How to appear on Google and Bing with your website?

Goal

Get your site crawled and indexed correctly in search engines.

Step 1: Publish your sitemap

Make sure you have https://tudominio.com/sitemap.xml available.

Step 2: Register your site

• Google Search Console: add and verify your property.
• Bing Webmaster Tools: add and verify your property.

Step 3: Submit sitemap

From both tools, send your sitemap.xml to speed up URL discovery.

Step 4: Check for blockages

• Verify that robots.txt does not block key sections.
• Confirm that your important pages do not have noindex.
• Check that the site loads with HTTPS and responds 200 OK.

Expected times

Indexing is not immediate. It can take from hours to several weeks depending on authority, structure, and update frequency.
