🚀 Quick Fixes (Do These First!)

1. Check if Google Knows Your Site

   • Search: site:yourwebsite.com (replace with your URL).

   • If no results, Google hasn’t indexed it yet.

2. Submit to Google Search Console (Most Important!)

   • Go to Google Search Console → Add your site → Verify ownership.

   • Click "URL Inspection" → Paste your homepage → Request Indexing.

3. Submit a Sitemap

   • Find your sitemap (usually yoursite.com/sitemap.xml).

   • In Search Console → Sitemaps → Add the URL.

🔍 Why Isn’t My Site Showing? (Common Reasons)

✅ New Site? Google takes days to weeks to index fresh websites.
✅ No Backlinks? Google discovers sites faster if other sites link to you.
✅ Technical Issues? Check for:

• noindex tags (blocks Google).

• Slow loading speed (use PageSpeed Insights).

• Broken pages (fix 404 errors in Search Console).

📈 How to Get Indexed FASTER

✔ Share on Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).
✔ Publish Regularly (Fresh content = Google crawls more often).
✔ Get Backlinks (Ask friends to link to you, comment on blogs, or post on forums).

🚫 Still Not Working? Try These!

• Force Crawling: Use the Google Indexing API (for developers).

• Check for Penalties: Search Console → Security & Manual Actions.

• Fix Duplicate Content: Use canonical tags if pages are too similar.

💡 Pro Tip:

Google prioritizes useful, fast, and mobile-friendly sites. Improve your SEO (keywords, meta descriptions) while waiting.
