How to Request Google to Index Your Website
Requesting indexing for your posts on Google is straightforward. Here's how to do it:
Request Indexing for Your Homepage Access the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console and simply click "Request indexing." If your site structure is well-organized (details to follow), Google should be able to discover and hopefully index all the pages on your site.
Use Internal Links Leverage internal linking if you already have indexed pages on your blog. This means linking from your indexed pages to your non-indexed pages, which can help Google crawl and index them more effectively.
Link Building For new pages, it's crucial to signal to Google that your pages are active. Building links from reputable sites within your field, such as linking from well-known platforms like Wikipedia or industry-leading websites, can significantly help in getting your pages noticed and indexed by Google.
If the problem persists, check the ‘Why pages aren't indexed’ table in the ‘Page Indexing’ tab of Google Search Console for possible reasons.
