How to Increase Googlebot Crawl Rate 2016

Google Crawl rate is a very important factor for any website to make the new content and pages on your website start appearing in the google search. The more often your site gets crawled, the sooner your new content can start appearing in the search results, and bringing in traffic and sales.

Crawl rate refers to the speed of Googlebot’s requests during the crawl process. Google has its own sophisticated algorithms to determine how and when to crawl a website.

By default, Google sets a normal crawl rate for a website submitted to it. Google crawls as many pages of your website as it can on each of its visits without affecting your server’s bandwidth.

Still if you think you need to increase Googlebot crawl rate you can change the setting of the google crawl rate in the webmaster tool:

• Click the gear icon, then click Site Settings.
• In the Crawl rate section, select the option you want

The new crawl rate will be valid for 90 days.
