However after several days no changes have appeared. In this blog you will read more on how you can assist Google to index your pages earlier.

Is the first time you will let your website be crawled by Google bots? Then add you website in Google Search Console (this can take a couple of days). Go to the sitemaps folder and enter the sitemap URL of your website. When you click on sending, Google bots will search for your website.

Do you want to re-index a URL? Then click on URL-inspection in the left sidebar. The URL that you want to get indexed will be requested, fill in the URL. Google search will show if the URL has already been indexed or not.

When the URL has not been indexed yet this will be indicated, then click on “Request for indexing” to apply.
