Portfolio not to find in search enginges

I created a homepage in Adobe Portfolio a few months ago
https://herbertrulf.myportfolio.com/
and published them. If you have this link you can also see it.
But if you just search for my page in Google or Bing by e.g. just entering my name in the search, you won't find the page. It is obviously not available for the search engines, although I have ticked the appropriate box in the settings. I've tried everything, including linking to Behance, to no avail.
What else can I do. If Adobe offers the creation of a homepage, it must also be possible to find it in the search engines.

Thanks in advance for your help

It could take a few months or more for Google & Bing to find and index a new website. 

 

#1 Create a Google Console Account and add your website property.

#2 Verify Site Ownership. Add custom meta tags to your Portfolio site.  See link below for more details.

Your meta tag will resemble this:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="your_google_code_here" /> 

 

3. Once your site is verified, you can ask Google to index your site.

 

4. URL Submission to Bing:

Hope that helps.

is there a place to enter "key words" on your portfolio site?

Ha!  Keywords are useless.  Search engines stopped giving importance to keywords 15 years ago. Content is king now!!

Unique page titles, relevant descriptions and keyword-rich content are what drive search engine traffic to websites. That and paid ads. 🙂
