SKG0369 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 My website is jobsandskillsstandards.org, if I search for it in google it doesn't show up nor does any of the keywords I use to search. What do I need to do? I thought by default I get SEO. Thanks in advance for the help. S Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) It takes a long time for Google to find a new site. The quickest way they know about it is through visits and lots of hits. My site has two domains, one is only a few days old and is now my primary domain, but it shows up on Google search because the site's original address is old with lots of hits. Put the word out to friends and family and have them visit your site, a lot. Increase the hit count. Having a link to it here helps as well. Posting http://jobsandskillsstandards.org in the Feedback On Your Site forum may increase the number of hits. Edited June 22 by derricksrandomviews usamajame87 1 Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) If you have not done so, add your site as a property in Google Seach Console and get Google to crawl it. https://search.google.com/search-console/about Edited June 23 by derricksrandomviews Link to comment
Solution Sifat_SEOSpace Posted June 24 Solution Share Posted June 24 Hi @SKG0369 I can help you with your current situation. Below, I've provided some potential insights that might be helpful: It's common for newly published websites to take some time to appear in search queries. This delay is due to the indexing process that search engines like Google undertake. First, submit your sitemap on Google Search Console so that Google can discover your pages efficiently. Use the URL Inspection Tool to perform live tests for all the URLs and submit indexing requests while doing the live tests. It will help refresh the data in the search results and index the pages. Here are some resources to guide you through the process: URL Inspection Tool: https://youtu.be/Pe_-TkdbXN0 Google Search Console Guide (+ Tips & Tricks): https://youtu.be/WAjd9B7whgY?si=lqQFSaFU2LFw2jx You will find the full Squarespace SEO checklist here and If you prefer to receive personalized recommendations on your website, check out SEOSpace.

What do I need to do? I thought by default I get SEO. Hi @SKG0369 "SEO by default" - Squarespace provides tools to allow you to set up SEO (titles and descriptions, meta descriptions etc) for your website. There is a list of things that can be done outside of Squarespace to optimise your website for search engines. That list depends on your needs, but I will share some basic steps. What keywords are you using to search in Google and failing to see results? I can see that only your homepage is in Google's index. See screenshot. What you can do: Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console. Although you probably already have, as your homepage is indexed. You could wait and do nothing, Google will eventually index all the pages in your website if possible. Request Google to index your web pages individually. This way you tell Google all the pages that you want to be in Google, rather than wait for Google to crawl your sitemap. Note, this will still take time, although potentially faster than just submitting a sitemap. Once your pages are indexed, check that you have optimised your pages for your keywords. Potentially more work on this, depending on your answer to bullet number one. Hope this helps.
