Index Your Website With Google

So you have made a website but it doesn’t show up on google? Well! Chances are that you haven’t indexed it with Google. What does that mean? It means that you need to add your website to google so that Google is aware that your website exists and it can be shown upon searching for it. Google usually automatically indexes a website if you have built it the right way. But if for some reason it doesn’t appear in the search results, it means that you need to manually add your website to Google.
