Well done Allen. All the best. Jim

That is the first step. Well done.

Congratulations on being indexed by Google, Allen. It's a great first step. Your next step is to write good content that gets ranked for your desired keywords/search terms.

Just so that you're clear, there's a difference between being indexed and being ranked. Indexed simply means that your website's pages and posts appear in Google's database and can be found by their URLs. This happens automatically as Googlebot crawls the web but can be speeded up by using Google Search Console. Each page and post is indexed individually. There's no such thing as "the site". It's a collection of pages and posts.

Pages and posts are ranked for particular keywords/search terms. This is what you're striving for. So that your post comes up on page 1 when someone enters that keyword/search term.

Super congrats and great progress!

So that you know it means that your site was found by Google and now it is a good time to start adding content if not doing so already.

However, first your posts get indexed and often days later down the line start getting noticed provided targeted keywords are searchable, new websites can rank efficiently.

But typically "authority" for a website starts to get established through time, usually the 3-6 month mark.

They fluctuate up and down the scale till Google decides where to place them.

Not all posts will get ranked, thus the recommendation to keep updating blog 2 - 3 posts a week and that's for the foreseeable future.

And just for some clarifications.

I hope this helps

Very well done, Al!
