What is SEO?
Yoast SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a process that aims to improve the visibility of a website in search engines like Google. SEO involves various techniques that enable a website to rank higher in search results when users search for content or services related to that page.
What does it mean that a site is indexed?
It means that search engines (like Google) have added that page to their database. During indexing, the content, links, and structure of a web page are analyzed to display it in search results. If a page is not indexed, it will not be found in search. To quickly index your site, it is recommended to use an XML sitemap and Google Search Console.
What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is a file that contains all the pages of a website that are easy to find and that search engines should know about. A sitemap helps search engines index your site faster and more accurately. It is a kind of guide that tells search engines which pages on your site are important and how to find them.
A sitemap may contain, for example, page addresses (URLs) and additional information such as recent changes, frequency, and priority. A website owner can use sitemaps to create and submit them to search engines to ensure effective indexing.
