If you register your site with Google, It has a positive impact on SEO as it is easier to be crawled by search engines.
This site registration (search engine registration, homepage registration, URL registration) mainly utilizes the functions of the free search console.
On the other hand, if you don’t register your site, you can’t promote crawling.
In other words, the crawling of the created web page (blog article) may be delayed or may not be crawled.
If so, the content of the web page is not well recognized.
As a result, underrepresented web pages are indexed and do not rank well.
To avoid such a bad situation, register your site with Google and improve craw lability.
Based on this point, this time, I would like to explain the points that are easy for beginners to understand, focusing on how to register the site on Google.

Why Google Needs Site Registration
There are several reasons why you may need to register your site with Google.
- How long does it take to find a site
- Because we can expect a large number of customers
How long does it take to find a site
Why do you need to register your site with Google Because it takes time to discover a site.
For example, let’s say you have a new site that has just been launched.
In the case of this site, there is a high possibility that there are few links ( backlinks and internal links ).
If there are few links, it will take longer for the crawler to find and crawl them.
If that happens, it will take a long time to discover the linked site, and it will not be indexed during that time. (Your site will not be displayed in the search results)
As a result, you will lose the opportunity to get search traffic.
In order to avoid this opportunity loss even a little, it is necessary to register the site with Google.
By the way, not only new sites but also existing sites may have few links or low-quality links. The Crawl ability
of such sites can be easily improved by increasing the number of links or taking measures to improve the quality. In conjunction with this measure, let’s actively work to register the site on Google.
Because we can expect a large number of customers
Why you need to register your site with Google This is because we can expect a large number of customers.
For example, Google is used by 77.66%, Yahoo by 14.35%, and Bing by 7.42%.
If you index the Google search engine that is most used by search users, you can expect more search user visits.
In other words, you can expect a high level of customer attraction.
In order to secure this high ability to attract customers, it is necessary to register the site with Google.
By the way, even if you do not register the site, it will be naturally indexed (collectively registered) in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
However, as mentioned earlier, it may take time to discover the site, so it is important to actively register the site on Google.
Registering your site on Google will be Google’s SEO, and naturally, it will also be Yahoo’s SEO, which will lead to the promotion of the ability to attract customers.
How to register your site with Google
To register your site with Google, basically use the function of the search console.

Request indexing
To request indexing, First, log into Search Console.
After logging in, click “URL inspection” in the menu, enter the page URL you want to request indexing in the search window, and click Enter.
Then you can check the indexing status of the page URL you entered, and at the same time, the “Request indexing” button will be displayed.

To do this, we mainly use the functions of Search Console.
On the other hand, if you don’t use Search Console, you can’t promote crawling.
In other words, you can’t send an indexing request or sitemap, so you can’t tell Google about your site and page information.
If that happens, crawl ability will not improve, and the possibility that content will not be properly recognized will increase.

This is especially true for new sites, sites with few links, and sites with low-quality content.

After that, it is important to register the site with Google and improve crawl ability.
