Is it going to start popping up on search results pages?&lt;br /&gt; Not before that page is indexed!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What is indexing?&lt;br /&gt; It&amp;rsquo;s how search engines organize your content and billions of other pages so that they can eventually appear in search results.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;According to Google:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;The indexing of your content by Google is determined by system algorithms that take into account user demand and quality checks.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;Indexing Period&quot; name=&quot;Indexing Period&quot;&gt;How Long Does Google Indexing Take?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Although there is no precise period of time that anyone can affirm, we know that the indexing process usually takes a few days. It can sometimes, however, take up to 3 or even 6 months.&lt;br /&gt; That being said, this period is not to be left to luck, it can be influenced by Google indexing factors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;5 Major Google Indexing&quot; name=&quot;5 Major Google Indexing&quot;&gt;The 5 Major Google Indexing Factors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are more than 5 Google Indexing factors, that&amp;rsquo;s a fact. But, not all of these factors are of the same importance.&lt;br /&gt; In fact, these 5 factors are the most important ones that you should keep in mind when optimizing your&amp;nbsp;technical SEO&amp;nbsp;performance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Let&amp;rsquo;s go through them one by one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Inclusion Ratio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Inclusion ratio (a ratio) is a metric that helps you understand the number of pages indexed compared to the number of pages you&amp;rsquo;ve actually created.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is calculated following this formula:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://devbrains.tn/uploads/blog/attachments/how-long-does-google-indexing-take-and-how-to-speed-it-up/inclusion-ratio-623a6dc2612a4705530206.png&quot; style=&quot;height:151px; width:506px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;How do you know the number of indexed pages?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Let&amp;rsquo;s take Google for instance. If you want to know the number of indexed pages of your website, you can search:&amp;nbsp;site:yourwebsite.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For example, the number of indexed pages of our site, DevBrains, is 164&amp;nbsp;(03/23/2021)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://devbrains.tn/uploads/blog/attachments/how-long-does-google-indexing-take-and-how-to-speed-it-up/devbrains-result-search-623a6dc25f68f533846715.png&quot; style=&quot;height:169px; width:913px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now how can this number help you know how long Google indexing takes on your website? And more importantly, how can it help you fix it?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The inclusion ratio comes down to 3 results:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;IR &amp;lt; 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;IR = 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;IR &amp;gt; 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s go through these cases, one by one:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Inclusion Ratio &amp;lt; 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the number of indexed pages is less than the actual counts, that means you have&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;blocked pages&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Inclusion Ratio = 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Or almost equal to 1&lt;br /&gt; You&amp;rsquo;re all set! This is, according to technical SEO specialists, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ideal situation&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Inclusion Ratio &amp;gt; 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the index count is higher than the actual number of pages on your website, you may be facing a serious problem:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Duplicate content&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Sitemaps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sitemaps are a Google indexing factor. As we went through how Google discovers pages in this&amp;nbsp;post (&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/2021/09/seo-only-works-on-crawlable-websites.html&quot;&gt;Google Crawling Process&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;), sitemaps make the crawling process -and thus the indexing one faster.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;What Is a Sitemap?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sitemaps are files that tell Google about any new or changed pages on your website. They contain data such as your URLs, metadata, last update dates, updating frequency, &amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Google supports various sitemap formats:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;RSS, mRSS, and Atom 1.0&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Text&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;h3&gt;How to Create a Sitemap?&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. CMS Automatically makes one for you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Using a CMS like WordPress, Wix, or Blogger, you probably already have a sitemap available for search engines.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Create your sitemap manually&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re not, you can create it manually using a text editor such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search?q=windows+notepad&quot;&gt;Windows Notepad&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; There is a format for sitemaps in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/sitemaps/build-sitemap#sitemapformat&quot;&gt;Sitemap Formats&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;section.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Generate a sitemap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; If you&amp;rsquo;re not using a CMS, and have no idea how to make your own sitemap, you can simply go to this&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/&quot;&gt;XML sitemap generator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;How to Find your Sitemap?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Type in your domain name e.g. https://devbrains.tn&amp;nbsp;with the following endings:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;/sitemap&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;/sitemap.xml&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;/sitemap_index.xml&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s how our sitemap looks like:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml&quot;&gt;https://debrains/sitemap.xml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sitemap is not necessary, but it makes indexing much easier, helps you predict how long Google indexing takes and speeds it up.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;How to Submit Your Sitemap?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. Go to Google Search Console&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. Click on&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Sitemaps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. Enter Sitemap URL&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Submit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;your sitemap&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;XML Sitemaps Best Practices&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Following XML&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html&quot;&gt;sitemap protocol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Limiting sitemap to 50,000 pages&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Adding XML sitemap location to Robots.txt&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Using canonical URLs only&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Blocked Pages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Blocked pages are what make your Inclusion Ratio less than 1, and you&amp;rsquo;re the one who decides what to block.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why? And how block pages?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s start with the why&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; There are quite pages recommended to block, such as:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; - Gift registry pages&lt;br /&gt; - Account pages&lt;br /&gt; - Internal search pages&lt;br /&gt; - Wish lists pages&lt;br /&gt; - Favorite store pages&lt;br /&gt; - Store flyers pages&lt;br /&gt; - And the list goes on, depending on the niche of your site&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; To have a clearer image, you can look at what pages your direct competitors are blocking.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How to block pages?