If I buy a domain on vercel and use it, will my site appear when it's searched on Google ...

A custom domain purchased with Vercel will work the same as a custom domain purchased with any other registrar. No worries there!

However, getting the site to appear in Google search results involves more than just a custom domain name. You'll need to make sure your site also has appropriate content, metadata, headers, `robots.txt`, keywords, etc. I always recommend [Google's SEO Starter Guide](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/seo-starter-guide) as a good general resource.
