          also, the time it takes to get indexed depends... but usually 2-3 days. I tell clients up to a week so they sit tight.

          you can go into the _**"Health" menu -> "fetch as googlebot" **_and then have it fetch your home page. It will run a quick diagnostic and then it will refresh the page and you can click "Index". Select to **index the page and all links. **

          this will essentially give google a kick in the but to index that specific page and the links on the home page.

          You should do this in addition to your sitemap.

            A link to the sitemap would help.

            • Client wants to remove mobile URLs from their sitemap to avoid indexing issues. However this will require SEVERAL billing hours. Is having both mobile/desktop URLs in a sitemap really that detrimental to search indexing?
