Google's "Fetch as Google" tool was part of the Google Search Console. Please note that tools and features may have been updated or changed since then. However, as of my last update, here's a general guide on how to use the "Fetch as Google" tool for SEO:

  1. Access Google Search Console:

    • Log in to your Google Search Console account. If you don't have an account, you'll need to set one up and verify ownership of your website.

  2. Select Your Property:

    • Choose the website property you want to work on from the list of properties in your Search Console.

  3. Navigate to "URL Inspection":

    • Find the "URL Inspection" tool, which may be located in the sidebar or main menu of your Google Search Console dashboard.

  4. Enter the URL:

    • Enter the specific URL you want Google to fetch and index. This could be a new page or an updated version of an existing page.

  5. Click on "Fetch":

    • Once you've entered the URL, click on the "Request Indexing" or "Fetch" button. Google will then fetch the URL and provide information on its status.

  6. Check Fetch Status:

    • After fetching, you can see the status of the fetch. It may show whether Googlebot was able to access the page successfully or if there were any issues.

  7. Submit to Index:

    • If the fetch was successful, you may have the option to submit the URL to the Google index. This helps to speed up the process of getting your content into Google's search results.

  8. Review Crawl Errors:

    • If there are crawl errors or issues, Google Search Console will provide information about what went wrong. You can use this information to troubleshoot and fix any problems with your website.

  9. Use for Troubleshooting:

    • The "Fetch as Google" tool is not only for submitting new or updated content but also for troubleshooting indexing issues. It allows you to see how Googlebot sees your page, and you can identify and fix any rendering or accessibility problems.

  10. Monitor the Indexing Status:

  • After submitting the URL, monitor the indexing status in Google Search Console. It may take some time for Google to crawl and index the content.

Remember that the steps and features may have changed, so it's essential to check the current documentation or interface of Google Search Console for the most up-to-date information.
