Square Online site doesn't show up in Google Search even with the SEO option set to visible

[SandiR2]

My online store has been open for about 6 weeks now. I originally had a custom domain that was hosted elsewhere but switched back to a square.site domain a couple of weeks ago. The SEO info is filled out and set to visible, but my store doesn't show up in a Google search no matter what search terms I use. (The store name is Whisk and Bowl Bake Shop, at whisk-bowl.square.site) Is there something else I need to be doing for it to show up?

With billions of web pages out there - and some of them paying to be shown at the top of results - Search Engine Optimization is a complicated beast to master, @SandiR2!

There's a lot of great content about how to improve SEO results out there online, but you could start with this post from us. It's got some really useful tips about actions you can take to improve your ranking.

I noticed that your Site Title is currently Whisk+Bowl Bake Shop. I'm not sure if it might help, but have you considered spacing out those words? (ex: Whisk + Bowl) It can take a while for Google to update a change like that, but it might be worth trying!

In Square, go to Settings, Tracking tools.

Add a tracking link for the using Google search console and Bing. Bing is easier to setup, start with that.

Follow the instructions provided by Google and Bing.
