How will Google find my website?

 

Google Search is a fully-automated search engine that uses software known as web crawlers that explore the web regularly to find pages to add to our index. In fact, the vast majority of pages listed in our results aren't manually submitted for inclusion, but are found and added automatically when our web crawlers explore the web.

  • There isn't a central registry of all web pages, so Google must constantly look for new and updated pages and add them to its list of known pages. This process is called "URL discovery". Some pages are known because Google has already visited them. Other pages are discovered when Google extracts a link from a known page to a new page: for example, a hub page, such as a category page, links to a new blog post.
So the vast majority of pages will simply be discovered as Google crawls. Hence why it critically important that sites have good internal links. For a regular updated site like a blog it's good practice to link all new pages from the homepage; as Google learns it regularly updates, Google should end up crawling it multiple times a day, and discovering new pages quickly. 
 
But also make sure there are other links around the site, so that Google accumulates multiple links to the page. Also make sure they are regular <a href="page"> style links. Buttons or clicks that rely on javascript events are not 'discoverable' by Googlebot.
