Getting your posts indexed quickly means that people will be able to find it a lot sooner on the search engines. That translates to more traffic for your blog and more income for you if you own a monetized one.
Most new bloggers don't know how to get their pages/posts indexed quickly though. A lot of them just leave it up to Google, that's a big mistake.
Google won't index your posts for days or even weeks if you're new. That's why right after publishing a new post, you need to do several things to make sure that the big G's crawlers find your site ASAP.
Ping your posts
Pinging is your way of telling the internet that you've got new information on your website. This gives Google's crawlers a heads up about a new change or an update you've done and that they need to check your website out.Some platforms do this automatically but there are also free services you can use for this like:

Be sure to bookmark your new posts
Social bookmarking sites are awesome ways to create links to your new posts and make it easier for Google to find them. There are a lot of free and popular sites that'll let you bookmark your sites and they can even drive tons of traffic to your site. All you're normally required to do is register to use them.
The more popular ones you can try are:
Write Regularly
And the last tip I can give you but one that's really important for indexing is to write regularly. Google determines how often it should send it's crawlers to your site based on its assessment of how often you post.
So let's say you write one post a month, chances are Google won't bother checking your site more than a couple times a month for new stuff. But if you published a post 2 or 3 times a week, then Google will consider your blog/site one that publishes frequently and regularly. It'll then check back a lot more often in order to index your new posts more quickly.
That's it for now. Good luck and make sure you make it easy for Google to find your new posts from now on.
