I have someone from Kenya who is trying to sign up for the free starter membership of WA, but he is not able to. He is required to first make a payment. He has never been a WA
Why cant someone from kenya sign up for free?

Hi Joo :)
The following training by Matthew explains what countries can't join as free members. which includes Kenya and why. Countries that cant join the free program Nicola :)
Hi Nicola, thanks for your reply.
But I believe there was an update to this, such that all countries are now allowed free membership except for Nigeria, which is still totally banned.
Check out this post by Loes: Which countries are excluded from the free WA membership?
That's wonderful news! :)
So happy to be wrong :)
Thanks for the updated link, much appreciated.
Has site support been able to help you now then?

Good day, WA community!
I have some weird happening here. One of my latest posts has been indexed by Google (received the email about this, and also checked on site:).
Indexed doesn't mean "ranked under a keyword". With a new website, you likely will not rank that well under keywords just yet, but if you plug your website URL in Google you will notice that Google has found your website.
Through time and as your website gains authority, your rankings will start to climb. :)
Being indexed basically means that Google knows you're there. It's different from being ranked. You can type in the url for your post directly into the google search bar and your post will come up. However, ranking in the top 1 or 2 pages of Google just takes time. You're not doing anything wrong. It's just a matter of continually putting out content so that Google sees you're worthy of being placed nice and high in its rankings :) Keep up the good work, keep writing content, around 2-3 posts per week, and don't worry about checking stats. Keep pushing forward and you'll end up finding your content in those top ranking pages.
Ok got it. Thank you for your encouragement. Was just a bit worrying to realize it couldn't be found on any of the only 23 pages. Will keep writing content.
Indexed is not the same as ranked. Indexed means that Google is aware of your post but may not have ranked it yet. When Google ranks your post it will start to appear in searches.
Oh! So being indexed could mean the post is hidden from searches? I always thought being indexed means it would be found somewhere, it's just a matter of where. Thank you for your reply.
Have you checked the QSR (competition)? QSR (competition) is less than 100, which helps you have more opportunities to rank in Google. You also want pay attention at keyword must make sense. Your SEO and keywords are all well done. I believe you can do it and go ahead!
Hi, thanks for replying. The QSR is good, less than 30. Keyword does make sense too. So it's quite surprising that I can't find it anywhere, not even on the last page. I thought being indexed means it could be found, it's just a matter of which page.
Yes, that's Marion mean. Or you can try using site comment to let other to engagement comment in your post have the opportunity to get your post rank in Google.
