To check if your site is indexed by search engines, here are some simple steps you can follow:
1. **Use Google Search**: Type `site:yourwebsite.com` into Google’s search bar (replace “yourwebsite.com” with your actual domain). If your site’s pages appear in the results, they’re indexed. This is a quick way to see what specific pages Google has indexed.
2. **Google Search Console**: If you haven't already, set up Google Search Console. This tool provides detailed information on your site’s indexing status. In the **Coverage** report, you can see which pages are indexed and if there are any issues that need fixing.
3. **Inspect URL**: Within Google Search Console, use the **URL Inspection** tool to check if a specific page is indexed. Enter the URL, and it will tell you if Google has indexed it or if there are any issues.
4. **Use Bing Webmaster Tools**: Similar to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools provides insights into your indexing status on Bing and other search engines that use Bing’s index.
5. **Site Audit Tools**: Many SEO tools (like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz) offer site audit features that can show your indexation status across major search engines. These tools also identify pages that might be blocked or have technical issues affecting indexation.
Checking your
website indexing regularly helps ensure it’s discoverable in search engines.
