How do I set up an under construction sign for my site?

The important thing is to select the non-www URL as your preferred option, as Marlinda explained.
Always use //yoursitename without the www to send all traffic.
It doesn't matter whether a visitor types www or not, WA hosting is
set up to accept both. The visitor will end up on the non-www.
In the All in One SEO setting, tick the Canonical URL setting. This ensures Google will not see these as 2 different websites but as one website. See Screenshot.

I can't seem to get my posts indexed by google. I have sent them a sitemap, I have sent them the URL for every post and I have signed up for google analytics. I added the the footer code. They have indexed nothing.
I noticed that they have my site with the https://my site .com. The help page suggested this.
Add all your website versions
Make sure you add separate Search Console properties for all URL variations that your site supports, including https, http, www, and non-www.
I did go in at make sure that my page looks like yours and it was already set that way.
Any other ideas?
Thank you for the help. It is very appreciated.
Can you give me the link to your website? If you don't want to publish it here, you can send it to me in a private message. I'll take a look. ~Jude
Your site is being indexed just fine - see first Screenshot.
You might be confusing getting "indexed" with getting "ranked". Yes, getting ranked for keywords is a bigger challenge.
I found one high ranking keyword for you in Bing. See second Screenshot.
I suggest following the keyword training at WA. Use the WA search bar to find Kyle's trainings. Jay (magistudios) has several webinars on SEO. I recommend watching his most recent ones.

That is good to know. When i click on my site content stats it says 13 articles published and zero indexed. Do you know what that refers to? Should i just be ignoring it?
I have been following the training and i will take a look at any SEO info. Thanks for that lead. I'm just confused now. I feel a whole lot better though.
Thank you
Make sure that in WP > Readings > Settings, at the bottom of the page, the little box next to Search Engine Visibility is NOT ticked.
See Screenshot.
If it has never been ticked, could you take a screenshot of where you see that zero indexed, and add it in a reply here so I can figure out why that is so. ~Jude
Go into your site's dashboard.
Click on the wheel thing to the right, click site settings and choose your preferred version.
This is the task I am trying to complete from Google Search Console.

Have you done this? I can't figure out how to add more than one in my SEO settings.

I have had a .ca site since 2005 so I can't just get another domain. I was unaware that I could not use.ca until I had built my site. Tech support was very unhelpful 0/5 for se
I see no problem why you wouldn't be able to create a site for Canada?
.ca is the extension for Canadian sites. You can easily have Canadians as your main target on your site. If you already have it up and running, then why not continue with it.
All that is the fact is probably that you cannot run a .ca on WA hosting. But you can host it elsewhere.
Hosting a .com here and forwarding your .ca domain to the .com is also possible. It means however that your site is becoming a redirect. The other way around same story.
I do have redirects for domains that are similar, for example when I got a .com, .net, .org .eu etc then I forward everything to my main .com site and work on only one site.

I started my site, uploaded pro and the content is still in the library and I can see pages but they don't show up on the site. Is there a quick fix or do I have to rebuild eve
Where did you upload? Don't upload to media library. Go to themes. Select new theme. Then choose upload a theme
Upload and install
Should work fine
I went to themes and uploaded, now the template is on the site but I cant get content to stick
The new template shows up under my template menu and when I click on the customize button it takes me to the template. All my media and pages show up in the menus but not on the site.
I know this is probably a stupid question...but you have selected the theme and installed it as active?
The only other thing is that WA doesn't support some themes so perhaps check with site support
I had one theme that I used but as it wasn't supported by WA hosting I had to get another.
Yes I have installed it as active and it asks me to customize it so I guess that I will talk to support. Thanks for the reply and help.
Hi, I think every template is a little different. If by content..you mean posts?.. I had the same problem. I had to go into the customizer section of the template and enable the categories under 'menu' before they would display. Yours may be different, but some of the theme's need a few extra things activated to make them play the game. Hope this helps!
