: How to convince Google to list HTTPS version of website? Having finally configured HTTPS for my company's website, I'm wondering now if there are any steps I can or should take to convince

Having finally configured HTTPS for my company's website, I'm wondering now if there are any steps I can or should take to convince Google's search results to list the site as an HTTPS link rather than an HTTP link.

Is this merely a case of waiting for Google to trawl valid HTTPS links on its own and eventually realize the HTTPS address exists? Or is there some overt actions I should be taking, for example setting up redirects to force the issue?

This is essentially just a normal matter of canonicalization. Using rel=canonical is good if you don't want to redirect. However, keep in mind that you can't use HSTS (which helps users to avoid even asking for the HTTP version) without really making sure that all of your traffic works with TLS/HTTPS.

For Google Webmaster Tools, make sure that you have verified ownership of the HTTPS version too. That way you'll get information on the indexed URL counts, about traffic from search, as well as warnings when Google recognizes something broken.

Google can crawl https as well as http as long as your robots.txt has no restrictions on it, and you have links pointing to your https version listed somewhere publicly.

You can sign up for Google Webmaster Tools to manage and monitor it.
