Google Search Console (GSC) is a free tool from Google that helps website owners monitor their site's performance, detect issues, and ensure pages appear in Google search results. This guide explains the difference between Domain and URL properties, how to index new pages, and how to get your website fully discoverable online.
Understanding Properties in Google Search Console
When you add your website to GSC, you are creating a property. There are two main types:
Domain Property
- Covers your entire domain, including all subdomains and protocols
- Example: Adding
supertekservices.com
covershttps://www.supertekservices.com
andblog.supertekservices.com
- Recommended if you want full visibility across your website
URL Prefix Property
- Tracks a specific URL only, with the exact protocol
- Example:
https://www.supertekservices.com
tracks only that URL, not subdomains or http/https variations - Useful for tracking a single section or landing page
How to Index a New Page
Even if your site is already added to GSC, new pages may not appear in Google immediately. Requesting indexing helps Google discover them faster.
- Open your verified property in Google Search Console
- Paste the new page URL in the search bar
- Press Enter and click Request Indexing
- Google will crawl and index the page, usually within hours or a few days
Example: Publishing a blog post like “AI Voice Agents for Salons” can appear faster in search results when you request indexing.
Submitting a Sitemap
Submitting a sitemap ensures Google automatically discovers new pages:
- Go to Indexing → Sitemaps in GSC
- Enter your sitemap URL, e.g.,
https://www.supertekservices.com/sitemap_index.xml
- Click Submit
Tips for Efficient Use
- Use URL Inspection to check how Google views a page
- Monitor Coverage Reports for indexing errors or issues
- Fix mobile usability or crawl issues promptly
- Regularly check performance metrics like clicks and impressions
