We all know that getting ranked in Google is key for driving business to your site, but the first step is getting indexed. So how do you get your website indexed in Google?

One way is to wait for Google to find you on their own, but that can take a while. The good news is that there is an easy way to speed up the process.

The first step is to have a sitemap. I use a plugin called Google XML Sitemaps. Once you have your sitemap, you can submit the link directly to Google.

Go to Google Search Console and set up your website. From there your can go to Crawl > Fetch as Google and submit your sitemap.

Once the sitemap is submitted, there will be a button to ‘request indexing’. Make sure you select the option that includes linked pages as well. You can also submit any new pages you add to your site the same way, but you won’t need to include linked pages to those.

Now you just have wait for them to crawl your site and process everything. You’ll notice more and more data from your site showing up and Search Console each day but it can take a week or so to get fully indexed.

Once your site is indexed you can shift your focus to getting ranked!

Here is a video is there are further questions.

Can you explain this a little clearer?

The first step is to have a sitemap. I use a plugin called Google XML Sitemaps. Once you have your sitemap, you can submit the link directly to Google.

Go to Google Search Console and set up your website. From there your can go to Crawl > Fetch as Google and submit your sitemap.

Yeah. The plugin does all of the sitemap work for you and has a link (should be yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) and it will show up in the setting of the plugin.
When you go to Google Search Console, it will ask for your domain name first, then bring you page with the data for your site. On the left side there’s a menu, expand the ‘crawl’ menu and you’ll see an option for ‘fetch as google’.
When you go to that page it will show your domain with a box next to it. That’s where you will enter the part of your sitemap link that comes after the .com/. For example if your sitemap URL is yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, you would enter sitemap.xml into this box.
Then click either ‘fetch’ or ‘fetch and render’ to submit it. The request will show up lower down on that same page with the status of the request and will have a button to ‘request indexing’.

I hope this helped with that portion of the process. Let me know if you have any other questions.
