If your website isn’t visible on Google, all your online efforts are dead in the water. Google is the largest search engine on the planet. So you must please the Google gods, otherwise, your brand will be invisible to consumers. Nobody will know about your brand or what you do. Online visibility starts with crawling and indexing.

Getting online attention via your blog sounds easy.

Publish mouth-watering content. Share your posts on social media. Sit back and watch droves of visitors flood your site while you sip pina colada. 

Perfect, right? 

Well, it’s deeper than that.

When people do a Google search, the mighty Google search algorithm kicks into action, crawling, searching, filing, ranking, and finally spitting out the most appropriate results from among billions of web pages.

Crawling is the foundation of all. If Google doesn’t index your web pages, you are pretty much non-existent as far as search engines are concerned.

In this section, we will look at indexing, how it works, and how to get your website indexed faster.
