New site not getting indexed on any engines

[Tackle_Berry]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help, I have made a ecommerce site that has been live for around 3 weeks now, it was built with wordpress and woocommerce.

I have submitted it to all the main search engines, as well as made linkedin, twitter, facebook accounts for the site with links. Also heard that making a google adword campaign can help even when you don't proceed past the payments.

I'm not expecting the site to rank high straight away or anything but even typing the url in google search doesn't bring it up.

Also just thought it's worth mentioning, when making the site I was using a different company name and url, once the site was complete I decided on changing the name and url (TSO host switched the URL for me), the original name was indexed before finishing the build.

Any ideas would be really appriciated.

Thanks for the help.

I figured that it was probably the change of domain that messed it up. When doing the site I was just using a plug-in that put it in maintenance mode so people couldn't view the site but I didn't change the robots file to block indexing.

There is also a change of web address tool in Webmaster Tools you could use, but I'm guessing you don't have a Webmaster Tools account for the old domain.

Unfortunately I made the account but never got round to verifying the site.

Are you able to set 301 redirects up from the original domain that has been indexed?

No idea, what would I need to do to find out?

As for PPC, the plan is to do that very soon anyway so will that automatically sort the issue?
