Google: New Web Sites Homepages Should Get Indexed
Google has said that new websites' homepages should get indexed without a problem. If not, then the site has a bigger issue.
In a podcast episode, Gary Illyes, a webmaster trends analyst at Google, said that "For new sites, especially the home page, should be very simple to get indexed. If that doesn't get indexed, then that definitely points to some bigger problem."
He added that Google's systems are built such that homepages, like domain.com, will get crawled pretty much first and get indexed first.
If you've recently launched a new website and your homepage is not indexed, there are a few things you can check:
Make sure your website is up and running and that you can access it from a web browser.
Check your Google Search Console account to see if your homepage has been submitted for indexing. If it has, you can request a recrawl.
Make sure your homepage contains unique and relevant content.
Use internal links to connect your homepage to other pages on your website.
Submit your website to other search engines and directories.
It can take anywhere from several hours to several weeks for a new page to be indexed by Google. If you've checked all of the above and your homepage is still not indexed, you can wait a few more days and then contact Google support for assistance.
Here are some additional tips for getting your new website indexed by Google:
Use a descriptive title tag and meta description for your homepage.
Create a sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console.
Get backlinks from other websites.
Promote your website on social media.
By following these tips, you can increase the chances of your new website getting indexed by Google and appearing in search results.
