How to get a new SaaS found on Google, Bing and AI search

Why a new site doesn’t show up, what to set up on day one (Search Console, Bing, IndexNow), and what makes AI answers mention you.

Short answer: a new domain isn’t in search results until search engines find it, and they find it faster when you tell them. Add your site to Google Search Console and submit your sitemap, import it into Bing Webmaster Tools, and ping IndexNow when pages change. Publish useful answers to the questions your buyers ask, and keep your product details accurate on relevant directories and community pages.

Day-one setup

  1. 1

    Google Search Console

    Verify your domain, then submit your sitemap in the Sitemaps report. Also add a line to robots.txt like Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Google treats a sitemap as a hint, not a promise, so use URL inspection to request indexing for your most important pages.

  2. 2

    Bing Webmaster Tools

    Sign in and import from Google Search Console. Bing brings over your verified sites and sitemaps and verifies them automatically. Bing results also feed other search and AI products.

  3. 3

    IndexNow

    A simple ping that tells participating search engines a page changed. One submission is shared with Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam and others. Many site builders and plugins can do it for you.

  4. 4

    Check the basics

    Make sure robots.txt doesn’t block your production site, every page has a unique title and description, and staging or preview sites are blocked from search.

Why a new site doesn’t show up yet

ReasonWhat to do
Search engines haven’t found the pagesSubmit the sitemap and request indexing
Nothing links to the siteListings on G2, directories and Product Hunt, plus genuine community posts
Pages don’t answer the buyer’s questionImprove the relevant existing page with a direct answer, examples and setup steps
Review sites appear for your buyer’s searchesCheck which sources appear and keep your relevant listings accurate

Help buyers and AI search understand your product

  • Clear answers: answer the buyer’s question near the top, then show a practical example. Expand an existing page when it already serves that intent.
  • Facts with sources: prices, limits and numbers, linked to where they came from.
  • Accurate outside sources: inspect the links cited for your buyer’s questions. Keep your details current on relevant listings so readers can check your product against their needs.
  • Useful comparisons: explain the differences buyers ask about, with current sources and matching product examples.
  • Readable product information: make your setup steps, supported platforms and pricing easy to find on public pages. Google says its Search features do not use llms.txt files.

Check whether discovery brings users

  1. 1

    Save a buyer-query baseline

    Choose a small set of searches your buyers would use. Record the date, country, pages shown and cited sources. For AI answers, use the same neutral question each time, without naming your own product.

  2. 2

    Read Search Console by page and query

    Compare the same date ranges. Impressions show appearances in results. Clicks show how often people chose your result. Use URL inspection to check an important page that has no impressions.

  3. 3

    Follow the visit through the product

    In your analytics, exclude internal tests and check the landing page, referring source, signup and first useful action. Keep anonymous visits separate from confirmed customers.

  4. 4

    Improve the page buyers actually reach

    Answer the missing question, show a relevant product capture and link to a first successful test. For a feedback tool, that could mean sending a report and reading the team’s reply. Compare the next period against your saved baseline.

Questions

How long until I show up on Google?

Check URL inspection for discovery and indexing first, then Performance for impressions and clicks. Timing varies by site and query. Compare completed reporting periods before deciding what to improve.

Does Google use IndexNow?

IndexNow’s list of participating engines doesn’t include Google. Use Search Console for Google and IndexNow for the rest.
