Without praying at the altar of google, A site doesn’t exist in the internet.
A site can be registered by visiting search.google.com But, before I’m handed over the tools for SEO google does a “ownership validation”. they gave me a secret of sorts. I had to add a TXT Record in my DNS provider. And verify it.
then, I had to give the location to my ‘sitemap.xml’ to them. It takes upto a day.
“Crawled currently not indexed” means that Google has crawled it, but has decided to not index it in results, either because the content was low quality or other reasons.
