How to let google find my website?

I try to configure stuff in google console, but it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to buy a domain or something?

you need your own domain iirc you can either wait for google's bots to discover your site through random walk or request indexing in the google search console

once you request indexing, it might take even a week for your page to show up on google search 1 week was the highest I've had to wait tho

I remember that I request it a few months ago, and it still doesn't show up. However, another website with custom domain just works fine. by not show up I mean site:https://my-website.deno.dev didn't find anything at all

emm probably not oh wait i kinda forgot how i do it before but google did ask me to put a HTML file in order to verify or something i guess that is indexing(? and i put it in my ./static folder (i use fresh framework btw) and it didn't work :/ I may need to dig into it when i got time tho but that's not the only weird thing i have encountered when using Deno Deploy I also remember that the HTTPS certificate isn't working on my old android phone probably because of the TLS certificate is too new for it @NeTT anyway thank you for answering my question, i will share my discovers in the future if i find anything useful now i may close this post, feel free to DM me if you got any info tho :D
