SEO-related changes you make on your website are not immediately reflected in search engines. Google<\/b>, for example, normally takes from a few days<\/b> to a few weeks<\/b> to crawl and update this information in the search results.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Google Search Console<\/a><\/b> is a free-to-use tool developed by Google that will help you speed up the process! To manually request Google to index your website pages, follow the steps below.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

1. Open your Google Search Console account. Insert your domain and click on Continue<\/b>:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Search<\/div>

\n<\/p>

2. Verify your domain ownership by adding the given TXT record<\/a> <\/b>to your domain’s DNS zone.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

This can be achieved by going to your Domains tab<\/a><\/b> and clicking on “Manage” button<\/b> for the desired domain. Then, you will click on “DNS \/ NameServers”<\/b> on the left toolbar<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Finally you will have the ability to add the respective TXT record that was provided by Google Search Console (make sure to select the TXT record, not HTML file):<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Google<\/div>
\n

Make sure to select the TXT record method on Google Search Console, not HTML file method 🚀<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Hostinger<\/div>

\n<\/p>

3. Give the new TXT record 10–15 minutes to spread across all servers worldwide. After 10–15 minutes, go back to Google Search Console and click on Verify<\/b>. You will see the following message once your domain is verified:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Ownership<\/div>

\n<\/p>

4. Once your website is verified at Google Search Console, click on URL inspection<\/b> on the left. Enter the URL of the page you’d like to index and click on Request indexing<\/b>:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Google<\/div>

\n<\/p>

Repeat this step for the rest of the URLs you want Google to index.<\/p>

\n

The URL should contain WWW only if the WWW prefix<\/a><\/b> is enabled in your website’s general settings 💡<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
