Short answer: one proper submission plus automation — you do not need to keep manually re-submitting the whole site. Verifying the site in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, submitting a correct sitemap (and referencing it from robots.txt), and then letting those systems + modern push protocols handle updates is the reliable workflow. A sitemap helps discovery but does not guarantee crawling or indexing; Search Console is the place to watch coverage and errors. (developers.google.com)

Practical steps (fast checklist you can apply today):

  • Verify the property in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
  • Submit your sitemap once in each tool, and add a Sitemap: line to your robots.txt so crawlers can find it automatically.
  • Enable a push method for fast updates: use IndexNow (or your CMS/plugin/Cloudflare integration) so participating engines are notified immediately; Bing also recommends submitting sitemaps in Webmaster Tools and processes sitemaps frequently. Note that old anonymous ping endpoints were deprecated — use verified tools or IndexNow instead. (indexnow.org)

When to request a manual re-crawl: use Google’s URL Inspection -> Request Indexing only for a handful of urgent URLs (e.g., fixed pages after a critical bug, or a press release). That tool has quotas and requesting reindexing does not guarantee immediate inclusion. For large numbers of changes automate via sitemaps + IndexNow (for Bing/participants) and monitor Search Console coverage, crawl-errors, and lastmod timestamps in your sitemap. Building natural links (backlinks) and internal linking helps discovery but does not replace the technical steps above. (developers.google.com)

Context tied to earlier replies: and were right that repeated bulk submissions are unnecessary; and pointed you toward webmaster tools — those remain central; and ’s backlink point is valid for discovery, though it is complementary to (not a substitute for) sitemaps and push notifications.

Quick robots.txt example:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Follow that setup, monitor Search Console/Bing reports, and only use manual requests sparingly.

i think, to submit once is enough.

Twice is good. I Think more submits is worst for your website.

I would only recommend submitting once to Major SE's if your focus is mainly Google Traffic then a slight increase in Google crawl rate via Googles Web master tools is a good way to get any new content and pages crawled and indexed fast, It also helps for first timers to setup your site via web master tools to help inclusion in the SE quickly.

Submitting site multiple time to search engine will not actually increase your page rank, if you are talking about google.
So try to drop as many backlinks you can, it will drive site growth into a very positive mode. Try to use webmaster tools to check the broken links and your page impression.

Submit your sitemap using Google webmaster, that way Google will re-visit as per the parameters in your sitemap and Google's own notion about the site's modification frequency. Another advantage of sitemap is you can tell Google not to miss any important page.
