SSL certificates are used to encrypt the transmitted information to secure identities and financial information over the web. At this time, all websites should have an SSL certificate for data integrity, encryption and authentication, whether it collects private information or not.

Google also loves security and would like to establish secure environment over the internet, therefore Google starts giving ranking advantage in search engine to secure HTTPS websites.

However, most important thing â€�" user trust. When users search for the product on search engine and see your website “HTTPS” then users already known that the website is secured and there will be more chances to visit your website and convert visitors into the buyers.

In the Google search console help, there is a post on how to secure your site with https.
There are a few things you need to take care of like setting up 301 redirects, updating robots.txt etc.

Not a ranking factor - but you have to test don't listen to nobody when it comes to seo. Only by testing you know.

https site with SSL certificate are very important for search engine ranking...these criteria are very important to provide security and keep your eCommerce website protected from hackers....since your have a business website you should always have a secure website since it involves lot of money transaction...!!Indexing get be checked on the google webmaster tool..or you can manually also submit your website for indexing...!!!

If your site was changed to https, make sure you can't get to any non-secure http pages (they should be redirecting to https). Then resubmit your sitemap to search console and wait for Google's bots to update the search engines.

This confuses me, because you shouldn't have to create a whole new website with https...just adding a SSL Certificate and making sure your site redirects to https is all you should have to do.

If you have redirected whole your website to https then Create xml sitemap for your redirected website (https urls) and resubmit it through search console (Google webmaster tool) and wait for some days to index it.

But if you have not redirected all website urls to https then follow my reply at thread http://www.warriorforum.com/website-...#/post11037165 to do this.
