“Live” vs. “Not Live” Sites

In Reason, only "live" sites are visible to search engines. If you are working on a new site whose content is not yet ready for public consumption, the site may be in a “Not Live” state. Sites that are not live can be viewed in a web browser if you know where to find them, even though they cannot be read by search engines.

If your site is not live, you will see a notice in the upper right corner of the Site Admin page. [FIGURE 1]

When you are ready to make your site live and have it show up in search engines, contact your web administrator.
