How to help my website get listed on Google
You may have created and published your website but might not be seeing it listed in the Google search results.
To understand the process of how your website displays in the search results, we encourage you to check Google’s documentation here.
To manually assist with the indexing of your website, you can submit your website’s sitemap to Google.
Please note that this does not guarantee that Google will show your website or speed up their process as many factors are taken into consideration on their end.
To access the sitemap for your Webready website, add /sitemap.xml to the end of your website url.
E.g. https:/mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml
Google provides different options to submit your sitemap, see their documentation here.
One of the simpler methods is to use a ping tool in your browser. See Excerpt below:
Use the ping tool. Send a GET request in your browser or the command line to this address, specifying the full URL of the sitemap. Be sure that the sitemap file is accessible:
https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=FULL_URL_OF_SITEMAP
The Ping method basically means that you will place the following line in your browser address bar and click enter, ensuring that you use your actual website url instead of "https://mywebsite.com":
https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml
