  Hi there,

  Your site appears to be launched when I view it but I did notice that you appear to be allowing the public to visit your site, but are currently blocking search engines.

  If you want to allow search engines to index your site so it appears in search results, you can change that setting here: https://wordpress.com/settings/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

  Hi! It’s in the general settings page (Settings > General), right under the timezone setting. You should have three options there: private, public, and coming soon.

  The Public option has a checkbox underneath it which you can check, in order to block search engines. You can uncheck that box, and save the settings, to let search engines crawl your site.

  We do have more information about it here:

  Hi there!

  Thank you so much for the screenshot and for reaching back out.

  It looks like you are trying to launch the site springfurniturebedshow.wordpress.com. Is that right? If so, please follow these steps:

  1. Head to https://wordpress.com/settings/general/springfurniturebedshow.wordpress.com
  2. Find the Launch site section and click the Launch site button

  Here is a screenshot of that button:

  

  If you have any issues clicking that Launch site button, please try via a different browser or via a private/incognito window.

  If you continue having issues, please let me know! :-)
