Check the result
Metadata matches public content. This does not establish search-engine indexing.
Resuming after interruption
Read the same IDs again. Preserve correct settings and update only differences.
Connect the domain
Identify the domain owner or DNS administrator. Choose the hostname and apply the DNS values supplied by your connection contact. Preserve unrelated email and service records. Check connection and certificate status before using the public address.
Set search information
Write each page title and description to match the offered service. Check localized content and the representative image. Distinguish pages by the questions they answer. Search services can rewrite displayed snippets.
Choose public content
Decide which pages are public and which are excluded from search. Keep private customer information out of public Entity descriptions. Check URLs, the sitemap, and crawler access. Separate test domains from production search targets.
Check the published site
Open the domain, language routes, key pages, and forms while signed out. Check redirects and missing pages. Publication and search indexing are separate results. Measure search visits over a consistent period after release.
