WEBSITE SEARCH DISCOVERY · Workflow idea

Help search services notice the public pages your team maintains.

Review the public pages on a selected website and prepare eligible new or recently changed pages for search discovery. Keep the page address, publication status, and last-updated context visible so a site owner can confirm each page is appropriate before a request is made.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Public pages on a website whose owner wants to request or refresh search discovery

“Identify published pages that are new or changed, prepare eligible pages for a search-discovery request, and leave page selection and submission approval with the site owner.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps website owners keep search-discovery requests organized as their public pages are added or updated.

  1. Confirm the website and owner

    Choose a website the team is authorized to manage and confirm who is responsible for its public pages.

  2. Identify published pages for review

    List pages that are new or changed and keep each address and relevant update date available.

  3. Check eligibility and public availability

    Have the owner confirm that each page is accessible to the intended public and appropriate for search discovery.

  4. Review request limits and page scope

    Check the selected search service’s current rules, supported page types, and applicable request limits before preparing a batch.

  5. Approve and track submissions

    Require a site owner to approve the exact pages before requests are made, then record their status without treating submission as a ranking or indexing guarantee.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A review list of public pages proposed for search discovery, with change context and submission status visible to the site owner.

Keep in mind

Submitting a page does not guarantee that it will be indexed, ranked, or shown in search results, and some search services limit request volume or supported page types. Verify ownership, public availability, eligibility, and recent changes; require a site owner to approve each submission and review any consequential search-performance decisions separately.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the website and public page scope

Define the site and page types in scope, excluding private, draft, or intentionally hidden material.

Set page-change and eligibility rules

Agree how newly published or changed pages are identified and how unsupported or unavailable pages are held.

Confirm service limits and review ownership

Document applicable request limits, name the site owner who approves submissions, and identify who reviews search outcomes.

Test new, changed, and excluded pages

Check representative public pages and confirm that excluded or uncertain pages are not submitted without owner review.
