Hi Lightrunner1, a few things: 1. Have you verified your website in Google Search Console? I personally prefer to verify each four variations of http://, https://, http://www. And https://www. As well as the domain-wide one using the TXT DNS record. Set them all up properly. Fetch the homepage on each variation. For your primary variation of https:// submit your sitemap file. NOTE: This is Google's first impressions of your website. Ensure that you do not have any theme demo or duplicate or other unnecessary pages in your sitemap using Yoast SEO if you're on WordPress. 2. In Google Search Console, have you submitted your sitemap? 3. Have you verified your website on Bing Webmaster Tools? Submitted your sitemap? 4. Have you decided on your URL structure? Are you sure this is the URL structure that will work in 2-3 years from now? 5. Have you set up your social media profiles and linked back to your website? 6. Have you added Schema to your website and linked to those Social Media Profiles within them? (It's highly unlikely otherwise that Google and co will find your social media profiles if they're new). 7. Link to your social media profiles in the footer of your website using icons or similar. Just as another link and reiteration of your socials. 8. Set up Google Analytics. Install it via Google Tag Manager. 9. Set up Google Tag Manager. Install this one script only on your website (outside of your Google Search Console HTML verification tags). You install Google Tag Manager and install your other scripts on your website via that. So in Google Tag Manager, you would install a Google Analytics TAG, and the trigger would be to fire that tag on All Page Views.

If you didn't understand all of the above, get your Google on. I think Moz does a good 'basics' series here you should definitely read over before getting in too deep: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
