How to index pages on WordPress?
“WordPress has built-in features that automatically index your pages and posts for search engines. However, there are a few things you can do to improve your indexing and ensure your pages are easily discoverable by search engines.
Here are some steps you can take to index pages on WordPress:
Install an SEO plugin: A good SEO plugin like Yoast or All in One SEO Pack will help you optimize your content for search engines and create XML sitemaps that help search engines index your pages.
Create XML sitemaps: An XML sitemap is a file that contains a list of all the pages on your site that you want search engines to index. Most SEO plugins will automatically create XML sitemaps for you, or you can use a standalone plugin like Google XML Sitemaps.
Use a robots.txt file: A robots.txt file tells search engines which pages they should and should not index. By default, WordPress includes a robots.txt file that blocks search engines from indexing your site’s admin pages, but you can add additional rules to this file if needed.
Submit your sitemap to search engines: Once you’ve created an XML sitemap, you can submit it to search engines like Google and Bing using their webmaster tools. This will help them discover your pages more quickly and accurately.
Use keyword-rich titles and meta descriptions: Make sure your page titles and meta descriptions contain keywords that accurately describe the content of your pages. This will help search engines understand what your pages are about and index them more accurately.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your WordPress pages are properly indexed by search engines and easily discovered by users.”
