Submitting your Weebly website to Google



Well, in order to get your Weebly website to be shown up on Google search, you’ll simply need to submit it to Google. Google’s URL submit is very quick and easy. Here’s how to proceed:

  1. Browse this link [Add website to Google]
  2. Once opened, write down your full website URL, example: http://weeblytutorials.com, click as needed on the captcha or type in the message that ensures Google you are an individual, not a robot and hit submit.

This way you have submitted your website to Google search engine. If your website has the minimum requirements to be shown up on Google, it will be indexed within one business day or less. By requirements, you’ll want to make sure you have added some pages with some relevant content.

Submitting your Weebly website to Bing and the other Search Engines

As per Yahoo, and since 2010, its search has been powered by Microsoft’s Bing search engine. This means when you submit your site to Bing you will also show up in Yahoo’s search results.

Well, in order to submit your Weebly website to Bing, just like Google. You will first need to have a Bing login, then go to Bing’s Webmaster Tools page. Once logged in simply type in the URL of your homepage and press “submit”.

BTW, most of the rest of search engines nowadays such as ‘Ask’ no longer allow you to submit your website to be indexed. They now solely crawl sites and do the job automatically it selves.

We’re providing you with a video tutorial as well.

By adding more pages following the same procedure of clicking Add Page and choosing Standard Page again (and again). And as you add (and assign name) each of your pages, they’ll automatically become part of your site’s navigation bar.



You can then easily re-arrange the order of the pages by clicking and dragging them up and down the Pages list. Dragging a page to the top of the list will make that page your Home.

weebly SSL

How to Enable a SSL Certificate for a Weebly Website

This article goes through the procedure of enabling SSL certificates on Weebly websites. Many of you have asked about the benefits of SSL and whether it’s necessary for your Weebly website, blog or online store, so we’d like to shed some light on SSL and its value for both security and trust online.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and is used to encrypt information transferred across the Internet. This encryption protects your information from getting intercepted by unwelcome eavesdroppers and is enabled through an SSL certificate that allows visitors to browse a website over a secure connection.

SSL certificate Weebly

An SSL certificate can do a way more than just data encryption, it also serves as a powerful trust signal for your visitors, which can help increase sales, form submissions, or whatever it is you need your website to do.

Common SSL Uses

SSL encryption (secure connection) is absolutely vital when sensitive personal information is entered on a website, online store or blog. Weebly Business Plan includes already a free SSL certificate, allowing your clients to checkout directly from your website. You can enable SSL for your entire site or just on checkout from the General tab in the Settings dashboard.

Enable a SSL Certificate for a Weebly Website

We may clarify a bit more. The SSL installation requires server side access, usually on the root level. For security reasons, Weebly and other site builders will not grant you that access. However, if you buy SSL through them, they have a magical wand that does the installation for you on their servers (of course you may also call it up-selling).



As mentioned above, Weebly Business plan includes already a free SSL certificate. No need to order one. However, if you’re running on another Weebly plan, your only option is to upgrade. Purchasing a SSL through a third party service won’t do the job as well. The only SSL certificates that work for domains attached to Weebly sites at this time are the ones that come with Business and Performance packages.

If ever you have the appropriate Weebly plan and the SSL still not enabled, you may attempt to forcibly enable it via the dashboard. Here’s how, click Settings from Weebly Site Editor then select Enable SSL.

How to Add Different Types of Elements on Weebly

In order to add different types of elements such as images, text zones, videos, and so on, we will need then to add them as elements. They are the building blocks of a website. Mostly all the content you add to your web pages will be built with elements.



Weebly elements

It is simple, you only need to find the element you want to use then Click, Drag and Drop it exactly where you want it. It’s literally: Find, Click, Drag, Drop.

Weebly elements

It’s possible to add as many elements to a page as you want, and the page will just lengthen as you add more elements on top of, or below, the last. As you drag an Element to a page, this blue guide line will tell you where the element will be placed when you drop it.

Either stack elements on top of each other, or, drag one element to the left or right of another.

Weebly elements

When you place elements side-by-side, we’ll generate two columns on the page that allot equal space to each element.

You can adjust the space between these columns by using the narrow bar that appears between them. Just click and drag to the left or right.

Weebly columns

All elements have three universal options: Copy, Delete and Move.

Hover over an element and a blue box will appear.

The “X” in the upper right allows you to delete this element. Keep in mind though, once deleted, it can never come back.

delete elements

The arrow in the upper left allows you to copy an element (to the same page or another page) to move an element (to another page).

move element

And clicking on the box between the “X” and the arrow, allows you to pick the element up and drag it around the page.

There you go. We’re done with this article. :)

That means you’ll have to properly connect your domain name to Weebly. Here’s a simple guide on how to point your domain name to Weebly.

Wrong URL’s – Non-existing pages
