Get exposed in Google search

Create a Google Analytics account.

In the business details, I set the industry as Online Community, business goal as Lead Generation, and User Behavior Review. You can do it with something else.

If you use a distribution project root or theme, create a _config.yml file in the src/public folder and enter the code below.

# _config.yml
google_analytics: { Tracking ID }
url: { Distribution URL } # https://username.github.io/

Click Get started in Google Search Console .

Select URL Prefix and enter https://username.github.io/.

Confirm ownership by choosing the recommended verification method or 4 other verification methods.

I will do the recommended verification method. Download the html file and put it in the root.

And if you use the root folder or theme, create a sitemap.yml file in the src/public folder and put the code below as it is.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    {% for post in site.posts %}
    <url>
        <loc>{{ site.url }}{{ post.url | remove: 'index.html' }}</loc>
    </url>
    {% endfor %}

    {% for page in site.pages %}
    {% if page.layout != nil %}
    {% if page.layout != 'feed' %}
    <url>
        <loc>{{ site.url }}{{ page.url | remove: 'index.html' }}</loc>
    </url>
    {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
</urlset>

팁

If you use vuepress, you can use vuepress-plugin-sitemap2 to automatically create and manage sitemaps.

After that, google search console => Index creation => Go to https://username.github.io/sitemap.xml in Sitemaps and submit. After that, check if your blog is showing up well in Google search. It may take some time before exposure.
