New WordPress Website Not Getting Indexed by Google – What Am I Missing?
-
Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to WordPress and recently launched my first website. The site is live, pages are published, and I’ve submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console.
However, after a few weeks, most of my pages still aren’t appearing in Google search results. I’ve already checked that:
- The site is public and not set to discourage search engines.
- The sitemap has been submitted.
- Pages are accessible and loading normally.
- Basic SEO settings are configured.
As a beginner, I’m not sure if this is normal for a new website or if I’ve missed an important step during setup.
What are the most common reasons a new WordPress site struggles to get indexed, and what should I check first?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
