How long for Google to Index a New Website

[gatormark]

For those who have launched a new website recently (within the past year), how long did it take for Google to index your entire website? This is my first new venture in years. While I have yet to promote it, I have made it available on the web so Google and Bing can index it (I use Google's search engine too). Anyway, in your experience, how long did it take for Google to index your entire website. My website, launched 2 days ago, consists of about 1500 pages.

Do you really mean indexing? Or do you mean ranking?

In my experience websites are index almost immediately. Go to GSC inspect URL of the homepage and few other relevant pages and the should be good enough to kick-start the process. It wont guarantee that the 1500 pages will indexed but it should sufficiently indexed. Another trick, if you are using AdSense, is to simply navigate to the pages with ads, this forces Google's bots to crawl the pages, and this will typically result in the page being added to the index.

Now, indexing is one thing, ranking is a whole other thing. Your pages will be in the index but they are unlikely to be seen by anybody. Ranking typically requires links and how long it takes from obtaining links to Google counting those links and then ranking the pages is anyone's guess.

Here's a good guide for you.

Brand new .uk website launched on 1st July.

The site was indexed in about 10-14 days.

1st / 2nd / 3rd page rankings noticed this week.

your first clue will be how much of your site has googlebot crawled.
you can discover this information by analyzing the web server access log file.

I mean indexing (I want to use Google's onsite search engine). Right now my pages show as being discovered by Google, but not indexed.

Thanks

The website is starting to hit Bing today, but only a few pages. Fortunately, one of the pages already has a #1 ranking. :-) I'm pumped.

Google must have heard me. I am starting to see pages on the Google SERP. I am also seeing clicks and impressions in the Google Search Console. I haven't been this excited in a while. It's the first time in YEARS that I've launched a new website.

Great news, gatormark, keep us updated as to how it progresses as it'll be helpful information for everyone.

Well, to this point Google has only indexed a faction of my pages. I assumed the indexing would go faster since I am using their search engine for my website. This is the main reason I wanted it indexed fast. Now, it looks like I'll need to remove Google Search and pay for a website search service.

I have DDG site search installed for several years now, a simple piece of code and works perfectly.

My brand new site launched 1st July is already ranking well in DDG / Bing ... Google's indexed it and some pages are ranking in the first three pages however most are much, much lower therefore I await their climb. They're all excellent unique, quality pages therefore I do not anticipate any issues.

Recent page additions to my global site have taken 4-8 weeks before attaining serious ranking positions.

I assume G has much more garbage to filter than DDG / Bing ?

If the site was launched at the end of July (OP) it may take more than two weeks to 'find' its place in the Google index. I would not expect great performance from any site search engine until it is fully indexed.

I would rely on GSC to tell you that status.

Adding a site map will get the ball rolling.

@RedBar well done. You are the best.
