify your site with Google Webmaster Tools:

    Here’s more information on what you can do to get your site indexed:

    Hopefully that will expedite the indexing process. Please take a look that the above link and let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the info. I am having a bit of trouble with verifying my site. I got the metatag from google, but no matter where I put it in my html it doesn’t seem to work. It just shows up like text on the actual page. I put in <head> tags around it but they disappear when saving. I also tried a couple of the alternative methods for veryfying with google – no luck getting anything to work. It always just says unable to verify.

    Hi there,

    Are you pasting the HTML meta tag in the field named Google on your site’s Traffic page?
