  Hi,

  I can’t see the site so I can’t test if it shows up in Google. But the moderators can most probably check if it shows up.

  Generally sites don’t show up on Google due to two reasons:

  1. The website is set to “Private” in Privacy Settings.

  Go to “Settings” in the left panel, “General”, and under the “Privacy” heading make sure your website is set to “Public” in the Privacy settings.

  Also make sure “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is not checked. Here’s the relevant documentation.

  2. The site is new.

  New sites don’t immediately appear on Google. Google has to “find” the website so to speak.

  It can take about 4-6 weeks for Google to index and list the site. The same article shows ways on how to speed up the process and help the website become listed higher in the rankings.

  Hope that helps.
