Congratulations on being indexed by Google. 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.
Phil ~ Happy for Jacqueline and me...'cause guess what? I did not know the difference between being indexed and ranked. When I received notices that my posts had been indexed, I figured I was well on my way to my first thousand dollars. lol! So, thanks again for this clarification! Best to us all!
I'm sorry if it was disappointing, but it's better to deal with the facts as they are, rather than how we'd like them to be.
I took it as another learning experience. I am glad that you told us. Thanks once again, Phil. You are continuing to help me through what is sometimes a daunting challenge.

Yip, thanks I know. I am aware of the difference (probably one of the few things I do understand about all of this stuff!) but thank you so much for taking the time to post a helpful comment because some people obviously were not aware. I would also like to say that although I was aware of the information you provided on this occasion, that is unlikely to be the case in the future. I am sure there is plenty I can learn from you so please feel free to comment with any further helpful info and any useful tips on anything you think may be of benefit to a newbie like me in the future. Thanks again
Congratulations to you
Happy birthday
Wishing you more little wins as you build your website and achieve success throughout your journey

Happy birthday and congrats! Getting indexed is an awesome feeling, especially as a new website. In the future, if you build other sites, I wanted to let you know that you can alternatively submit your sitemap directly to Google for indexing. It's not a guarantee that it'll happen faster than organically, but it usually speeds up the process a little bit because you aren't waiting and hoping web crawlers find your site. Hope this is helpful! https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/build-sitemap
Thanks, yes, I did know about this but wasn't sure how to go about it so just left it to happen by itself. Thank you so much for the link, very helpful and I will keep it in mind going forward if I do build another site.
