SEO setting need help, please

[lar1]

 I have had my Weebley Pro account website on the Internet for about 2 weeks now but the search engines have not found it yet. Would someone be so kind as to look at how I have my SEO settings (see image) and tell me if I am missing something or doing this all wrong?  How long does it typically take for these to show up on the search engines? Is it vital to enter Header and Footer info in the seo? If so, what does it want for these 2 boxes? Do you see any obvious Google Crawl errors? Hope I'm not violating any of the community policies by adding this image, if so, please feel free to remove this posting

There are more than billion websites and I am sure there are thousands of website promoting bibilical stuff.  So what is so unique about your website that search engines would jump at the chance of listing it?  It may take a while, increase traffic, write blogs, get cross linked from other website and follow the suggestions from weebly's guide to SEO.   And then seat back and relax.

Thanks for your reply - but what is unique about my site is it's the only one I've seen with original images that none of the others "Biblical" websites can't begin to compete. I think search engines should jump at the chance to pick it up. Did you look at the image I included in the post? You didn't comment on that - If you would, please to a look and see the filled in the SEO with the type of information that needs to be in there to be found, no matter when that is.

I realize everyone SEO info is different but I just mean does it look like what search engines are looking for  - in general.

@lar :  I have no idea.  I just responded because you seem to be in hurry to be 'found'.  When I was in web design business I thought of branching in to SEO as well.  However, after careful thought I decided against it.  Main reason:  Those who hire SEO experts expect miracles - they expect to be on the first page of google search and that ain't gonna happen.  So if you are trying to menetize your hobby, read up - there are many many articles about the SEO animal. Then sit back and relax - it will take a while.  If you are in 'real' business hire some good marketing experts.  In my opinion quality of content, quality backlinks, good copy  are few of the important factors.

@lar 

In the HEADER CODE you can put the CANONICAL TAG  )

Did u tell GOOGLE that you have a website? Hitting publish is not the same thing.

You have to set up with GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE and BING WEBMASTERS    and submit a sitemap

And then, have lots of great content, user friendly posts and a hole lot more.... besides. 

@NJRFTF added Weebly's own SEO guide..  ( forget SEO help blogs designed for other platforms)

What is the CANONICAL TAG?

@lar 

https://www.weebly.com/seo/canonical    it is code that tells GOOGLE  and others that the content on this particular page is the original!
