4 Steps to Get Your New Website Listed On Google

But, before your website starts to appear in Google Search results, there are a few things you need to do to give yourself a head start.

Click on the Settings option for any of the pages and you’ll be taken to the ‘Page settings’ for that page. Here you can update the metadata (the text that Google uses and the customer will see in search results) for each page. This is an important part of SEO and ensuring it is done correctly will help your website to rank better and increase traffic.

Don’t forget to add a social sharing image too! This controls how your content is displayed when shared on other sites, even if the page being shared doesn’t have images. Posts with images are more likely to get engagement so this is a really easy way to encourage users to view your content.
