    Hey there!

    It can take some time before a new website shows up on Google, oftentimes 4-6 weeks or more.

    This article provides a few tips on what you can do to help speed up this process, such as working specific keywords into your articles, site and page titles, and URL slugs, and posting more regularly: https://wordpress.com/support/seo

    Posting regularly is one of the best ways to increase your site’s visibility on Google. Each time you post, WordPress will ping Google and other search engines to index your site, so the more often you post, the faster this process will complete.

    Having a site map will also help your website become more easily discoverable on Google. This article can help guide you through creating a site map on your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/sitemaps/

    Lastly, upgrading to a WordPress.com Business Plan will give you access to a ton of plugins you can use to help with SEO for your website. Here’s more information about WordPress.com Business Plans: https://wordpress.com/support/business-plan/

    Hope this helps!

  • Hi there,

    I just want to add you don’t need the Business Plan to get listed on Google, and upgrading to Business won’t have that process happen faster. Upgrading to Business will just give you access to more advanced tools to manage the SEO settings for your site.

    But your site’s sitemap was created and submitted to Google the moment you set your site to public, and every time you publish a new post, we ping Google and other search engines to index your site, so the best thing you can do to speed up the process is by posting more regularly, as @jamkmak also said above.
