What Google sees on your pages

Let's get started. Every page of your website tells Google what it is. Here's what Google reads, and why it matters.
Every page carries what search engines read. A title with your business's name, shown in search results. A description, written from the page's own words, shown under the title. A picture for when the page is shared: its own photo, never just your logo. And who you are, in code that search engines read.
Search engines are also told what to look at. A published page on your live website is listed for them. A draft is left out. Your preview address asks them to stay away. And a page you hide asks not to be indexed.
Your pages are found for what your business does. A shared link shows a real picture and a real description. And nothing half-finished turns up in search.
That's what Google sees: a clear title, a description, and only the pages you've published. Next up: see how articles bring visitors to your website. Build with confidence.
