Before internet users will be able to find your site using the search box, your site will first need to be indexed by the search engines.
Indexing is the process of the search engine algorithm going through each of your website pages, making a copy of the page, and adding it to its index. It takes time for new sites to be picked up and indexed by the search engines and can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months and is out of our control.
This is a complex process of sorting through the millions of new sites published every day, figuring out what they are about, indexing and ranking them in order of importance so that the right ones come up at the right time. If you take a moment to imagine the millions of webpages on the internet you can see why this can take some time.
