  Hi Happyfaceart!

  WordPress automatically sends all post and page updates to Google, but Google’s search engines can take 4-6 weeks for the updates to show up.

  While all you can really do is wait, there are a few things you can to do to try and speed up the process:
  – Make sure your blog’s privacy settings are set to Public (https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/)
  – Connect your blog to the Google Search Console (https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console)

  Hopefully this helps clear things up! ​

  Hi there,

  Your site is only two weeks old, so it will take some time, as @nicholasmiranda said above. The best thing you can do for now is publish new original content a few times a week, and your site will eventually start showing up in searches as Google indexes it.
