Find out if your website has been indexed by Google. Why?

If you have a new website, less than a week or so old, or are planning a new website, you should know that it will take a little time before Google "finds" it. Until then, you can't really expect to see any traffic.

When you perform a search in Google, the results do not show a "live" listing of websites. The Search Engine Results Page (SERP) displays sites that have been crawled and indexed by Google. The SERP is actually displaying what is in Google's index. One of the easiest ways to see if your website has been crawled (found) and indexed by Google is to check www.indexedbygoogle.com, it will display a simple "YES" or "NO". Really cool tool. If your site has not been indexed by Google, you need to submit the site to Google Local.

Create a sitemap for Google

If you haven't done so already, creating and uploading a sitemap for your website will help Google by telling it what is on your site and how it is organized. A sitemap is an .xml file that you will create and upload to your root folder. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Create a free sitemap here: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
