  Hello @johibbins777,

  Please make sure that your website’s Privacy Settings is set to Public and not Hidden. You can find instructions from this link: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Search engines only index your site if there is something to index. Your website – https://joannahibbinsphotography.wordpress.com – has two published posts. The most recent one published October 22, and the last one before that published in January. I’m afraid no search engine will index your site with that little content.

  WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. Work on posting new contents regularly, and search engines will start indexing your site. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites.

  You can find more information from this link:

  Let me know if you need further assistance.

  Regards,
  Rose
