As a rule of thumb, your website will appear in the search results if it’s present in the search engine index. To make it happen, you need to put the quality content and place it where a search engine spider can find it. So, when you’re done with on-page stuff to optimize your website, you better proceed towards submitting website to Google Search Engine.
In this blog, we’ll tell you how to submit your website to Google, when you should do and why is it necessary. So without further ado, let’s begin!
Why should you submit a website manually?
Choosing to submit your website manually is optional. Due to Google Algorithm, search engines easily discover web pages by following links. Google is most likely to find your website even if you don’t submit the site URLs. So it all comes down to making sure that Spiders can easily find and crawl all your web pages within your site. However, it should be noted that choosing to manually submit the content can help big time in most cases.
When should exactly submit a website to Google Search Engine?
Manually submitting your site URLs work wonders in the following cases:
New site
In case you’ve launched some new subdomain or site, it’s better to manually submit your page URLs to search engines. This way it becomes easier to make your new pages indexed and crawled sooner. And the rest of the website also gets visible as spiders crawl on the links present in the submitted pages.
Incomplete indexing
For some reason, if your webpage never appears in the search engine index, you should manually submit the page URLs.
Updated page
If you’re making any big or small changes to any of your web pages, you should submit the URL. This will surely speed up the indexing and you won’t have to wait for spiders to crawl and explore your web pages.
