  Hi There,

  I think that you are currently “Page privacy” is set incorrectly. To resolve this, you may go to

  My SIte> Settings> General > Privacy(and change it to Public)

  Hope this help to resolve your issue :)

  Best Regards.

  Hi there,

  The privacy settings on your site are correct (we can check this by looking for ‘noindex‘ in the page source).

  It looks like your site is only a couple of days old. It can take anything from several days to weeks for Google to index a site.

  To speed this up, you can verify the site with Google Search Console (GSC):

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console

  Once the site is verified, you can use the “fetch as Googlebot and index” feature in GSC to get Google to index it in a shorter period of time. This will typically result in the site being indexed within 24 hours.

  I hope this helps :)
