Submit your website to Search Engines
It is good practice to let Search Engines know your site exists. This page will guide you in doing this successfully.
Add your website to the Google search results
If you want to add your website to the Google search results, visit the Google Search Console . You’ll need to add your website and verify that you’re the owner of the associated domain name.
When you enter your domain you need to answer the following question for yourself: Do you want to use the ‘www’ sub-domain in the search results? You can not change this later. Registering your domain in the Google Search Console multiple times won’t result in a better ranking.
When you completed the registration in the Google Search Console, visit the Sitemaps page. Pass your sitemap.xml to Google. Make sure that Google can crawl your sitemap and will keep doing this.
Add your website to the Bing search results
If you want to add your website to the Bing search results, visit the Bing Webmaster Tools and complete the given steps. Not all fields are required.
Don’t forget to configure your sitemap URL. After you verified your website you’re all set and Bing will now index your website.
Add your website to the Yandex search results
If you want to add your website to the Yandex search results, visit the Yandex.Webmaster and follow the given steps.
Don’t forget to configure the sitemap in the Yandex.Webmaster.
Add your website to the Yahoo search results
If you want to add your website to the Yahoo search results, finish your Bing search results registration. Yahoo will use that data.
Why should you use a sitemap?
A sitemap is an XML file with a list of all the available pages on your website. It will be used by crawlers and search engines to find pages on your website.
The sitemap file is automatically generated and does not need any maintenance.
