Just to get indexed, fastest way is to get a link on a G+ account.  It'll be hit almost instantly.  

Agree with Nick on the rest - get webmasters, submit sitemap.  Pretty easy setup stuff.

Hi Shane,

To get your website indexed on google you can manually submit it to google via this google link:

http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/  

The first 3 links under "web" are what you need to pay attention to. The first link does what you want it to - it will submit your website address to the google index. 

You will need to register for a google webmaster tools account to add a sitemap. A sitemap tells google what pages are on your site and what pages to "crawl" or look at - instead of it trying to follow links through. It is good SEO practice to have a site map. If there are sites you don't want to look at you need to add what is called a robots.txt file to your website.

If you website is a fairly new website, you should also try and get relevant external links pointing to your website, because search crawlers also look at a sites backlink profile to determine relevancy. An easy quick win would be to submit the site on relevant business directories i.e. hotfrog.com.au

Would love to get your thoughts on this too @Meng Lin 

I've done much work on this the past few years! Here are the key points:
Understanding the distinction between indexing and ranking on Google is crucial before delving into how to get your website indexed. Indexing refers to the process by which Google discovers and stores your website's pages in its database. Ranking, on the other hand, is the process by which Google determines the relevance and quality of your pages to display them in search results for specific queries. Both are vital for your website's visibility but involve different strategies and considerations.

• Indexing: The first step in the SEO process where Google uses bots (also known as spiders or crawlers) to collect information about your website’s pages and adds them to its vast index. If your page is not indexed, it cannot appear in search results.
• Ranking: After a page is indexed, Google analyzes it among billions of others to decide where it should appear in the search results for various queries. This is influenced by numerous factors, including keywords, relevance, page quality, and user engagement.

1. Create High-Quality Content:

   • Ensure your website offers valuable, unique, and engaging content.
   • Regularly update your site with fresh content to encourage Google’s crawlers to visit more frequently.

2. Optimize Your Site Structure:

   • Use a clear and logical structure that makes it easy for crawlers to navigate your site and understand its hierarchy.
   • Employ a mobile-friendly design as Google uses mobile-first indexing.

3. Submit Your Site to Google:

   • Use Google Search Console to submit your website’s sitemap directly to Google. This acts as an invitation for crawlers to visit your site.
   • Use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console to request indexing for new or updated pages.

4. Employ Internal Linking:

   • Use internal links wisely to help Google find new pages on your site.
   • Ensure that no page is an 'island' and that every page is accessible through linking from another page on your site.

5. Improve Page Load Speed:

   • Google favors sites that load quickly. Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to analyze and improve your page load times.

6. Ensure Your Robots.txt File Is Optimized:

   • This text file tells Google’s crawlers which pages or sections of your site should not be indexed.
   • Ensure it's correctly configured to not accidentally block important pages from being indexed.

7. Use Social Media and External Links:

   • Share your content on social media platforms and try to obtain backlinks from reputable sites to increase your site’s visibility to crawlers.

8. Check for Crawl Errors:

   • Regularly monitor Google Search Console for any crawl errors that could prevent your pages from being indexed and address them promptly.

9. Avoid Duplicate Content:

   • Google tends to ignore duplicate content, so ensure each page on your site is unique.

10. Utilize Structured Data:

    • Implement structured data (schema markup) to help Google understand the content of your pages better, potentially enhancing your chances of being indexed and ranked effectively.

• Keep an eye on how many of your site’s pages are indexed over time through Google Search Console. A sudden drop in indexed pages could indicate an issue with your site that needs to be addressed.

By following these steps and maintaining a website that caters to both users' needs and Google’s indexing requirements, you can improve your chances of being indexed. Remember, indexing is just the beginning. To rank well, you'll need to dive deeper into SEO best practices, focusing on providing the best possible content and user experience.
