Index my site

To get Google to index your site, you need to ensure that Google can discover and crawl your website’s pages. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Submit Your Website to Google Search Console:
   • Go to Google Search Console.
   • Add and verify your website.
   • Submitting your site to Google Search Console allows Google to be aware of your website and its structure.
2. Create and Submit a Sitemap:
   • A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the pages of your site.
   • You can generate a sitemap using tools like Yoast SEO (for WordPress) or a sitemap generator online.
   • Once you have the sitemap, submit it via Google Search Console under the “Sitemaps” section.
3. Ensure Your Site is Crawlable:
   • Check your robots.txt file to ensure it isn’t blocking important pages from being crawled. For example, it shouldn’t contain Disallow: /.
   • Use the “URL Inspection Tool” in Google Search Console to see if any important page is blocked from indexing.
4. Promote Your Website:
   • Share your content on social media platforms and get backlinks (links from other websites pointing to yours). Backlinks help search engines find and index your pages faster.
5. Update Content Regularly:
   • Google favors fresh content. By continuously updating or adding new pages, you make it more likely for Google to crawl and index your site more frequently.
