The get-found checklist

  • Google Business Profile (free, at google.com/business) — for most local businesses this drives more visitors than the website itself. Add your new link to it.
  • Add your domain everywhere — Instagram, Facebook, your email signature, business cards.
  • Tell Google your site exists and add free analytics — Claude can help:

Ask Claude to help you get found

Help me get my new website found. Please:
1. Walk me through submitting my site to Google (Google Search Console) so it gets indexed.
2. Add free, privacy-friendly analytics so I can see my visitors.
3. Double-check my page titles and descriptions are clear for search and social sharing.
Keep it simple and tell me exactly what to click.

Then tell people

Announce it. Post the link, email your customers, put it on your door. A site nobody knows about can’t help you — and you’ve got something worth sharing now.

You did it 🎉

You went from zero to a professional, secure, mobile-friendly website on your own domain — built by you, with AI. That’s a real accomplishment most owners never attempt.

If you get stuck

Not sure what to prioritize? Start with the Google Business Profile — for most local businesses it’s the single highest-impact thing here.
