The two main ways to do it are to submit a sitemap in Google Search Console and to request indexing for individual URLs with the URL Inspection tool. I&rsquo;ve submitted several websites to Google in the past, but I just launched a new website recently, which means I need to do it again. I figured since I&rsquo;m going through the process anyway, I might as well document it and share it with you. This way you can see how I personally go about making sure that my websites are visible in Google and you can follow the same process to get yours out there too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Even though web crawlers automatically find and index websites over time, it&rsquo;s beneficial to submit your website to Google manually by using Google Search Console (GSC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registering your website with GSC allows you to control how your website interacts with Google search, among other benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating a sitemap and submitting it to Google improves the chances that your website gets discovered faster and is mapped better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\"

If you&rsquo;re unsure, check with your host&rsquo;s support team. Also, note that some providers use their own custom panel instead of cPanel, in which case, you&rsquo;ll also have to reach out to their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming your hosting company uses cPanel and you&rsquo;re able to log in successfully, then the next step is to find and select the <strong>Zone Editor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128161; If you&rsquo;re having trouble finding it, there should also be a <strong>Search Tools<\/strong> bar on the top right where you can simply type it in and it&rsquo;ll come up in the results.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image

If you want, you can filter them by record type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is useful in case you&rsquo;re unsure if a TXT record with the Google Search Console code has already been added previously. Sometimes people own domains for a long time before they decide to do anything with them and often don&rsquo;t remember what was already done (or not done) in the past. (I speak from personal experience when I say this &#128514;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that applies to you, then click on the TXT filter button. It will show you only the TXT records so that you&rsquo;ll be able to quickly identify if anything says &ldquo;Google Site Verification.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, if the coast is clear, you can click on the <strong>small down arrow<\/strong> next to the <strong>Add Record<\/strong> button on the right.

href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-sitemap\/\">A sitemap<\/a> is a file that provides search engines with information on the different pages on your site. Once you have submitted a sitemap, Google can then easily retrieve your site&rsquo;s pages and index them for Google Search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most reliable way to create an XML sitemap is to use your CMS, your site platform&rsquo;s built-in tooling, or a dedicated sitemap generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar assistants can sometimes help draft a sitemap or organize a list of URLs, but they shouldn&rsquo;t be treated as the universal primary method for creating one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you built your site with WordPress, then you may not need a plugin at all because modern WordPress versions include a native XML sitemap by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since not everyone is a WordPress user, I will first show you how AI tools can help draft a sitemap, and then I&rsquo;ll go over the built-in WordPress option plus the plugin method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-sitemap-with-chatgpt-or-a-similar-ai-tool\">Create a sitemap with ChatGPT (or a similar AI tool)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a sitemap with ChatGPT, first create a free OpenAI account (if you don&rsquo;t already have one) and then log into it. Although you can use ChatGPT for free without logging in, it may be more helpful when extra features are available in your session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the difference below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This

template that has your domain filled in, but not much else. When extra capabilities are available, AI tools may do a better job helping you draft a sitemap or organize page URLs. Still, you should review the output carefully and make sure the final file is a valid XML sitemap before you upload it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you get your sitemap, the tricky part is how to add it to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will depend on what platform or technology you used to build your site and where you&rsquo;re hosting it. Since that&rsquo;s going to be different for everyone, I recommend simply Googling: <em>how to submit XML sitemap on (insert your hosting company)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-sitemap-with-a-wordpress-plugin\">Create a sitemap with a WordPress plugin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress users are spoiled for choice when it comes to generating XML sitemaps. In fact, modern WordPress sites usually already have a native sitemap at <code>yoursite.com\/wp-sitemap.xml<\/code>. There are also numerous plugins that can do it. One popular choice is the <strong>XML Sitemap Generator for Google<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-google-sitemap-generator\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"google-sitemap-generator\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"dashicons-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"wppic-style-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin is robust and gives you numerous options to customize your sitemap. However most basic websites will be fine with the default one, which is <strong>automatically generated when you activate the plugin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; If you&rsquo;re using WordPress core&rsquo;s default sitemap, go to <code>yoursite.com\/wp-sitemap.xml<\/code>. If you&rsquo;re using a sitemap or SEO plugin, it may give you a different sitemap URL such as <code>yoursite.com\/sitemap_index.xml<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep this URL handy because you&rsquo;ll need to submit it to Google in the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you do want to browse through the settings to customize your sitemap before submitting it to Google, you can access them from the WordPress dashboard by going to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &rarr; <strong>XML-Sitemap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-submit-a-website-to-google\">Step 3: Submit a website to Google<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To submit your website to Google, switch back to Google Search Console and make sure you&rsquo;ve selected your website using the <strong>Search Property<\/strong> drop-down menu in the top left corner.

However, the current SEO landscape looks different than it did even a year ago. This is due to several big updates that Google made to their algorithm in the first half of 2024. The main advice most professionals are currently suggesting is to focus on Google&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2022\/12\/google-raters-guidelines-e-e-a-t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">E-E-A-T principles<\/a>.

Hope it helps! &#128250;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TL;DR:<\/strong> verify your site in Google Search Console, submit your sitemap, and use URL Inspection for important individual pages when needed. If you&rsquo;re on WordPress, check <code>\/wp-sitemap.xml<\/code> first before installing a plugin. And if you use AI to help create a sitemap, treat it as a drafting aid and review the final XML carefully before submitting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Do you have any additional questions about how to submit a website to Google?
