  Hi – I am still unable to find my site online even when I copy and paste the name of it into Google search. When I launched it I don’t remember seeing a message asking me to verify my email address but it was several months ago. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi there! We have some tips on how to improve your site’s appearance in search engines:

  https://wordpress.com/support/seo/#appearing-in-search-engines

  We don’t control whether or not your site shows up in search engines, so that page should give you some things to try including making a request to Google to index your site.

  Also, the more active your site is, the more traffic you’ll see as well. Here’s some tips on how to increase your site’s traffic and improve your search results:

  Hope that helps!

  But surely if I actually copy the link to my site and post it into a search engine, it should take me to it? That’s the bit I don’t understand!

  We don’t have any control over Google’s search index.

  The best way to track your site’s status in their index is to use their search console: https://wordpress.com/support/site-verification-services/#google-search-console
