My site is not appearing in search engines
-
I’ve set it to ‘Public’, verified it with Google Search Console and been posting regularly for over a year. Can you tell me why my blog isn’t coming up in Google?!
Thank youThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, sadly WordPress.com doesn’t have much control over what Google does or how they rank individual websites.
Verifying it with Google Search Console is a good start, and you may wish to explore the links listed on this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo/
Sorry!

Hi –
I just wanted to mention that it takes Google about 6 weeks to pick up and index a new site. During that waiting time you should continue writing, posting unique content, and using tags and categories.
Your content is discoverable through Reader while you wait on Google. That’s a great perk of using WordPress.com.

Thanks for the advice. I have already registered with Google Console, and it’s not a new blog – started a couple of years ago (although I’ve only been posting regularly for the past 6 months).
I was just surprised that’s it’s not discoverable via Google – had assumed that with daily visitors it would be.
Any further advice much appreciated! Thank you

@rosetintedtentacles is Google Console turning up any helpful information about why it’s not registering? Usually it will say there if there’s a problem.

I did notice, for what it’s worth, that if I search for your tagline it’s the first site on Google’s list. What terms are you searching for?
