    Hello Cedric,

    Do you mean that if you search for your website on Google, you can’t find it on the first page?

    If that’s your question, there are two possible reasons:
    – Your website is fairly new
    – You have prevented search engines to fetch your website.

    If your blog is freshly new, search engines can take up to 6 weeks to fetch and index any online content and add new sites on their search engines result pages. To try to speed up the process, you can register your site on Google Search Console (former Webmaster Tools). Here’s Google official guide https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34592?hl=en
    If your blog still doesn’t appear in six weeks time, please contact the Staff so to investigate that for you :)

    To check if you’ve prevented search engine to fetch your website, go to My Site>Settings>Site Visibility and click on Allow search engines to index this site. You can access to Site Visibility also by your WordPress Admin Dashboard, clicking on Settings>Reading.

    I hope this is useful to you. If you have any other doubts, please ask :)
