Tim thanks for your answer - yes sitemaps are up and I just fixed my robots.txt file to allow crawlers in.
But when I try to log into the Google webmaster tool's <https://www.google.com/webmasters/#?modal_active=none> search console, I get the message admin.google.com is for G Suite accounts only. Regular Gmail accounts cannot be used to sign in to admin.google.com. Learn more <http://www.google.com/support/a/answer/6375836?hl=en> when I learn more I get to a page that offers a 14 day trial. Is there another way to invite Google to crawl my instance ? It looks to me that Google now wants to make money on both ends, webmaster support and advertising.
