Google Page Indexing (Put Your Website Online)

   Your website appears in Google search results

• Indexing means Google has discovered and stored your site pages in its database, making them eligible to appear in search results.

• Without indexing, your site won’t show up in Google — even if people search for it directly.

How to Get Indexed:

1. Submit Your Site to Google:

   • Use Google Search Console to submit your sitemap or individual URLs.

2. Create and Submit a Sitemap:

   • A sitemap helps Google understand your site structure and find all pages.

   • Common formats: XML sitemaps (e.g., /sitemap.xml).

3. Ensure Crawlability:

   • Avoid blocking search engines via robots.txt or meta tags like noindex.

4. Publish Quality Content:

   • Google prioritizes indexing valuable, original, and well-structured content.

5. Build Backlinks:

   • Links from other reputable sites help Google find and trust your content.

6. Use Internal Linking:

   • Link between your pages to help Google discover them more easily.

Helpful Tools:

• Google Search Console – For submitting URLs, checking indexing status, and monitoring search performance.

• URL Inspection Tool – See if a specific page is indexed and request indexing if it’s not.
