Search Engine Submit
Get your web site in search engines. Submit your pages to Google, Yahoo! and Bing the right way, and check whether you're already indexed.
How to get your site indexed today
The old "submit to 100 search engines" services no longer help. These steps do.
Create a sitemap
A sitemap lists every page you want found. Most website builders and WordPress create one for you at /sitemap.xml.
Submit to Google Search Console
Verify your site, then open Sitemaps and submit your sitemap address. Use URL Inspection → Request indexing for important new pages.
Submit to Bing Webmaster Tools
Add your site (you can import it straight from Google Search Console) and submit your sitemap. Bing also feeds Yahoo! and other search engines.
Use IndexNow for instant updates
IndexNow lets you notify Bing and other participating engines the moment a page changes. Many hosts, CDNs and SEO plugins support it with one switch.
Check robots.txt
Make sure your /robots.txt file isn't blocking important pages, and that pages don't carry a noindex tag.
Earn links and keep publishing
Links from other sites help search engines discover and trust your pages. Fresh, useful content gives them a reason to come back.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to submit my site to 100 search engines?
No. Nearly all search traffic comes from Google and Bing (Bing results also power Yahoo! and several other engines). Mass-submission services don't help, so focus on the steps on this page.
How long does it take to get indexed?
New pages are often discovered within days once your sitemap is submitted, but it can take a few weeks. Links from other sites and fresh content speed things up.
Why isn't my site showing up?
Common causes: the site is brand new, a robots.txt file or noindex tag is blocking search engines, pages have very little content, or nothing links to the site yet. Search Console's Page Indexing report shows the exact reason.
