  I have made my site public. When I do a Google search on my first and second name the WordPress site doesn’t appear. I can only find it if I search on my WordPress URL.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi There,

  If you recently made your site public, then it will take several weeks for your site to be indexed by search engines. In order to increase your ranking in search results, it’s important to frequently post new content and provide descriptive image Alt text. Also, consider adding a news feed section, use keywords and try to publish as much as possible in a week initially. This will help to speed up the search engine indexing for your site.

  Verify your site with Google Search Console. This step isn’t necessary for it to be indexed but might speed up the process.

  Hope this helps!
