  Hello!

  I recently created my site so I was wondering how long time does it usually take for the site to appear on Google search? I have it for over a month and I search for it on Google by using various keywords, but nothing shows up. Does it take longer time for it to appear there or do I have to do something specific in backhand to make it work?
  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Patiessprieks,

  Search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add/update any new sites on WordPress.com.

  I will provide additional information below.

  re: search engine discoverability

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
  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 search engines have little interest in indexing Pages content. Pages are for static content that rarely changes.
