How to get your website indexed?

Requesting a website to be indexed by a search engine is a straightforward process, but it involves a few steps to ensure search engines like Google, Bing, or others discover and rank your site effectively. Here’s a simpler way to request your website to be indexed:


1. Get Your Website Ready

Before asking search engines to index your site, make sure:

  • It’s complete and working properly.
  • You have a sitemap (a file that lists all your important pages).
  • Your pages are set to be indexed (no “noindex” tags).
  • It’s mobile-friendly and loads quickly.

2. Submit Your Website to Google

  1. Go to Google Search Console.
  2. Add your website and verify you own it.
  3. Click on Sitemaps and submit your sitemap URL (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml).

3. Request Indexing for a Page

If you want a specific page to be indexed:

  1. Open Google Search Console.
  2. Use the URL Inspection Tool and paste the page URL.
  3. Click Request Indexing if it’s not already indexed.

4. Submit to Bing

  1. Go to Bing Webmaster Tools.
  2. Add your site, verify it, and submit your sitemap like you did for Google.

5. Let Search Engines Find Your Site Naturally

You can help search engines discover your site by:

  • Sharing your content on social media.
  • Adding links to your site from other trusted websites.

6. Check Your Progress

  • Use Google Search Console to see if your pages are being indexed.
  • You can also search for your site on Google with site:yourwebsite.com to check.

The whole process doesn’t take long, and once your site is indexed, search engines will start showing it in search results!
