      After we implement canonicals URLs, or make some other significant change to our site that is going to impact our SEO, is there a way to force Google or other search engines to re-index us faster? Would manually re-submitting a sitemap do this?

        You could refresh your sitemap, then re-submit it to Google webmaster tools. This usually works for us
