  Google does find my blog, but in images it stays invisible, even when typing the exact description of the picture. How is this possible?

  re: search engine discoverability

  It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

  To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently. That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.

  Thanks for the info. I am aware of that, but my posts from september 2015 are still not found in Google images (the blog is found in Google, just not the images).

  Out of curiosity, are you adding alt tags and descriptive text to the images? That might help them get found in search engines.

  you have a very small site with about 5 posts and maybe 5 pictures – Google has indexed your site and one image – as noted above – make the site bigger –

  There’s really not much that staff can do here. Auxclass’s suggestion is a good one. Regularly publish unique content.
