How to check if my website is on Google

📅 August 21, 2026

If you only do one technical check this month, make it this one. Everything else — content plans, schema debates, “why isn’t AI recommending us” — sits on top of a blunt question: has Google actually stored your pages?

I’m going to keep this short and slightly annoying, because the internet loves to turn a two-minute check into a twelve-step course.

The site: search (two minutes)

1. Open Google in a normal browser window.
2. Type site:yourdomain.co.uk — swap in your real domain, no https://, no trailing junk.
3. Look at what comes back.

Useful result: your homepage and a handful of real pages. Good enough signal that you’re not invisible.
