3 Easy Steps to Submit Your Site to Google and Get Indexed For SEO

Want to rank high on Google? Well, the first step is getting indexed. Without that, you won't even be found.

Step #1: Sign up for Google Search Console - this allows you to see your website like how Google see's your website (at least to some extent).

This allows you to see if Google has any issues which may cause your site to not be indexed.

Step #2: Create a sitemap - using the Yoast SEO plugin you can create a sitemap. If you don't have a WordPress blog you may have to do this manually, but this one file is what search engines use to quickly index your whole site.

Step #3: Submit your sitemap - take that XML sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console.

Every time you update your website, Google will update their index on their end as they pull from your sitemap.

It's that simple... follow those 3 steps and you will be indexed in Google.

Thank you so much Neil for the valuable content. I've been facing indexing issues for months and now I could see where I am going wrong. Can you also make a video and share a guide on backlink indexing as well pls? I've generated a few backlinks, but it does not appear in the list when I check the number of backlinks I have.

What are the requirements before i apply my blog to adsense? Aside from create pages like about us privacy policy and more... How many words is the minimum for my blog post?

I have a question! I created a blog in 2013, quit posting in 2015, and just started posting again in April 2022. I renamed the blog as well. What do I do to show Google I’ve renamed the blog and to transfer any data from the old blog name to the new blog domain? It looks like Wordpress automatically did the redirects when I renamed my domain. My traffic is falling, and I wonder if the name change has something to do with it?

Hi Neil. Please help me. I have already done the 3 steps you mentioned here. But I still can't see my blog in the search results. The sitemap has been successfully submitted.

Thanks for the great video! I have noticed that on my sitemap the pages all have numbers of value. Some are zero and some 1 or two. Why is this and what does it mean?

[muhammadazam]

Hey Neil, Does AMP Pages are required a Separate Sitemap to be submitted? Because, when I was checking Google Search Console the URL showed "Indexed, not submitted in sitemap" for AMP version of the Site. What should I do? Please Guide me

[checkpoint]

If any reason I changed some URLs those are already indexed on Google, what will happen?

[petsarcade]

I've submitted my shopify website sitemap but it says 'couldn't fetch' . But Page Fetch indicate as Successful. Also, the console indicates that the website is indexed but sitemap not submitted. Appreciate if you could advise. Tq.

[pinkman]

Hello sir, I'd like know that if i have to submit url of my recently posted blog when i immediately publish it in website or let Google take time crawl whenever it usually does? Which would be better?


In Google search map it will of course update any changes i made but if i separately submit any bolg url will it create any problems?
