When you launch your website or apply new content, Google does not instantly index it, however it is not difficult.

Without indexing, Google will never show your content in its search results for keywords you that should get you found.

 

First of all check to see if Google has indexed your website. Open your browser and simply type in site:yourURL.com

and view what in the search engine database. If your site doesn’t show up, then that means it’s time to go to work getting Google’s attention.

 

Step 1: Have Your Website Ready With Content

To get Google to notice your site, you need to understand what it’s looking for.

In a lot of ways, Google is an online library that houses the most information in the world.

Like any library, it has to categorize the information it receives to keep everything in order and easy to find.

With that in mind, consider this:

What if a library receives a book with a great title and cover design only to open it and find that it was completely blank. What would they do?

Probably set it aside and keep it off the shelves because the book is utterly useless.

The same applies to Google.

If it comes to a website that has no content like pages or blog posts, then it’s not going to want to “put it on the shelves” so to speak. That’s why having content on your website should be your first step.

All of your pages and blog content should have unique, useful content available.

That way, when Google does crawl your site to index it, it will have a much better chance of sticking.

 

Step 2:  Create and Submit a Sitemap

Once you have good content in your website, create an XML sitemap, sign up to Google Search Console and verify your site. Then submit the XML sitemap to the Google Search Console

 

Step 3: Start Sending Traffic to your Website

Even when it is not indexed yet, you can refer people to your blog and website through social media bookmarking, blog commenting, and recipricol linking.

 

Now that you’ve been sending traffic to your site, and you submitted your sitemap, go back to Google Search and try searching your URL again.

If your site is indexed by Google, then you’re good to go. If not, just keep at it and checking on it.
