4. Add Pages to Your Sitemap


Your sitemap is a convoy to make search engine spider understand which of the pages on your website are significant.

Though including a page in your sitemap isn’t a guarantee for indexation, but failing to add such significant pages will reduce the probability of getting pages indexed.

If you’re running a WordPress site, it’s insanely easy to build and submit a sitemap leveraging a plugin like Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, and others (but I use Yoast SEO).

Once you’re done building and submitting your sitemap in Google Search Console (GSC), it can be viewed in the Sitemaps report.

Verify to ensure all the pages you want to index are added. Also, check to ensure all pages you don’t want to index are not added to your sitemap.

Hey Israel, I just wanted to follow-up on my last message. So I requested indexing just like you suggested and less than 24hrs my post was indexed in Google. This is the quickest I ever got one of my posts indexed, so many thanks.

Hey Joy, yes we do have a lot of work to do in order to rock our blogs and the online world. Getting pages indexed as quickly as possible is one of the things most newbie want to learn about, even though there has been a little change in the process. Thanks for your contribution, my friend!

Thanks for leaving a thought, Claudio! Much appreciated, my friend! With the Google Search Console (GSC), you can simply submit your website URL for indexing once you've hit the publish button or at anytime you wish to index any page of your site. Thanks for your contributions!

Thanks for the training Israel. This is the second time you were able to help me out on something. I had no idea you could request indexing. I finished a post the other day and it still hasn't been indexed so I'm going on GSC to request indexing.

Again, many thanks.

Most welcome, Ron! Sorry, I couldn't respond to this on time. It was due to a cogent reason. Glad you found this training piece helpful and much excited to know you've got helped by one of my training resources in the past! Thanks for letting me know! Yes, pages can get indexed so quickly if those strategies are implemented.
