How long before my website shows up in Google and other search engines?

Newly launched websites will not appear in search engines, such as Google, instantly.
Two things need to happen before a website appears in their records:
  1. They need to crawl your website to record the new content. BigBlackBag will introduce your website to the major search engines and some lesser known ones as well shortly after you activate your account.
  2. Then they need to update their index with the new content. Again, this happens periodically but we have no control over when they do this.
These can take up to 12 weeks to complete.
You may be able to speed up the process if you sign up for a google webmaster account and then submit the sitmap.xml file we automatically create and update for your website.
You'll find the sitemap URL here:
Website Controls > Manage Settings & Metatags > Metatags Tab

You should read the following article about verifying your domain name for Google, here:
