It can take between 24 and 48 hours for your website to go live across the internet. We'll let you know when this has happened and provide details to access your emails if we are providing this service. We will also be registering your website with search engines in order to prompt them to index your website. In theory, it can take a few months for Google to index your site but in reality it usually takes a few weeks or even days. Until you have been indexed, your site will not appear in search results. Your ranking for different search terms will improve over time but is of course dependent on competition for similar websites in your sector. Please see our SEO service for information on how to improve your search engine ranking.
