SEO Code & Search Operators
- Brandon Hendry
Operators:
site:
Searches a specific site on the web. You can use this to check if a page is indexed by search engines, and you can also refine this search to find specific pages within the site that contain a certain keyword.
i.e.
site:youtube.com cat videos
If you want to exclude keywords from your search, preface them with a “-”
i.e.
site:youtube.comjaguar speed -car
This is likely the most common search operator you will use.
