Hi guys, this tutorial will show you how to submit your website to Google Webmaster tools (Google search console), along with your sitemap file. As you know google is the largest search engine in the world so if you want a huge traffic on your website you must have to submit your website to this search engine. So follow these steps to do this job:

Step 1

First we will head over to the Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) website and login with your Google account. (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) If you don’t have a Google account you can always signup for a free one.

Step 3

It will now ask you to verify your website. There are a couple of options to choose from. I recommend adding the meta tag to your website. So click into the “Alternate Methods” tab and select the “HTML tag” option.

Step 4

Now we need to copy that meta tag and put it into the header of your website. If you are running WordPress I highly suggest installing the WordPress SEO plugin. Once installed, go down to the “SEO” section and click on dashboard. Paste your Google meta tag into the Webmaster Tools section under “Google Search Console” and click “Save Changes.”
       But if you are working on blogger then you have to edit your html file. Just log in to blogger and select your blog. Then Go to Theme > Edit HTML. Then paste the meta tag just after the <head> tag.

Step 5

Once you have the meta tag added to your website, go back to Google Webmaster Tools and click on the “Verify” button. You should see a green check mark if successfully verified. Note: You might need to clear the cache on your WordPress site before Google can see your verification tag.

Step 6

 Now we will click into the the “Crawl” section and click on “Sitemaps.” we need to add your sitemap file. Click on the “Add/Test Sitemap” button on the top right. Input the URL of your sitemap and click on “Submit Sitemap.” Your sitemap is most likely located at the root of your URL, example https://appsandgames4fun.com/sitemap_index.xml. But you can always test it as well.

Now submit your sitemap.
If you are using wordpress then To find your sitemap address you can click into “Sitemaps” under the Yoast SEO plugin. Then right click on the “XML sitemap” button and select copy link address. You can also click into it and copy the address from your address bar. You can now see the status of your sitemap and any errors that might pop up. I always recommend waiting a day or so before seeing if your Google Search Console sitemap was processed correctly. It will show you how many pages/posts have been submitted and then how many are actually indexed. Google will now automatically crawl your sitemap file on a regular basis.
