Indexing of domain names by search engines
------------------------------------------
Search engines, such as Google and Bing, rely on web crawlers (:dfn:`robots that explore and analyze
the web`) to index all websites and their related domain names. These crawlers discover new URLs
thanks to links on known web pages. As a result, search engines should index domain names
automatically after a while, as long as their URLs are mentioned elsewhere on the Internet.
Improving the appearance and positioning of web pages on search engines is a practice named "Search
Engine Optimization" (SEO).
.. tip::
Adding relevant content, optimizing metadata, and building high-quality backlinks can all help
improve a website's search engine visibility.
Some search engines provide tools for web admins, such as
`Google Search Console <https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ and
`Bing Webmaster Tools <https://www.bing.com/webmasters>`_, to help you analyze and improve your
page ranking. To use these services, you must prove that you are the owner of your domain name. One
way to verify the ownership of your domain name is by adding a DNS record. You can do this for
:ref:`domain names registered with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-manage>` and for domain names managed by
other providers.
