Dramatically improve your SEO by organically submitting your site organically to the top search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Check out this article to learn how!

Google

In order to organically get Google to submit your web pages directly to their index, you'll need to first register your site with Google Search Console. You can either add an updated sitemap to your Google account, or submit an index for the desired URL through Fetch as Google.

Since Googlebot crawls billions of web pages, directly submitting your site will speed things up. You can always resubmit your website if you've made any changes, so that Google will index your website's latest version.

!Note: You cannot verify your website using Ucraft's provided subdomain. You'll need to either use your Custom Domain or another verification method.
