  My site doesn’t seem to be visible in Google. It’s set as “public”, but it doesn’t show up in a search for “John Horning Blog” or “johnhorningblog” .

  Any suggestions?
  John

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

  Hi there,

  The official support page of WordPress.com mentioned like this:

  WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites. While not necessary to be included in Google’s index, connecting your site to Google’s Search Console can help Google include your site more quickly.

  Therefore, it should take more time for the site to be found in a search result. Only you can do now is either to keep posting good contents consistently. That’s the best way to make your site able to be found easier on search engine by readers.

  Since your site hasn’t been indexed by Google search, I also recommend you to share your site with readers by using “Publicize” function if you would like to do it. Your posts will be shared through SNS automatically :)
