When i google my site name i cant seem to find myself on google. Is there an error in the website or a visibility issue?

Hi @Shansb, 

It’s normal for new sites to not to appear in search results right away. Before a website can appear on search engines like Google, it needs to be “indexed” by that search engine’s bots. This process can take weeks to complete and isn't controlled by Squarespace. Check out this great Squarespace help article for more details:

Why doesn't my site appear in Google searches?

There are also some steps you can take to increase your site's visibility to search engines. To learn more, visit this other help guide here:

To add to what @Susana_SQSP said, there are less than 600 words on the entire site, so it is unlikely to appear highly in search results. 

That means that your side is still not indexed by Google, so it doesn't appear in the Google search results yet, which is for new sides normal.

To achieve, that your side is indexed by Google or even ranks at the first 10 results, your side has to the parameters of Google, which can be reached with a better SEO Performance.

If you want to know more about that theme, let me know 🙂

It looks like your domain was registered fairly recently so the domain authority will also be quite low. 

Neil Patel's blog is really good for SEO tips:

As is Moz's:

Hope this helps! 🙂
