  I cannot find my blog when I search in Google (or any other search engine). How do I know I have ‘activated’ my blog?

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

  Hi,

  When did you activate your blog? Google may be taking time to index your blog.

  I also noticed you have no blog posts in your site. This is important because content drives your SEO score, hence, the likelihood of your blog showing up as a search result.

  Hi there,

  @assadaboultaif is right. As @assadaboultaif mentioned, it basically takes time for search engines to start indexing a new site. But don’t worry. WordPress.com takes care of indexing your site and all about SEO, so only thing you can do is just focusing on blogging :)

  In addition, please make sure that the status of your blog on the privacy setting is “Public“. If it’s “hidden”, search engines don’t index your site.

  Thanks :)
