  Hi there,

  Your website is listed in Google — I just searched for it and it came up in the first page of results: https://cloudup.com/cCKqOoYl5WF

  If you’re interested in improving where your website shows up in Google search results, you might want to check out these posts:

  Hi there,

  Google sometimes customizes its search results, so one person searching for your site may see different results than you see. You can check to make sure your site is indexed by Google by doing a site search:

  There’s nothing WordPress.com can do to change how your site appears in Google search results, but you might want to try setting up Google’s Webmaster Tools. That can give you more information about how your site appears in their search results and how you can improve it. We have a guide for setting that up here: Webmaster Tools

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
