Hi,
https://www.ashleymichaelbriggs.com/
Site's been up for a month. Have tried Google Indexing twice, both failed. This is frying my mind - I feel like I'm back at high school physics class. Please can some one offer some tips. Thanks in advance. (Domain is hosted off squarespace if that has anything to do with it. And I have another URL pointing to this one, ashleybriggs.co.uk)
When I type in https://www.ashleymichaelbriggs.com/robots.txt or use a robots.txt Validator and Testing Tool I get this, which seems ok, right?;
