Step-by-step instructions
- Step 01
Confirm your public website is accessible without a login and that robots directives permit indexing.
- Step 02
Open Google Search Console and add the appropriate URL-prefix or Domain property.
- Step 03
Verify ownership using the supported method: DNS TXT for Domain property or another available option for URL-prefix property.
- Step 04
Find your sitemap, often /sitemap.xml, and submit it in Search Console.
- Step 05
Use URL Inspection for your homepage and important guides; request indexing where appropriate.
- Step 06
Create navigation and internal links from category pages to each guide so the URLs are discoverable.
- Step 07
Check indexing reports for errors over the next days and weeks, and correct genuine access or canonical issues.
- Step 08
Publish useful original guides and revisit them when tool settings change; Google may choose not to index every page.
Before you finish: important checks
- Submitting a sitemap does not guarantee indexing, search placement or income.
Common problems and fixes
- Google still shows an old portfolio snippet? Update the current page metadata, then allow time to recrawl; Google may choose its own title/snippet.
