WordPress site does not appear on Google
-
Hi, I currently use a free wordpress site on [redacted by staff], but notice that my site does not appear on google searches, no matter how specific. May I ask if this is a bug, and how I can remedy this?
Thanks very much!

Hi there!
I can see you have recently changed the name of your blog so for search engines like Google, this is a new site.
It takes a couple of weeks before search engines display new sites. To explain how this works: Google’s robots (and other search engines) “crawl” the web daily looking for new content. When they find a new site, it takes a little while for it to be displayed properly when searched for by people. Note that you can help search engines find you by submitting your new site to their indexation services. Google, for example, has a tool called “Search Console” which allows you to submit your site: https://search.google.com/search-console/welcomeYou can learn more about these tools here: https://wordpress.com/support/webmaster-tools/

Sure, you can add Webmaster Tools with any site:

Hi Supernovia/fresatomica, may i please seek your help to remove my blog url from this thread? thanks!

If you want your site to be indexed by Google, having its link in this thread actually helps, as the number of places on the web that link to your site has a direct impact on how Google ranks your site.
But I’ve gone ahead and removed that for you.
