Why doesn't my website appear in Google?


Google has bots crawling the web and indexing public pages at all times - the majority of sites listed in their results aren't manually submitted for inclusion, but found and added automatically over time.

You may need to create a Webmaster account for this purpose. This isn't something that we can support or assist with as your hosting providers, however there are some external guides available on this subject. One example is shown here: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/beginners-guide-to-google-webmaster-tools/

There's also a WordPress specific guide here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-seo/
