  Hi there,

  Have you verified your site with Google?

  If it’s been verified, it will be indexed faster and unlock other additional features.

  Cheers,
  Eric

  @dannnielsouzzza, the link @ericfri mentioned will help, so if you haven’t already done that, do. And if you have done it but you’re having trouble with the Google connection, let us know.

  Just note it does take a while for a newly published site to do well in search engines.

  In the meantime, I’d recommend using some other methods to build your audience and traffic:

  Hi @dannnielsouzzza,

  I see this is a fairly new site on a new domain. Please note that it can take search engines 4-6 weeks (sometimes longer) to update their search indexes, so your site may appear in search results until they list your new URL.

  I’ve taken a look at your site, and I don’t see anything wrong with how it is displayed and there seems to be nothing that is impeding the ability of people (and search engines) to visit it.

  However, we are not in control of what Google does on their end, so you may need to register your site with them directly, which will help them to get the message that they need to index and rank your content.

  As others have mentioned you can register your site with Google by following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/site-verification-services/

  If you have verified your site with Google, but still do not see it listed there, this indicates there is a problem on Google’s side of things. We’re not able to help with that but you can contact them here for assistance: https://support.google.com/webmasters

  Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
