  I created this site for my wedding but can’t find it when I search my or my fiance’s name. How can I change it so people can find our site

  Search engines will need to see the text of your name and your fiance’s name in order for it to appear.

  For starters, my best suggestion is to add that information in the Site Title and/or Tagline in Settings -> General in your blog dashboard.

  You can also add a Text widget with your names and a brief background in one of the footer areas (Appearance -> Widgets) with additional information for search engines to index.

  I hope this helps!

  Thanks but it didn’t work or maybe I needed to give it more time. I changed the text feature with my hosting so we’ll see if that works. I guess it needs a few days.

  Yes, it will take some time (usually weeks) for search engines to notice changes like that.
