  Did you recently create the page or request indexing? It can take time for Google to index your page; allow at least a week after submitting a sitemap or a submit to index request before assuming a problem. If your page or site change is recent, check back in a week to see if it is still missing.

  Hi Ido,

  We can check if the site is indexed by searching for “site:domain”. I verified it for your site and looks like it is indexed, including the pages:

  

  In case you mean that searching by keywords doesn’t give the expected results that depends on SEO and how browsers see it. There are several things you can do to help that, the most important is valuable content. You can check our SEO course here: https://wordpress.com/learn/courses/intro-to-seo/

  I see that you run a tech/lifestyle/traveling blog and there is a lot of interesting content. If you would like to grow your traffic here is our guide on that: https://wordpress.com/support/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  You also run a newsletter which is also a great method to grow the audience. Recently we introduced a paid newsletter so you could even make money with it: https://wordpress.com/support/paid-newsletters/

  If you have any more questions let me know!

  Thank you so much!

  I wonder why in google search console I see zero pages that were indexed. I guess, it is a bug with Google search console?

  Hey there,

   I guess, it is a bug with Google search console?

  It’s hard to say, but to get more of a view, you could perhaps look to connect the site to Google Search Console: https://wordpress.com/support/site-verification-services/#google-search-console

  It might provide you with more information as to why that’s happening.

  Also to note… a custom primary domain would replace what’s seen here in the search results:

  

  A custom domain may help with the indexing the site, and at a minimum only the personal plan would be required:

  I’m hoping these are some useful steps forward.
