Builder Brands: How To Submit Your Website To Search Engines

In today's modern internet world, submitting your site to search engines is no longer necessary; even so, most processes that existed for this have since been retired. Companies like Google and Bing now offer easy-to-use portals known as Webmaster Tools, free services that provide website owners with a series of benefits.

Although there are many factors to learn about Search Engines and their Webmaster Tools, in this article, we will cover why Search Engines are essential and what you can do to manage your sites from Webmaster Tools.

Search engines defined

Once you've made the final changes to your website and are ready to go live, you may ask yourself, "How do I make sure people see my site?"

• Almost every small business and do-it-yourself will ask this question.
• The answer is “through search engine optimization” or “SEO.”

SEOis a series of methods and best practices that most developers study and implement to encourage meaningful page views when people search online encyclopedias known as Search Engines. SEO involves many factors (most of which are unknown to the general public to prevent intentional manipulation) that work similarly to how physical building codes would work; basically, there's a "right way" and a "wrong way" to build a site, and the major search engines are the ones who set these rules.

Webmaster tools

Since websites in search engines involve a series of data points, search engines like Google and Bing have created management portals known as Webmaster Tools.

Here, you can perform various actions, such as adding websites to the search engine listings, verifying your sites, setting up sitemaps, etc. The dashboards that come with each Webmaster Tools account provide access to reporting tools, diagnostics, and notifications, including alerts and helpful tips.
