  1. How To Index A Website: A Step-by-Step Guide to index link Introduction If you want to see your website in the search results, it's vital that Google indexes it. Indexing is the process of adding a website URL to Google's database so that its pages can be crawled and indexed. The benefit of having your site indexed is that it will show up in the search engine results when someone searches for keywords related to your business. Also, check out this "backlink indexing service". This guide will show you how to get your site indexed by creating a new Gmail account and then submitting sitemaps through Search Console (formerly known as Webmaster Tools). Step 1: Create a Gmail Account ● ● Create a Gmail account Make sure you are logged out of any other Google accounts that you might have. If you aren't logged out, it will be confusing for the next step. Use this new Gmail account to create your Google Search Console account later on in this guide, or if not you can also use it for submitting your sitemap to Google (which we'll get into later). ● Step 2: Log Into Google's Search Console To log into Google's Search Console, you'll need to create a new account. The process is quick and painless, so don't sweat it too much. Once you've signed in, you'll be taken to the main dashboard of your newly created account. On this page are several different sections—one of those sections is on the left sidebar entitled "Crawl." We will go into more detail about each individual section soon enough but for now let's focus on getting started with crawl. Step 3: Add a Google Search Engine Account To add your Search Console account, go to the [Google Search Console](https://www.google.com/webmasters/) website and log in with your login details for that account. Then, click on "Add a Property". You'll be presented with two options:

  2. ● Add a new site (to add a property) Manage existing sites (to manage an existing property) If you want to add the website you want to index, choose "Add a new site". Otherwise, if you already have other websites and want to manage these properties instead of adding new ones, choose "Manage existing sites". Step 4: Submit Your Sitemap to Google Once you've indexed all of your site's pages, it's time to tell Google and Bing where they can find them. To do this, follow these steps: ● Go to the Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account (this is the same place you would log in if you were going through the process of creating a new Webmaster Tools account). Click on "Search Appearance" then click "Sitemaps." Click "Crawl" to get started. You'll see a screen that asks which sitemap type you want to submit: XML or HTML. Choose XML—this will allow Googlebot (the bot that crawls sites) access to all of your pages at once without having to parse out an HTML sitemap file for each one individually (which would make things much more complicated). Next up we have some fields for submission information: Site Name, File Name and URL. These should be exactly what they say on the tin; just use common sense when filling out these fields so as not cause any confusion later down the line when someone else has access or needs access again! For example "examplecorporationcom_sitemap_20190517010004967124580000002e8cdb0d19a6b4 300b7f15dd1c413e9d26fc9eba6fbb7551157bf432" might be confusing compared with something like "examplecorporationcom_sitemap_.xml". Add as many URLs as needed by clicking on + Add New Sitemap.. ● ● ● Step 6: Track Your Indexed Links With Serp tool You can also track the indexing of your links by using a free tool from SERP. The main benefit of this method is that it’s free. If you don't have the budget to pay for a subscription service like Moz Pro, then Serp tool is a great alternative. Here’s how it works: ● ● Enter your URL into the search bar on SERP (make sure you're logged in). Click on "Indexed Pages" under "Links" on the left side of the screen (this will display all of your indexed pages). Conclusion

  3. So, that’s how you index link your website. It’s not as hard as it seems and the best part is, once you have all these things in place, a lot of the work will be done for you!
