  Hi @southlightgallery,

  As soon as you register your site address on WordPress.COM it is live unless you choose to mark it as private.

  In case you are using WordPress on a self-hosted, you need to seek the support at wordpress.org as here the support is provided only for websites that are hosted on WordPress.COm and not on .ORG.

  If you are hosted on WordPress.COM, for your site to be indexed on Google, it will take some time, up to six weeks in fact. During this time, the best thing for you to do is to continue adding quality posts to the site using good titles and tagging. Check out our SEO guide here.

  Here are some tips for increasing your blog traffic and views: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  We also have a learning guide and blogging courses to help you get started.

  I’m happy to answer any follow-up questions.

  Best,
  Khyati
