  Hello. I started my blog roughly a week and a half ago. I’ve noticed that whenever I Google a post of mine, it won’t show up for a day or so. I try to write news that few websites have covered for my blog to gain traction. Is there a set number of hours or days that Google needs to bring a post into its system?

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

  It takes a bit for search engines like Google to update their indices and make your content available. That’s all on Google’s end, I’m afraid.

  Take a look at WP Support’s documentation on Search Engines.

  You have a static page as your front page instead of your blog posts. Switch it to feature your blog posts up front and Google will find you faster.
