Website not appearing in search?
Hi,
We created a website for the fire department in my town (using IONOS) and uploaded it, including a domain, etc. Now the problem is that the website can't be found or displayed in a regular Google search, but only when entering the link. Is there any way to fix this, or do I just have to wait?
Greetings
It can take some time to crawl the pages.
Especially for Google it makes sense to use the website at Google Search Console to register and analyze/optimize it.
Without wishing to approach you, but this question is regularly asked, then sometimes it is very helpful to look at the previous questions… 😉
Therefore, only one answer that I too often copied:
It takes a while to get the index trays through your new page.
You can accelerate this by pinching your sitemap to Google. You don’t necessarily need the search console.
The sitemap should be found under www.*deine Domain*.de/sitemap.xml or www.*deine Domain*.de/wp-sitemap.xml. Try out where it will show you. Then you use the following URL to alert Google that you have a new sitemap:
https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=* Insert this URL of the sitemap*
Important, it must be the complete URL of the sitemap, e.g. https///www.*deine Domain*.de/wp-sitemap.xml
It can be that it takes some time until the homepage can also be found via Google Search. In any case, it should be taken care to observe SEO when creating.
If we have already adhered to all the requirements for SEO, it should be hopefully 🙂🧐
Wait and watch SEO when creating the page
The update of the search index can take some time. If you have bad luck, you have a robots.txt that shares an indexing of your pages as undesirable. If necessary, look at the log of the visitors as to whether the Google crawler appears.
