  Hi there,

  Log out or open a incognito browser window, and type your site’s URL in the browser address bar. If you can see your site, it’s launched.

  You can also check My Site ->Manage ->Settings – it will say if your site is public, hidden or private.

  It takes several weeks for search engines to index your site before it will start appearing in Google searches, and this indexing process can only start once your site is launched. So if you just launched a site, it means that process is only now starting. You can speed it up by making sure you publish new content regularly, as every time you publish a new post we ping search engines to come index your site. You can find some more information on this here:
