    I am having 2 new public web sites to go. I used to submit old web sites on google and bing by myself.

    So how do you submit your new web sites to search engines in year 2022? I meant which top search engines do you submit to and what are their present submission portals?

    Thanks for your help! :)

    You don't. These engines scrape the Web all the time for new sites, articels etc.
    To make your sites more visible to search engines you may have a look into SEO.

    Hello Friend,
    I heard that a site map is required to let search engine see your sites better.

    How do I do this? :rolleyes:

    If you maintain your websites with some sort of CMS (like Wordpress), there's a good chance it has a build-in sitemap feature.
    And in several popular CMSses a SEO plugin can be installed to do some optimization for you.

    To submit website, 2~3 simple steps:
    1) add verification metadata to website;
    2) let know Search Engine about the path of your sitemap.xml.

    Much better question: How do you cope with a Search Engine Optimization at all - to bring your website to the top of a ranking?
