Why can’t I find my website on Google?

Why can’t you find my website on Google? That’s a good question. Although people often think that Google knows everything, you will still have to tell Google that your website is made and is online. Google can’t smell that. And if your website is not known in the Google database, you will miss a lot of clients and readers.
Website builders
There are thousands of companies online that offer a website at ridiculously low rates. Some make a profit by populating your website with advertisements. Others let you pay for every small technical component with upsells. But they do make a profit.
Website training
Many of these companies give you a small explanation about the technical side, but you often have to figure it all out for yourself. And that is really not easy for a layman. Some do well, who give extensive training when starting a website. But there is a price tag attached to that. You understand that online training for a web designer and developer is not free.
Here we come to your question, “Why can’t I find my website on Google?” That is a normal part of website development training. How to register a website with Google, Bing, Baidu, or Yandex. They can throw you in the deep, with the announcement, find out for yourself, but that did not help you.
Website support
Then you consult the helpdesk, and you wait hours, days, weeks for an answer. Which ultimately doesn’t really help. It makes you hopeless and you want to throw your website out the window together with your computer. A good helpdesk and technical support team are a must.
Some have a forum and a member community that can assist you. But if you ask a question, you will be fooled and get answers like:
If you can’t even do that, then go on!

Website security and hosting
Not every website host has security # 1. Often you have to invest a lot of money for extra backups and security. That is not included in the starting price. As a result, your website can be easily hacked. And there are quite a few low-lives out there that take pleasure in messing up your website. (Almost) No host gives you a security lock (SSL) or does daily backups to keep your website safe. Nor do they take responsibility for your site speed and spam and malware blocking.
Website costs
As a result, the costs for a website vary enormously! What do you get for your money? A bare website?

Website visitors
A number of things are very important to attract visitors to your website.
- Is your website findable by the search engines?
- How do you profile yourself on Social Media?
- Are you not using copied content?
- Is your website technically well-structured or are there any errors?
- How do you advertise your website?
- Is your website secured with a padlock?

- Are your blogs attractive or do you have large blocks of text?

Website pictures
When you use photos or images for your website, you have to be very careful. Not every image is copyright free. There are a lot of rules attached to it. You can’t just Google an image and put it on your website. That can bring you a big fine.
