How to Index an Article in Google Search Console

Welcome to Ben’s Experience! In today’s guide, I’ll walk you through the process of indexing an article in Google Search Console, using a blog built with Hostinger Website Builder. This step-by-step tutorial is perfect for those looking to boost their website’s visibility on Google.

Why Indexing Matters

Indexing your articles in Google Search Console is essential for making sure that your content is discoverable on search engines. Without indexing, your articles might not appear in search results, which could drastically limit the reach of your blog.

Step 1: Access Your Article

Start by navigating to the article you want to index. If you’re using Hostinger Website Builder, this process is straightforward. Once you’re on the article page, copy the URL of the page.

Step 2: Go to Google Search Console

Next, head over to your Google Search Console account. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to set it up first. Once logged in, paste the URL of your article into the URL inspection tool within Google Search Console.

Step 3: Request Indexing

After pasting the URL, hit enter. Google will check if the article is already indexed. If it’s not, you’ll see an option to request indexing. Click on “Request Indexing” and wait a moment. This tells Google to crawl your page and consider it for indexing.

Step 4: Verify Indexing

To verify if your article has been indexed, copy the page URL again. Go to Google and search for site:[your article URL]. If your article appears in the search results, it’s been successfully indexed. If not, give it some time and check again later.

Conclusion

Indexing your articles is a crucial step in ensuring they reach a wider audience. By following these simple steps in Google Search Console, you can improve your blog’s SEO and help more people find your content.
