It seems complicated to make my site private while I work on it. Tried a plug-in that didn’t work so I’m wondering if it’s possible that my website would show up in search results randomly. it’s in a competitive market and I wouldn’t want people to know about it before it’s ready. privating the site seems complicated so will people actually see it in search results? I’ll probably just private it tomorrow but I’m curious if any of these sites ever get random views before advertising at all?

If you think how competitive SEO is, I would say you have no need to worry. You could block access to googlebot to prevent your site getting indexed. I usually put up a ‘launching soon’ page as my home page and then work away as normal.
On a brand new never used domain, I’d say its highly unlikely that you’d just get indexed. Even then, without seo, you probably won’t show up anywhere. If you’re replacing an existing site or if someone else had the same address previously then it’s more likely.
