Notify Google and Bing about your website in 5 simple steps. 🤩 ✋

1. Submit your site to Google Search Console or Webmaster.

A sitemap is your file that lists all the pages of your site. By submitting your site to Google Search Console (for Google) and Webmaster (for Bing), you are letting the search engines know about all the pages on your site that the search engine otherwise might not know.

Here are a few screenshots that help you view the performance of your websites and pages on Google and Bing.

3. Include relevant keywords in website content

You can inform Google what your website is about by including relevant keywords in the website content. This helps Google rank your pages for relevant searches.

Google uses a complex algorithm to determine which keywords your site will show for in search results. This algorithm takes into account various factors, such as the content of your site, the relevance of that content to the search query, the quality and quantity of backlinks to your site, and the user experience of your site.

Letting Google know about your new website is key to being seen and getting attention from visitors.

Google has started to optimize showing content from forums like Quora and Medium in its recent HCU. Here's a statement from SEO Round Table

Google's Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan, explained that while SEOs hate to see Reddit and other forum threads show up so often in the Google Search results, searchers like seeing them. In fact, he said that searchers seek content out from these forums, and this is why Google shows them so often in the search results.

Your future customers are out there, asking questions on forums like Reddit and Quora. Answering user's questions and presenting their solutions with your website pages is the best way to solve problems for potential customers.

By adding backlinks from forums, you are driving traffic to your site which can help your site get noticed faster by Google or Bing.

This is the most simple way to get visibility. By adding your website link to your social profiles like Linkedin, or Twitter, every time someone visits your profile click on your website. Similarly while performing email outreach or working with vendors, do add your website link to the email signatures. Drive traffic, by just being visible 😄

Well, that's it, folks! Hope you enjoyed the article 😄
