Make the Site Visible on Google

  1. Go to google search console.

  2. Choose the “Domain” option. Enter the www.yourdomain.com and click continue.

  3. Copy the “TXT record”, go to domain DNS provider. Add new TXT resource record.

    For Namesilo, click create TXT resource record, put what you just copied to the TEXT column and leave the hostname column blank.

  4. After verfiying and being able to enter google search console. Go to blog root directory, run npm install hexo-generator-sitemap --save.

  5. Go to _config.yml and add

# Auto generate sitemap
sitemap:
	path: sitemap.xml

  1. When Hexo generates the website, there will be a sitemap.xml file in the public directory. Go to google search console, under index->sitemaps, add the URL (for me https://www.sungwa.com/sitemap.xml). If success, the status will be “Success”.

  2. After a while, search site:yusungwa.com in google, it would show the result.

Aside: I also changed both the URL in hexo and theme’s _config.yml to my domain https://yusungwa.com.
