Preparations before Website Indexing

If we want the website we build to be indexed by search engines such as Google, we should do some detailed work from the very beginning of building to ensure that the website contains content when Google comes to crawl. InWordPress Beginner SEO Setup Tutorialwhat is actually discussed are things to do after the website is built. Before building the website, we should also do one thing, which isPrevent Search Engines from Indexing When the Website is Not Fully Built. Using WordPress is very simple; we have an option whenInstall WordPress. As shown in the figure below:In the above figure, check the function that advises search engines not to index this site. This way, search engines like Google will not crawl and index your website. When our website is fully built, we only need to go to Settings > Reading and uncheck this option, and it will no longer block indexing, allowing Google to index your website normally.

Let Google Index Your Website

When your website is fully built and you have disabled the visibility to search engines function, we can start letting search engines like Google crawl and index your website. The specific operation methods are as follows: 1. Submit the website sitemap to major search engines. If you don't have a sitemap,read this article firstcreate one, and then go tomajor search engine submission portalsto submit your sitemap. 2. Register aGoogle Search Console accountand add your website to it. Usually, within one day after completing these operations, you can check whether your website is indexed by Google using the site:domain method.If more than 3 days have passed and Google still hasn't indexed your website, then you need to check the following:

1. Whether you forgot to enable the option for visibility to search engines;
2. Whetherrobots.txt fileis blocked;
3. Whether the website server is blocking search engine crawls (for example, if the firewall is blocking it, you can use search engine crawl testing tools to determine, or installspider logging pluginCheck if there are logs.)
4. Whether the website content is not yet fully developed (for example, just the website is installed, no content has been filled, the homepage is empty, with only a 'hello world' post)

Getting a WordPress website indexed by Google is quite simple. Basically, after you submit the sitemap address, Google spiders will crawl and fetch your website 24/7. To improve Google SEO, you also need to regularly add valuable content to the website to gain search engine rankings and obtain more traffic.
