Step-by-step
- 01
Review the final URL
Confirm canonical address, status, protocol, hostname, and path.
- 02
Check index controls
Review robots meta, headers, robots.txt, authentication, and canonicals.
- 03
Add internal links
Connect the page from relevant existing content and navigation.
- 04
Update the sitemap
Include the canonical indexable URL and accurate modification data.
- 05
Verify measurement
Confirm analytics and conversion tracking without exposing sensitive data.
- 06
Request indexing when useful
Use relevant search-platform tools and monitor actual coverage.
02
Verification
- The visible page matches the intended topic and audience.
- The page can be crawled, rendered, and indexed when intended.
- Claims, examples, code, and links have been checked.
- The page has a measurable next action or outcome.
- A future reviewer can understand what changed and why.
03
Before you change the website
- Define the purpose and expected result of and request indexing.
- Capture the current state using discovery paths, response codes, rendering, directives, canonicals, internal links, sitemaps, duplication, and selected URLs.
- Identify the source template, component, plugin, content owner, and release path that controls the output.
- Prepare a test case, approval path, backup or rollback method, and post-release verification plan.
04
Quality-control checks for and request indexing
- Recrawl the affected patterns, inspect rendered output and directives, and monitor indexation and search behaviour over time.
- Check representative page types and edge cases instead of confirming only the example used during implementation.
- Confirm the change did not create fixing one URL while leaving the template or generation rule unchanged.
- Record the implementation date, owner, release reference, evidence, and next review trigger.
