• My website is not visible unless you put in the website directly to google. Even very direct searches (eg my name (website name) – name of project) do not bring up my website. I have tried to find out why and have now downloaded google console. For sitemap it tells me there is an error and that the map is HTML – I don’t know how to fix this – or if this or indexing is even the problem. The Website is www.ads-software.com hosted by Godaddy. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • You will have to optimize your website for Search Engine (Google). Implement SEO strategies, optimize your meta and heading tags, etc.

    Read a guide about SEO, you can even hire an expert to do the job for you.

    While submitting the sitemap in Google Search Console, you need to submit this XML sitemap, not HTML: https://katewatson.org/wp-sitemap.xml

    Thanks – I have submitted the XML sitemap now. However, the pages still don’t seem indexed?

    Yes, as I mentioned earlier, You will have to optimize your website for Search Engine (Google). Implement SEO strategies, optimize your meta and heading tags, etc.

    Submitting sitemap isn’t enough.

    Moreover, there are many errors on your website, 404 pages, non-secure pages, etc. Check the search console for indexing errors (you might be able to see them now as you have submitted the sitemap)

    Consider working on those things and optimize your site for SEO. Doing it on your own might take months to rank on keywords.
