    Hi! I’ve connected my site to Google’s Search Console since last November, but still it is not appearing on Google search engines (Nov-Feb = 3 months ish?) I wonder if I am doing anything wrong – I verified my free domain on Google and submitted sitemap.xml generated by WordPress. My news-sitemap.xml is not working though, says it is missing XML tag. Thank you so much!

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    I checked and it is indeed showing in Google Search

    What are you typing in when you attempt to search for your site? Depending on what you’re typing in, it may be a case of your site not yet been optimized for certain keys words – therefore, it wouldn’t be found at the top of Google Search.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
