Get Your Site on Google

Follow these steps to get indexed in Google Search within 1-2 weeks

Good News!

Your site is already SEO-optimized with schema markup, meta tags, and a sitemap. Now you just need to tell Google about it!

✅ Schema markup (done)
✅ SEO meta tags (done)
✅ XML Sitemap (done)
⏳ Google Search Console (let's do this now!)
1

Go to Google Search Console

Visit Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account (use the same account as your Google Business Profile).

Open Google Search Console
2

Add Your Property

Click "Add Property" and choose "URL prefix" (not Domain). Then enter your site URL:

https://rentnortheast.co.uk

Important: Choose "URL prefix" not "Domain". This lets you verify without DNS changes.

3

Verify Ownership

Google will show several verification methods. The easiest method is "HTML tag":

  1. 1Google will give you an HTML meta tag (looks like <meta name="google-site-verification" content="...">)
  2. 2Copy that tag
  3. 3Add it to your site's <head> section (in the main HTML file)
  4. 4Click "Verify" in Google Search Console

Alternative: If you can't edit the HTML, use the "Google Analytics" method if you already have GA installed, or the "Domain name provider" method (requires DNS access).

4

Submit Your Sitemap

Once verified, go to "Sitemaps" in the left menu and submit your sitemap URL:

https://rentnortheast.co.uk/#/Sitemap

This tells Google about all your pages so they can be crawled and indexed faster.

5

Wait & Monitor

Google will start crawling your site within a few days. Check Google Search Console regularly to see:

  • How many pages are indexed
  • Search queries people are using to find you
  • Your click-through rates and rankings
  • Any crawl errors that need fixing

Timeline: You should see your first pages indexed within 3-7 days. Full indexing takes 1-2 weeks. Rankings will improve gradually over 2-3 months.

Bonus: Speed Up Your SEO

1. Link from Your Main Website

Add a prominent link from rentnortheast.co.uk to this landing page. Call it "50% Off Special Offer" or "Landlord Calculator". This passes SEO authority and helps Google trust the new site.

2. Update Your Google Business Profile

Add this URL as an "Appointment Link" or mention it in your business posts. This creates valuable backlinks.

3. Share on Social Media

Post your area guides on LinkedIn, Facebook, and property forums. Each share helps Google discover and index your content faster.

4. Request URL Inspection

In Google Search Console, use the "URL Inspection" tool to manually request indexing for your most important pages (homepage, key area guides).
