# SEO #10 How do I tell Google about my new website?

> **Topic**: Notifying Google of a new site and submitting a sitemap through Google Search Console.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to submit your website to Google

If your site is well organized, full of useful information and you have completed steps 1 to 9 of this checklist, your site will very likely be found by Google naturally.  

If you can get a few links from other quality sites towards yours, this will help you be found faster and be seen more positively.  

Another way to speed things up is to submit your sitemap. In SimDif, a sitemap (a list of all the pages of your site) is created for you automatically.  

Before submitting your sitemap you must first verify ownership of your site with Google Search Console. SimDif provides a built-in tool for this integration:  

Go to ‘Site Settings’ — the yellow button at the top right of the SimDif interface (available on the iOS and Android apps, and web browsers) — then select "Ownership verification" and follow the instructions.

To submit your sitemap in Google Search Console, find 'Sitemaps’ in the menu, and in the box titled ‘Add a new sitemap’ paste your full website address, including "https://" , followed immediately by, "/sitemap.xml" - then hit the ‘Submit’ button.  

You will have to wait a few days after submitting your sitemap to see any change.  

Note: Google does not guarantee that your site will be included in search results.
