All those who have worked with websites, are learning to design with a CMS or are just learning the basics, have heard the term "indexing" but have not paid enough attention to this fundamental factor in the management of a website. In reality it takes Google to index a website completely, it is not unheard of, but it is impossible to determine exactly how long it takes.

Google indexes a website completely, after a crawl with Bot that classifies the pages of your website according to an algorithm and sorts them in lists (SERP).

Don't know what indexing is or want to know how long Google takes to index a page? Keep reading this article, and you will get the information you need to know some aspects of indexing.

What is content indexing in Google?

First things first, we must define what we mean by the term indexing in the area of search engines.

The Google indexing is that the search engine has found the website, analysed it and added it to the google index for certain keywords and their synonyms. In other words, just because a website exists, does not mean that google will add it to its search engine so that anyone can find it.

Do you want to know if Google indexed your page in the search engine? There are commands you can use in the google.com search bar called "Footprints", and you can use the "Site:" command to check if a specific page is indexed. This command is used as follows:

How long does it take for Google to index a website?

Knowing the theory, we now ask ourselves how long does it take for Google to index my page? There is no concrete answer to this question, because it can be hours, days, weeks, months or never. On the other hand, never confuse positioning with indexing, because the fact that your website does not appear in the first 10 positions of google, does not mean that google did not index it; you just have to look for it.

If you want to get an idea of how long it might take for your website to be indexed, you should be aware of the following factors:

The age of the website.
Structuring the sitemap
The number of backlinks the website
How much authority the domain has
Optimisation of parameters SEO and keyword usage
Not being penalised, or having corrected the reasons for the penalty.
Avoiding duplicate or plagiarised content
The content of the page must not violate Google's policies.

Indexing is automatic although it may take a while, but there are a few ways to speed up this process and start the SEO work. Some of these methods are:

Learn how to use Search Console

According to Google's support page "Search console is a platform that helps you monitor, maintain and troubleshoot all issues related to the appearance of a website in Google search results".

In other words, instead of google going to your page, you can make your page go to google with the crawl and index request options.

Never forget the website's Sitemap

An xml sitemap is basically a list of all the URLs of a website, made especially for google crawlers so they can find much faster the pages they need to analyse for indexing. Not many know about this factor, but you are one of the lucky ones to know how important it is to be indexed quickly.

Using backlinks and internal linking

The more dofollow backlinks a website has, the faster it will be indexed, gain organic traffic, and have an excellent linkbuilding base. Of course, all this without taking into account that the internal link structure should also be dofollow and that almost all the content of the website should be linked to each other.
