Google Site Verification & Index
Learn how to submit your Wegic website to Google Search Console so it can appear in search results.
Get Your Website Found on Google
Once your website is published, you may want people to find it through search engines like Google.
Search engines regularly crawl websites and add them to their search index. After your website is indexed, it can appear in search results when people search for related keywords.
Wegic websites are built to be accessible to search engines. However, it may take some time for Google to discover and index a new website automatically.
To speed up this process, you can register your website with Google Search Console and request indexing manually.

FAQ
How Google Finds Your Website?
Google uses automated systems called crawlers (sometimes called “bots”) to explore the internet and discover websites.
These crawlers:
Visit your website pages
Read the page content and structure
Add the pages to Google’s search index
Once your site is indexed, it becomes eligible to appear in search results.
For new websites, this process can take a few days to several weeks if you rely only on automatic discovery.
Submitting your site to Google can help speed things up.
Why can’t I find my website on Google yet?
If your website was recently published, Google may not have indexed it yet.
Submitting your site to Google Search Console and requesting indexing can help speed up the process.
Do I need to submit every page manually?
No.
Submitting your sitemap usually allows Google to discover most pages automatically.
However, you can manually request indexing for important pages.
