    Optional: Submit your sitemap

    It's ok if you don't have a sitemap.xml, but it's easier for google to understand your website structure.

    2) Index your Pages

    Method 1 (easy): Connecting your Google Account

    1. Go to indexer.so/app

    2. Click on Google Accounts

    3. Click on "Add Account"
