You do not need to submit your site to Google.

How Google actually finds a site

Google discovers pages by crawling links. It fetches a page it already knows, sees the links on it, and queues those destinations to fetch next. The moment a single page anywhere that Google already crawls links to your site, you are discoverable, with nothing submitted. In practice that happens quickly for almost every new site, through a directory, a social profile, a supplier listing or a mention, long before anyone gets round to "submitting" anything.

This is why the classic "submit your URL to 500 search engines" service is selling a solved problem. There are not 500 search engines that matter, the ones that do find you by crawling, and a bulk submission blast to a list of defunct directories does nothing except, occasionally, drop your domain into some genuinely spammy neighbourhoods. The service is not a shortcut. It is a cost with no upside and a small downside.

What the real tools do, and do not do

There are legitimate ways to tell Google about your site, and it is worth being precise about what they achieve. Verifying your site in Search Console and submitting an XML sitemap is genuinely useful: it helps Google discover your URLs efficiently and gives you the reporting to see what it is doing. The URL Inspection tool can nudge a specific important page into the crawl queue. All of that is discovery help.

None of it is ranking help, and none of it guarantees indexing. Submitting a sitemap does not make Google index a page, it makes Google aware of it, after which Google decides for itself whether the page is worth keeping. Confusing the two is where the disappointment comes from: people submit diligently, watch pages stay out of the index, and conclude the submission failed when submission was never the deciding step. That decision is a quality and crawl-budget question, not a paperwork one.

What to do instead of submitting

If you want a page found and kept, the levers are the real ones. Link to it from pages of yours that already get crawled, because internal links are how Google understands what you consider important. Earn a link or a mention from somewhere external, which both discovers the page and signals it is worth something. Make sure the page is not accidentally blocked, noindexed or canonicalised away, the self-inflicted faults that keep good pages out. And give it a reason to be indexed by being genuinely useful rather than one more near-duplicate.

For a brand-new site with none of that yet, the honest answer is patience plus a couple of real links, not a submission service. If a specific page still refuses to index after that, it is a diagnosis question worth taking to a second pair of eyes, because the cause is almost always something concrete on the site rather than a missing form.

The general lesson

Any product sold against a fear is worth checking against how the system actually works, because the fear is usually the product. Google was designed to find the open web without being asked, and it does. Verify your site, hand it a sitemap, fix what blocks it, and give it real reasons to index your pages. Then stop paying for submissions to engines that either do not exist or found you weeks ago.
