Simple & Savvy SEO Tip - How to tell Google Search Console about new or updated website content👇👇

I've just updated an old blog on a client's website. The content was last updated in 2021 so I wanted to tell Google about this improved blog. Now, I could wait for it to crawl the site but that can take anything from a few days to a few weeks. I like to notify Google so that it can get a wiggle on and come and have a look at the new content ASAP.

It only takes 2 minutes to do if you already have a Google Search Console set up. Here's how...

1. Go to Google Search Console

2. Click on URL inspection

3. Add the URL to the search box at the top of the screen and search

4. Google will tell you if the page is indexed or not. It will show the date of the last crawl of that page

5. If Google doesn't have the latest version of the page indexed, click on 'Request Indexing'

6. Google will check whether the page can be indexed. If it can, that's it. Job done!

Give this tip a go if you want to be sure Google knows about your website content.

If you don't have a GSC account and need help to set one up, get in touch.
