How to check this setting?
1. Log into your WordPress website.
2. Head to the “Settings” then “Reading” settings
3. Make sure the “Search Engine Visibility: Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is NOT checked.
If it IS, uncheck it, save the settings, clear your cache, and resubmit page URLs and/or sitemap to Google via Google Search Console (I have a tutorial on how to do both of these options on my YouTube channel — search “Mariah Magazine”)
When SHOULD this be checked?
👉 If your website is in development mode
👉 If your website isn’t ready to be launched
👉 If you don’t want to be found on Google
This setting is EASILY overlooked, but can make a massive difference when it comes to SEO (like getting found or not).
And sometimes website designers/developers forget to UNCHECK it after launching, or if you’re DIY’ing your site, you might not even know this setting exists at all.
