Your Website Doesn't Talk To Google

You spent all this time teach yourself how to build a website.

Got adjusted to a new website editor.

Now that it's all done — where's your traffic?

It's a question that plagues anyone that runs a business website.

In order to answer it, I need to cover some basics.

First up: your website needs to be crawled.

How do we do that? 3 ways.

1. Include a sitemap on your website

2. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console

3. Include Meta Robots Tags on all pages you want Followed & Indexed

That clears up the majority of issues of not receiving any traffic.

Now — if you receive emails from google talking about pages being "discovered - but not indexed" or "crawled - but not indexed" — you will need a further fix.

For that, I use URL Monitor.

You add this to Search Console, and it will automatically index your pages for you.

That's all I got for you today.

Thanks for reading,
