When a new site launches, it can take up to a few weeks to be searchable by just the name and then another 3-9 months for it to climb the Google ranks.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE INDEXED YOUR SITE WITH GOOGLE, IT TAKES TIME FOR GOOGLE TO CRAWL YOUR SITE, IDENTIFY YOUR SITE BY NAME, AND RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR SITE SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIFIC SEARCH TERMS.

If you want to invest in your SEO, I highly recommend blogging (grab our blogging mini-course here). To hire an SEO company, it will cost thousands of dollars, and since they don’t understand our industry, you may end up rewriting content that doesn’t make sense or sounds terrible.

SEO is a pretty complex topic. In summary, Google ranks sites in the search engine based on an algorithm that considers these many factors. We highly recommend investing in building relationships with referral sources rather than relying on people to find you on Google. In our experience, when you get into the driver's seat of your marketing, your business grows faster, and you attract more ideal clients.

A brand-new website cannot immediately compete with websites that have been getting “SEO points” for years. Your site is optimized for SEO, and with time, it will begin showing up more prominently in Google search results. Be sure to create a Google My Business listing to speed up the process and get found by local visitors who search for your services.

If your built-in domain appears in search results, even after adding a custom domain, it’s likely that your site was indexed before you made the change. You can resolve this by using Google Search Console to request a re-index.

You can request that an inspected URL be indexed by Google. Indexing can take up to a week or two; you can check the progress using this tool.

Some caveats when requesting indexing:

>>Indexing typically takes only a day or so— but can take much longer in some cases.

>>Submitting a request does not guarantee that the page will appear in the Google Index.

>>There is a daily limit to how many index requests you can submit. If you want many pages indexed, try submitting a sitemap to Google.

To request indexing for a URL:

>>Inspect the page URL.

Click Request Indexing on the inspection result page for the URL. If the page passes a quick check to test for immediate indexing errors, it will be submitted to the indexing queue. You cannot request indexing if the page is considered to be non-indexable in the live test.
