We know how indexing works.
Google crawls and indexes pages on your website, and those indexed pages are eligible to show on Google as organic search results. Website owners can create and submit a file called a “sitemap” to Google that communicates information about the pages on your site. This can make the indexing process easier for Google. It’s a great idea to create, edit, and submit your sitemap via Google Search Console.
