1. Automatic registration with search tools upon site creation

For your site to appear in search results, its URL must first be registered with search engine tools. With SlashPage, simply creating your site automatically registers it with search tools like Google Search Console.

2. One-click automatic daily sitemap submission

Submitting your sitemap—a file that includes details about your site's pages, media, and files—to search tools makes it easier for crawlers to locate your site. Just turn on the Share to search engines option and your sitemap will be automatically submitted to each search tool every 24 hours, except for private pages and channels.

When will my site start appearing in search results?

Each search engine has its own algorithm that determines ranking based on content quality, loading speed, and more. Since these algorithms are not publicly disclosed, it is difficult to predict the exact timing. According to Google’s SEO guide, it’s generally recommended to wait a few weeks.

If your site appears in search results when you search for (keyword) + site:slashpage.com on Google, it means the crawler is indexing it properly, so please be patient!

3. Input summary data to appear in more relevant search results

Crawlers review summary data (title, description, image) before the main content of your site. This acts like a promotional message, convincing searchers that your site has the information they are looking for, so it’s important to manually update these fields.

For each sub-page, channel, and channel post, list your main keywords and images in the Preview. The summary data is automatically filled in with the page title, the first part of the body text, and a representative image. However, it’s advisable to edit it yourself, as the automatically generated content may not fully capture the intended details.

Google’s SEO guide recommendations for writing the 'description' part of summary data

The guide advises writing concise and accurate descriptions specific to each page rather than using similar content across all pages. Click the toggle below to see specific examples of good/bad practices!

Gather important information scattered across the page

✅ Get everything you need to sew your next garment. Open Monday-Friday 8-5pm, located in the Fashion District.

❌ Sewing supplies, yarn, colored pencils, sewing machines, threads, bobbins, needles

Summarize Only the Core Content from the Entire Page

✅ Learn how to cook eggs with this complete guide in 1 hour or less. We cover all the methods, including: over-easy, sunny side up, boiled, and poached.

❌ Eggs are a source of joy in everyone's life. When I was a small child, I remember picking eggs from the hen house and bringing them to the kitchen. Those were the days.

Be Specific

4. Include keywords in URLs to provide accurate information to crawlers

Crawlers also use URLs to better understand your page content. The addresses of all subpages, channels, and channel posts are initially generated randomly like the image below, but you can edit them with keywords related to your content using the Clean URL feature!

Changed the address to something concise that captures the topic (keywords) of your content

5. Translate your site to apply language-specific SEO

Websites with the Multilingual Translation feature enabled are also listed in search results for each translated language. For instance, translating your English site into French will generate a separate URL for the translated page, allowing crawlers to collect information for each language.
