This is what’s referred to as ‘indexing your website’ and in this video, we’ll show you how to do it.

We'll show you how to index your WordPress website, or get your WordPress website to show in Google Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). For this, we'll use the free Yoast SEO plugin [New + updated interface 2020], and Google Search Console (previously Google Webmaster tools).

Once you’ve created a new website or blog and you’re ready to share it with the world, there are a few simple things you need to do in order to make sure people can find it.

The process to index your website regardless of which platform you’re using is:

1) Ensure the Googlebot can access the pages of your website that you want to be indexed. This relates to your robots.txt file. If you’re a WordPress user, this is really easy and we’ll show you how to do this shortly.
2) Set up Google Search Console for the property or domain you want to add to Google, and
3) Submit your sitemap via Google Search Console, and request Google to crawl your website.
