[![Harlan Wilton](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5326365?v=4)Harlan Wilton](https://x.com/harlan-zw)6 mins read Published Nov 3, 2024 Updated Jan 29, 2026 What you'll learn - Set up Google Search Console and submit your sitemap before expecting indexing - Indexing takes days to weeks. Google prioritizes sites with backlinks and fresh content - Track weekly metrics: impressions, clicks, CTR, Core Web Vitals (INP), and AI visibility Your Vue site is complete. Now get it indexed and track its performance. ## [Pre-Launch Checklist](#pre-launch-checklist) Before deploying to production: - Production domain configured with SSL certificate - [robots.txt](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/robots-txt) allows search engine crawlers - No `noindex` [meta tags](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/meta-tags) on pages you want indexed - [Sitemap](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/sitemaps) generated at `/sitemap.xml` - [Canonical URLs](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/canonical-urls) point to production domain - Social preview images working - Mobile-friendly design - [Core Web Vitals](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/core-web-vitals) passing (especially INP) - [404 pages](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/routes-and-rendering/404-pages) return proper status codes - [Redirects](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/redirects) from old URLs configured (if redesigning) For new domains, start this process 4 to 8 weeks early. See [Pre-Launch SEO Warmup](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/pre-launch-warmup) for a week-by-week timeline. Don't delay your launch chasing perfection. Ship with working fundamentals, then iterate. ## [Getting Indexed](#getting-indexed) Your site needs two things to appear in search results: be crawlable and be indexed. **Crawlability** means search engines can access your pages. **Indexing** means they've added your pages to their database. Read the [Going Live guide](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/going-live) for deployment strategies and common pitfalls. ### [Submit to Search Engines](#submit-to-search-engines) Google and Bing won't automatically know your site exists. [Set up Google Search Console](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/search-console) and submit your sitemap: 1. Add your property (domain or URL prefix) 2. Verify ownership (DNS record, HTML file, or meta tag) 3. Submit sitemap at **Indexing > Sitemaps** For Bing, submit through [Bing Webmaster Tools](https://www.bing.com/webmasters) or use [IndexNow](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/indexnow) for instant notification. Indexing takes days to weeks. [Google prioritizes sites](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/how-search-works) with backlinks and regular content updates. ### [Check Indexing Status](#check-indexing-status) ``` # Search for your domain site:yourdomain.com # Check specific page site:yourdomain.com/specific-page ``` Google Search Console shows detailed indexing data under Page Indexing reports: - **Indexed**: in Google's index - **Discovered - currently not indexed**: found but not crawled yet - **Crawled - currently not indexed**: crawled but Google chose not to index See [Debugging Indexing Issues](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/indexing-issues) for fixes when pages won't index. ## [Monitoring Performance](#monitoring-performance) Set up these tools after launch: | Tool | What It Tracks | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | [Google Search Console](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/search-console) | Impressions, clicks, rankings, indexing | Free | | GA4 / Plausible / Fathom | Organic traffic, user behavior | Free / Paid | | [Ahrefs](https://ahrefs.com) / [SEMrush](https://semrush.com) | Backlinks, keyword rankings, competitors | Paid | See [SEO Monitoring Tools](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/seo-monitoring) for setup guides and recommendations. ### [Weekly Metrics](#weekly-metrics) Track these metrics every week: **Search Console:** - Total impressions and clicks - Click-through rate (CTR) - Average position for target keywords - Coverage errors - **AI Visibility**: High impressions with low clicks (potential AI Overview citations) **Analytics:** - Organic traffic trends - Top landing pages - Bounce rate **[Core Web Vitals](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/core-web-vitals):** - **INP (Interaction to Next Paint)** under 200ms - LCP under 2.5s - CLS under 0.1 Don't obsess over daily fluctuations. Look for trends over weeks and months. ## [Common Post-Launch Issues](#common-post-launch-issues) **Site not indexing after weeks:** Check [robots.txt](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/robots-txt), verify no `noindex` tags, confirm [sitemap](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/controlling-crawlers/sitemaps) submitted correctly. See [Indexing Issues](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/indexing-issues). **Pages indexed but not ranking:** Normal for new sites. Improve [title tags](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/mastering-meta/titles) and [meta descriptions](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/mastering-meta/descriptions). Add internal links. **High impressions, low clicks:** Your titles and descriptions need work. Check [Mastering Meta](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/mastering-meta) guides. **Migrating to a new domain?** See [Site Migration SEO](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/site-migration) for redirect mapping and recovery timelines. ## [Deep Dive Guides](#deep-dive-guides) | Guide | What You'll Learn | | --- | --- | | [Going Live](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/going-live) | First-time indexing, SSR vs SPA, common Vue issues | | [Google Search Console](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/search-console) | Verification, reports, URL inspection | | [Core Web Vitals](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/core-web-vitals) | LCP, INP, CLS optimization for Vue | | [Indexing Issues](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/indexing-issues) | Fix "crawled not indexed" errors | | [SEO Monitoring](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/seo-monitoring) | Analytics setup, rank tracking, alerts | | [Site Migration](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/site-migration) | Domain changes, redirects, recovery | | [IndexNow](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/indexnow) | Instant indexing for Bing/Yandex | | [AI Search Optimization](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/vue/launch-and-listen/ai-optimized-content) | GEO, AI Overviews, [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com) citations | | [Pre-Launch Warmup](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/pre-launch-warmup) | Domain warmup, early authority, content seeding | | [Backlinks & Authority](https://nuxtseo.com/learn-seo/backlinks) | Developer link building, cross-linking, monitoring | ## [Using Nuxt?](#using-nuxt) Nuxt SEO handles sitemap generation, robots.txt, and OG images automatically.
