  Hello,

  I would like to ask if by choosing the option in Customize for the title and Tagline not to show up, if this is something that affects search results and SEO in general. Is there any chance that it won’t even appear in Google search only because you have chose this option?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi there,

  by choosing the option in Customize for the Title and Tagline not to show up one can achieve a stylistic/visual change and not one affecting SEO.

  Hope this helps!

  Hello and thanks for your reply!

  This is what I thought as well. It just that the blog doesn’t appear when I search it on Google, although it is Public and not Hidden. Do you know what affects this? Even by typing my name, none of my blogs appear but only some comments I have made to blogs of other people. Is it probably related to how active your blog is? I mean does it maybe begin to show up in Google searches after a specific amount of traffic and so on?

  Thanks again for you reply!

  Hello there,

  The activity of a blog can affect how/where it can rank in search engines. The main reason is because Google bots will keep returning if it detects changes in content.

  This chapter here: https://wordpress.com/support/seo/ is quite useful on how best to tackle search engines.

  This is also a good guide on how to encourage traffic to a site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  I hope this helps.

  Thanks for your reply aleone89.

  I’ve read those articles and they are indeed helpful. May I ask if by upgrading to a paid plan this is something that makes the blog more searchable?

  Hi there @lazavad

  May I ask if by upgrading to a paid plan this is something that makes the blog more searchable?

  It will certainly give you access to further SEO customization tools, as you can read here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/seo-tools/

  This would unlock custom front page and post meta description customization, custom title format and search and social previews.

  This feature is available with the WordPress.com Business and eCommerce plans:

  Hope this helps!

  Hello there,

  Sure – so, the plan has no baring on where/how the site will rank in Google search engines.

  I hope this helps :)
