I've recently launched a website called https://www.balancednuttitionsolutions.ca just about a month ago. Despite having submitted it to Google Search Console and setting up SEO essentials like meta tags and descriptions for my pages and images, my site still doesn't appear in Google searches. Google Console indicates it's not being indexed due to a 'page with redirect' issue. I previously ran a similar site at www.balancednutritionsolutions.com. Could this past site be causing any conflicts for my new one? I'm pretty lost on how to get my site visible in search results and would greatly appreciate any help!

You might be up against a lot of competition in the nutrition niche. It's tough unless you have something very specific to draw attention to. Just a heads up, even for your domain name, ranking may be tricky, given how saturated that space is.
You can check if your site is indexed by Googling "site:balancednuttitionsolutions.ca". If Google Search Console says the pages aren't indexed, it should provide a reason—like duplicate content or a canonical URL issue. Sounds like your indexing problems might be due to something like that.
Just in case it's worth checking: when searching on Google, are you inputting keywords like 'dietitian in London Ontario'? If so, and you're still not appearing, more waiting could be necessary.
Try accessing your website with "www" in the URL. It looks like you're currently redirecting from "balancednutritionsolutions.ca" to "www.balancednutritionsolutions.ca". If Google was informed of the non-www version, it might not be indexing correctly due to this redirect issue.
Just to give you a timeframe reference, when I helped a friend set up her website, it took about a week for it to start showing up on Google. It's only been a month for you, so maybe give it a little more time?
It's good to know, but I've been waiting a month already, and it's still not indexed.
I get the redirect part, but it's frustrating since Google Console insists my page isn't indexed. It's been a month and I'm not showing up at all. My new site has a .ca domain, while the old one was .com, which makes me wonder if there's an issue with perceived duplication.
