Listen "Getting Found Online: Search Engine Indexing"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Human Friend Digital Podcast, Jacob and Jeffrey break down one of the most essential aspects of SEO: Google indexing. They discuss how Google’s “spider bot” crawls the web, visiting sites to gather information, and the importance of being indexed—because if Google can’t find your site, it won’t show up in search results.Jacob explains the key factors that impact whether or not a site gets indexed. Things like “no index” tags, technical issues, or even slow Google response times can affect how quickly (or if) your site gets added to Google’s vast database. Tools like Google Search Console can help monitor this, but it’s a slow and often frustrating process—likened to the DMV of the internet.They also touch on best practices like using proper meta tags, URL structures, and schema markup to ensure that your site is not only indexed but indexed correctly. Jacob and Jeffrey make it clear: if your site isn’t indexed, it’s as good as invisible online.Google Search Console:https://search.google.com/search-consoleYoast:https://yoast.com/IndexNow:https://indexnow.org/Schema:https://schema.org/Schema JSON Creation Tool:https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/Test Your Schema Before Going Live:https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-dataTo ask questions, or submit topics you'd like us to cover in the future, visit us at humanfriend.digital/pod/
