Website not showing on google after 1 month?
Hi there,

Just to make sure we're on the same page...
-- Try entering this in G's search: site:YourDomanName.com. What results do you get?
-- Does the "Site Health" page for your site show that it is indexed?
-- Did you do the task in the "Getting Your Site Ready for Search Engines", in section 6 of the level 1 certification?
Google (and all the others) find sites through external links to your site. Have you linked to your site from any other place?
Hi and thanks for the reply,
When entering the site domain in Google it just says "No results found."
The Site Health Info displays "Noindexed content Search page." However, when I checked the Search Appearance settings under Contents Types, the "show in search results" box is set to "Yes."
I did complete the task in section 6 of the level 1 certification, but maybe I've not followed the instructions correctly.
The website is linked from a facebook page.
Ok, sometimes G takes awhile. Keep adding content and add outside links where you can.
See if you can set up your Google Analytics account, https://analytics.google.com/
If nothing else that will poke G and let it know that you are there. At some point your visitors stats will take a nice leap.
Once upon a time I got a GREAT link to one of my sites. I could add a post and it would be indexed in a minute or less. Yes, I timed it. Another, much larger, site would take a day.
Keep working the program and it will happen.

Apologies for the late reply. Thank you for your assistance, it's much appreciated!
