The Website Launch & Google Visibility Checklist.

Ten steps we run in the first week after any site goes live — the difference between a website that exists and one people actually find.

What's inside.

1
Lock the domain
HTTPS works and one version (www or non-www) redirects to the other.
2
Unique titles & descriptions
Every page gets a title under 60 characters and a description under 160.
3
Favicon in place
Your icon loads and shows in a browser tab and bookmark.
4
Self-referencing canonicals
Each page's canonical tag points at that page, not the homepage.
5
Sitemap submitted
sitemap.xml added in Google Search Console and reading “Success”.
6
robots.txt checked
No site-wide Disallow: / silently blocking every crawler.
7
Indexing requested
URL Inspection → Request indexing for the homepage and top money page.
8
Local schema added
LocalBusiness or ProfessionalService markup listing the cities you serve.
9
Google Business Profile
Set up as a service-area business so your address stays private.
10
Analytics confirmed
Tracking installed and a test visit verified in the dashboard.
