Congratulations on purchasing your first domain and creating a new website! However, if it’s not appearing on Google and other search engines, don’t worry. With a few simple steps, you can make a successful digital entry and boost your online presence.

Welcome to the digital world! Congratulations on transitioning your business, blog, or personal page to the digital realm. However, we must ensure that search engines register your website to maximize the efforts put into it. In this document, we will confidently examine the step-by-step process of introducing a new website to the digital world without compromising on the meaning of the text or removing any markdown formatting such as headers, bullets, or checkboxes.

Digital Entry of a New Website

Installing SSL is not just an important step, it is a crucial one. By securing your domain with SSL, you can confidently assure that your website is secure and falls under the category of secure connections.

Step 1. Pay Attention to Technical SEO When Building Your Website

By technical SEO I mean at a simple level: Title (i.e. site title, page title), description (page descriptions), keywords (keywords), tags, URL paths (URLs you create must be related to the page, for example domain.com /about us).

When building your website with WordPress infrastructure, installing an SEO plugin is crucial. Among the many options, Yoast SEO is highly recommended. With its Turkish language pack and support, the free version of the plugin is a great start. However, for more professional outcomes, the Yoast SEO Pro comes highly recommended, priced at $89 for one domain. Once purchased, it allows unlimited use for the domain, but note that updates are only available for one year.

When you install the free version of the Yoast SEO plugin, you gain the power to address any deficiencies in your page titles, descriptions, keywords, and more. Keep in mind the length criterion and refrain from creating content that is either too short or too long. With this plugin, you have full control over these crucial details.

Step 2. Add Your Website to Google Search Console

This stage is crucial. Although Google conducts automated scans, it is still essential to manually add your website to Google Webmaster Tool or Google Search Console to ensure proper indexing.

To add your domain for free, simply visit the Google Search Console page and confidently click the “Add a Property” button located at the top right of the panel. It’s that easy!

The thing you need to pay attention to here is that you should add all kinds of extensions of your domain. For example; Like https://www.faruktoprak.com + https://faruktoprak.com.

Step 3. Adding Google Search Console Sitemap .xml

Once you have added your website to Search Console, confidently take the next step of sending a sitemap to the console. Simply log in to Search Console, and click on the “Crawl/Sitemaps” button in the left-hand menu, which can be found directly under the “Directory as Sitemaps” option in the new panel.

After installing the Yoast SEO plugin, your sitemap will be automatically created at domain.com/sitemap.xml. Therefore, simply enter “sitemap.xml” on the opened page.

Step 4. Registering Bing Webmaster, Adding Sitemap .xml and URLs

To get your website recognized by Bing’s search engine, the first step is to confidently register and verify it using the Bing Webmaster panel. Once logged in, head to the “My Sites / Add Site” section at the top of the page to easily add your website.

Once you have added your website successfully, confidently upload your sitemap by going to “Sitemaps” under “Configure My Site” on the left menu. Then, add your website map at domain.com/sitemap.xml.

A key task that we must not neglect is manually submitting our website URLs to this panel. Fear not, for this is a simple task that can be accomplished in just a few clicks! Head over to Configure My Site, click on the Submit URLs button, add the URLs, and hit send. Keep in mind that we can only send up to 10 URLs per day and 50 URLs per month, but that’s no problem for us! We’ve got this covered.

Step 5. Google Tag Manager Installation

Installing Google Tag Manager may seem daunting, but with our easy-to-follow steps, it’s a breeze. First, simply log in to Tag Manager using your Google account and access the panel. From there, add your domain to the panel and add the provided code to the header of your theme. Once that’s done, you can easily configure all your installations, including Analytics and Metrica, via Tag Manager on your website.

Step 6. Setting up Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica.

To access the statistics of your new website, you need to set up Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica. No need to worry, Google Tag Manager is already installed, which makes adding the Analytics and Metrica code a breeze.

Start by creating an account in Analytics and Metrica, and adding your website to the account. Then, to add the code provided by the system, simply navigate to the Google Tag Manager panel and click on the “Tags” link located in the menu on the left. From the “Tags” page, you can add your code using the “New” button, either with the Custom HTML tag or with the Analytics tag. If you prefer, you can use Custom HTML for Metrica.

Make sure to submit and run your tag after running both separate tags on all pages. It’s common for people to add tags the first time, but then forget to submit them.

Step 7. Promote and share your website on your social media accounts, reddit.com and folkd.com.

Reddit and folkd are two of Google’s preferred websites, and Google still considers URLs to be important. Therefore, when your website is complete, be sure to promote its URL on your own social media accounts first and then share it on reddit.com and folkd.com. This approach will enable your website to be indexed more quickly and display your domain to search engines with greater speed.

As mentioned earlier, the solution provided is straightforward and efficient. However, for a more polished and expert approach, it is recommended to seek consultation from SEO professionals.

Additionally, the following summarizes the advanced level and the necessary steps:

* robots.txt and .htaccess must be up-to-date and created correctly.

* To enhance your page speed, you can confidently utilize Page Speed Insight to thoroughly analyze and rectify any deficient or inaccurate areas. Moreover, efficiently compress the required pages and streamline transactions to boost performance.

* Creation of AMP version for your mobile page.

* Installing the Schema plugin and configuring the necessary settings.

* Getting backlinks from quality and authoritative pages.
