My website is built with Discourse, and I have optimized the SEO. I also have a sitemap, but Bing has been unable to crawl and index it. How can I fix this?

Can you share the URL of your site? That could help us debug the issue

Does it properly show on Google and other search engines?  
What does the bing webmaster tool say?

I think the main issue might be that there is no content to index.

Before worrying about SEO, I would make sure to get the community going first 🙂

Hmm, that seems reasonable, but I don’t know how to make my website popular. Can you give me some suggestions?

But Bing is sure, will it index my website after I become popular?

Will this really work?

Without a search engine, where will my traffic come from?

This is where your skills as community manager come in handy 🙂

A good place to start:

> **[Building a Discourse Community](https://blog.discourse.org/2014/08/building-a-discourse-community/)**

> Sure, anyone can set up their very own Discourse in 30 minutes or less. But how do you get people to go there?
