So I found a keyword that had 0 QSR competition and decided to write a post around the keyword. This was over a week ago. So today I checked to see if my site would show up under that keyword. When I searched using the quotes "", Google said that no results were found. SO I was wondering how to get Google to see my site faster. So I discovered that Google has this really neat webmaster tool that allows you to send your site or page to them to be crawled faster. Crawling is this really neat algorithm / machine learning software that searches your site and categories and ranks it accordingly.

Here are detailed instructions:

1. Go to: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ and log in or go directly to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?continue=/addurl
2. If you haven't already, add and verify the site with the "Add a Site" button
3. Click on the site name for the one you want to manage
4. Click Crawl -> Fetch as Google
5. Optional: if you want to do a specific page only, type in the URL
6. Click Fetch
7. Click Submit to Index
8. Select either "URL" or "URL and its direct links"
9. Click OK and you're done.
