There's a smarter way to do SEO. SEO techniques, such as this, will help you increase traffic, rankings, and visibility in search results. Following the General Guidelines below will help Google find, index, and rank your site.

Don't Wait For Google To Crawl Your Website

Ask Google to crawl or recrawl your website. It can take Google up to six months to crawl a website, but by utilizing various methods that can improve your site crawling, this amount of time this process takes can be reduced to days. You need to take your site to Google. You need to tell Google, in all fairness and honestly, what's your site is all about. Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

Submit Your Site to Google Search Console

By submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console, formerly called "Webmaster Tools," you can speed up the rate at which Google indexes your page.

Submit Your Link Directly to Search Engines

A quick and easy way to speed up the indexing process is to submit your web link directly to search engines via websites like Entireweb. This way, you can save time and money while increasing your possibility of staying highly ranked in search engines.

Use the robots.txt File

Use the robots.txt file on your web server to manage your crawling budget by preventing crawling of infinite spaces such as search result pages. Keep your robots.txt file up to date. Learn how to manage crawling with the robots.txt file. Test the coverage and syntax of your robots.txt file using the robots.txt testing tool.

Here's how to enable robots.txt file in your Google Blogger Blog.

Go to our Dashboard>Settings>Crawlers and indexing, and enable it by clicking the toggle button as shown in the picture below.

Then copy-paste the code below in the field box.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://yourwebsite.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Don't forget to change the Sitemap URL to your website URL.

Install Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a great way to track several marketing metrics, follow growth and trends on your website and allow Google to index your site more efficiently.

Add Structured Data to Your Website

The Structured Data Markup Helper helps you mark up elements on your web page so that Google can understand the data on the page. Once Google understands your page data more clearly, it can be presented more attractively and in new ways in Google Search.

Add Last Modified Date

Do you want to show the Last Modifed date on your post? Here's the code:

<time expr:datetime='data:post.lastUpdated.iso8601' expr:title='data:post.lastUpdated.iso8601'>
<data:post.lastUpdated/>
</time>

Never The Use Default Permalink

Never use the default permalink auto-generated by your CMS. Always go for a custom permalink which can be set in your post editor for every post.

Things To Avoid

Don't fill your page with lists of keywords, attempt to "cloak" pages, or put up "crawler only" pages. If your site contains pages, links, or text that you don't intend visitors to see, Google considers those links and pages deceptive and may ignore your site.

There are many strategies for speeding up the rate at which Google notices your new webpage or website, but it can be overwhelming to try and figure out which strategies are right for you.
