Now that you’ve set it up, this is the screen that you will see when you go into Google Search Console.

If you have multiple websites, you can select the one you want by clicking the drop-down in the upper left.

To submit a particular page or post for Google indexing, bring it up on your website and copy the URL from the address bar.

Then paste it into the panel at the very top where it says “Inspect Any URL in (website name)” and press Enter.

After a few seconds, you will be told whether the URL is on Google or not.


If it’s not on Google, you can request indexing. If it is already on Google, but you’ve made changes you can request re-indexing.

The effect of this is to add the URL to a priority queue for Googlebot to crawl.

There are many other uses for Google Search Console, but they are beyond the scope of this training.

But hopefully, this will have helped to set up your sites for GSC and to use it to submit posts and pages for Google indexing.
