web site building
-
Firstly, I am not ready to build my website yet. I want to complete my market research first. The question I have is this: It appears that the websites are built online. Does this mean that Google can see it during the building process? It appears to me that if this is the case, my site’s SEO could be ruined before I even start.

Hi There,
You have different privacy options you can use while you build your site. You can make it private until it is complete or just keep it hidden from most search engines.
Privacy Options
Public. This is the setting used by most sites. It allows everyone to see your site and enables your site to be included in search engine results and other content sites.
Hidden. If you want all human visitors to be able to see your site, but don’t want your site to appear in search engines, this option will block most web crawlers for search engines. (Please note, however, that not all search engines respect this setting.)
Private. Select this option to make your site private. If you want specific people to be able to view it (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them), you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.
When you first create your site, by default the site will be Private. In order to launch your site, you will need to verify your email address. You will not be able to invite viewers to a private site until your email address is verified.
