    My site Harrogate piano tuners does not come up on a google search and I see I have had no clicks since it was set up. Why is this and what can I do about it?

    WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. However, search engines can take 4 to 6 weeks (or more) to add any new sites.

    For more information about WordPress.com and search engines, please see this guide:

    Search Engines

    It will also take a couple of days from the time you created your blog for it to show up in WordPress.com search results. For more information please see this link:

    WordPress.com Search

    You can change your blog’s visibility to search engines by visiting Settings > Reading in your Dashboard, and looking under “Site Visibility”.

    Please check out our support documentation on that feature here:

    SEO is great on WordPress.com without your having to do anything special other than post. The longer your blog exists, the more you post, and the more people who visit it, the higher it should climb in Google’s rankings.

    We have some additional tips on traffic building here:

    I also recommend getting involved over at http://dailypost.wordpress.com/ — it’s a staff-written blog with writing and photography challenges, lots of blogging advice, and an active community of WordPress.com users that support each other and read each other’s work.

    You have a two week old site with basically NO content on it – one small token page and that is it – you need to go over the info given above very carefully and add some Posts – search engines only index sites that look worth indexing with some content – you are also going against more established sites that I suspect have a lot more content – the features here are great for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – but you need to use the features

    We cover Leeds, Ripon and York.

    OK – not in the U.S. – but you should identify your area better – also no About Page – why should I trust you with my piano? did you just set up last week or have you been in business for 25 years with over 100 years experience when all the staff experience tuning pianos are added up?

    You be welcome – good search rankings are not easy and take work – but the tools you have here are great

    Talk about different challenges in tuning pianos with Posts – what was a big challenge you faced when doing a specific job – make sure you mention your name and town / city in each Post along with Piano Tuning –
