Below is a checklist you can use to conduct a content audit for your website:

1. Come up with goals for your content audit such as improving audience engagement, conversion rate, and so forth. 
2. Collect URLs of your content and catalog your content by buyer’s journey stages, content type, author, and other relevant categories.
3. Collect data with the help of analytics tools. Using set metrics, assess your content and decide whether to keep, update, or delete them. 
4. Prioritize your actions according to the business goals you defined in the first step, and draw up an action plan for each piece of content.
5. Adjust your content strategy based on the audit results at least once a year.

How to submit a URL or website to search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing

If you have started a new business and created a new website for it, it is a good idea to inform Google, Bing, and other search engines. After all, purchasing a new domain doesn’t mean you will start appearing in search results. You should submit your domain to search engines to ensure your site gets crawled and indexed. 

Google needs to know that your website exists in order to crawl your pages and index them. The crawler follows the links on pages to discover new sites. You can submit your website to search engines to ensure your site is indexed sooner. 

How long will Google take to index a website for SEO?

There is no specific length of time that Google will take to index your website.  A study by HubSpot determined that if you submit your URL without a sitemap to Google, it takes approximately 23 hours to crawl it. But if you submit the URL with an updated sitemap to Google Search Console, it takes just 14 minutes. 

Leaving Google to find new content on its own often means it takes longer for your page to be indexed, but when you manually inform Google, you can speed up the process.

On the other hand, the time taken to crawl and index a new domain can differ significantly, depending on whether or not any external links exist and how frequently these are crawled.

At the very least, you need to make sure you submit a new site to Google because in doing so, you speed up the indexation for a new page.
