Please help!
Hi my WA Friends:)
First of all I would like to explain where I am on my journey here at WA. Then I will really need your advice if you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it!!
Went Premium 2 Months Ago Yay!
I became a premium member about 2 months ago. Build my first website using siterubix because as a complete beginner I didn't want to spend too much $$ just yet! I am really enjoying my adventure here but this week I discovered that I'm really stuck:( It's time for me to reach out for help!
My Website
I worked my butt off for these past 2 months building my site. I now have 12 posts and 2 pages and just completed level 2 of the bootcamp course. Although, I haven't reached out for site comments because I'm not 100% confident that my site is good enough to share with everyone. I know I will have to soon!
I'm not as far ahead with my training as I wish I was, but I work another full time job and have kiddies to take care of. I plan plan to continue doing MY BEST! Love it here so far!
Love Your Blog Posts
Your blog posts are inspirational and very helpful. They definitely give me the confidence to continue my adventure here at WA. Thank you for taking time out of your day to inspire newbies like me!
My Delema
I never really worried about my site being seen by google I guess because I received an e-mail not long after I published it that it had been indexed. I even had 1 person sign up for a Free Membership. So I thought everything I had been doing must be right on track!
After reading posts about WAers pages being ranked on first page of google, I thought maybe I should check and see how my pages are doing? I checked in Jaaxy.
I saw nothing! Looks like google doesn't even know I exist!!! I thought, oh nooooo, what is wrong??? Maybe this is why I haven't had any more new members sign up. I investigated and watched some training courses about SEO to see if I missed anything during my training.
I noticed that I didn't have the tracking ID in wordpress, so I fetched that and pasted it in.
Then I went back to google console, got the code to paste into the back end of my site. (Above the head but before the body). I watched Kyle's training and I'm pretty sure I got it right.
I made these changes 2 days ago. Every time I check google console, My Website name shows up but there's no data and there's a message saying to check back in a day or so! I'm feeling a little sad about this and hoping it can be fixed so I can continue with level 3 of my course.
My Question(s)
Is there anything I missed?
Does it take a few days or longer for google console to find my website?
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!!
THANK YOU for taking the time to read my post:)

May I suggest that you buy a domain name instead of using siterubix. You will get much better results in the search engine rankings if you have your own domain.
Siterubix is great for starting a website and getting the concept and ideas the way you want them but if you are looking for ranking of your website having your own domain is the way to go.
Just my two cents.

Thank you Cory:)
I did not know that but definitely wondered if I should buy my own domain?
I've just completed level 2 of my training. I think I got ahead of myself and expected more.
Off to work on level 3!!
Yeah, take your time there is a lot to learn and absorb. No need to buy a domain right now if you're not ready. You will get it as you go along.
Okay thank you:)
