Indexing: what Fullturn does and how long Google takes
Being published is not the same as being in Google. Fullturn does what it can and tells you honestly where it stands.
What Fullturn does
- It submits your sitemap to Google Search Console when you publish, and again at least weekly. This needs your Search Console account to be a Full user or Owner of the property.
- It does not push ordinary articles to Google by any other route. Google's Indexing API is only for job postings and livestream pages.
- It checks each new article at about 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days after publishing, then re-checks indexed pages every 14 days and unindexed pages weekly.
- It adds up to two links from related posts to a new article, and gives the article a topic category. Links come from pages Google has already indexed first.
The realistic timeline
- Google says days to weeks. No tool can promise 48 hours.
- A check at 48 hours means Fullturn looked and acted by then. It does not mean Google indexed the page by then.
- A new site, or a site that publishes a lot at once, is crawled slowly. Google decides how fast.
- If too few recent articles are indexed, Fullturn slows publishing on purpose and says so on the Content overview. Full speed returns when more are indexed.
What you can do
- Connect Search Console so Fullturn can read the verdicts.
- Make sure your site has no setting that asks search engines to stay away.
- Be patient with the first weeks. More published pages with real links between them is what helps.