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Robots.txt is what we use to block certain URLs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What happens is when a crawler bot comes to your website the first pages they would visit are first your sitemap second your robot&amp;#39;s text&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;In case you see a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;#&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in any robots.txt, that is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;comment&lt;/strong&gt;, meaning that the line is not an instruction for crawlers but for other humans.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;User-agent&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is used to name the crawler. In our case, the bot Mediapartners-Google is not allowed to crawl our site.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;User-agent *&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;means that all other user agents are allowed to crawl the entire site (Google&amp;rsquo;s, Yandex&amp;rsquo;s, Bing&amp;rsquo;s,...)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;disallow&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;instruction is used to block crawlers from crawling and thus indexing particular pages. Each blocked page should be on a separate line. In our case, we blocked internal search pages from being indexed.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The last line of your robots.txt should contain your&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;sitemap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;As a plus, you can test your robots.txt using&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/robots-testing-tool&quot;&gt;the robots.txt tester&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Duplicate Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;You may think that duplicate content means the same blog posts published. And while that&amp;rsquo;s true, duplicate content refers to much more:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Session IDs pages (usually in eCommerce websites)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Account pages&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Cart pages&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Internal search results&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Product variation pages (colors, sizes, &amp;hellip;)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Filters&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Duplicate content will affect how long Google indexing takes for your site, by making it much slower, since search engines will have a hard time deciding which page to rank first.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;How to Deal With Duplicate Content?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Block Pages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Pages such as internal search should be blocked in your robots.txt&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Add Canonical Tags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A canonical tag, placed in the HTML head, enforces the best URL to be indexed. The choice of this page is usually based on Page Authority.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;3. 301 Redirects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Essentially, redirecting a URL tells your visitors and Google that the page is located at a new address.&lt;br /&gt; According to Google, redirects are particularly useful in the following circumstances:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Meta Robot Tags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; You can also stop Google from indexing these pages by using a NOINDEX line&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://devbrains.tn/uploads/blog/attachments/how-long-does-google-indexing-take-and-how-to-speed-it-up/meta-robot-tag-623a6dc261750159804073.png&quot; style=&quot;height:133px; width:638px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Note that there are other solutions such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;URL parameters&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, however, it is advised that you only mess with these if you know what you&amp;rsquo;re doing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Mobile Experience&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;The mobile experience is directly linked to your ran, ing on Google. As a matter of fact, since the number of mobile searches has surpassed that of desktop searches, Google split their index based on the device a search is done on.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There are basically 2 factors that you should keep in mind when monitoring your mobile experience:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Page Speed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The following metrics are used to measure mobile site speed:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Requests (Fully Loaded)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Load Time (Fully Loaded)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Time to First Byte&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bytes In/Total Size in KB&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Content Breakdown by MIME Type&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Redirects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rendering&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rendering means how your site looks to mobile phone users, and that experience will result in a faster (or slower) indexing period.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;On-Page SEO&quot; name=&quot;On-Page SEO&quot;&gt;On-Page SEO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just like the 5 factors above, the time period Google takes to index your pages, several on-page SEO practices do (and also affect your ranking).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I&amp;rsquo;m not going to fluff around, here are the main ones:&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Image Alt Attributes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Used in HTML codes, image alt attributes are your chance to insert your target keywords, make your content clearer for users, and easier to index.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is advised to add a descriptive alt attribute containing your target keyword to each image.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Here&amp;rsquo;s an example of an alt attribute:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt; &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;logo.png&amp;quot; alt=&amp;quot;DevBrains Logo&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Title Tags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Titles tags are an important HTML element in your site. They&amp;#39;re the titles that appear on search results pages.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To have the best results, your title tag should be around&amp;nbsp;50-60 characters long, otherwise, it will be cropped.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Header Tags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Header tags are structural elements of a page. They&amp;rsquo;re classified as:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;H1: The main heading&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;H2: Subheading&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;H3:Sub-subheading&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;And so on&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;higher&amp;nbsp;the header is, the&amp;nbsp;more important&amp;nbsp;it is, and thus the richer it should be with&amp;nbsp;keywords.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Having a clean header structure will surely give you an indexing push.&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Anchor Text&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anchor text is the visible text containing a link.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It can look like this (the best):&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-only-keyword-research-template-you-will-need-in-2021-free.html&quot;&gt;The Only Keyword Research Template You&amp;#39;ll Need in 2021 FREE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Or like this&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-only-keyword-research-template-you-will-need-in-2021-free.html&quot;&gt;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-only-keyword-research-template-you-will-need-in-2021-free.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Either way, search engines see this.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, for a better user experience, you should use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first one.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Schema Markups&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Schema markup is used to tell search engines what your content ACTUALLY means. You can add snippets using the Google markup helper.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;Free Tools to Know How Long Google Indexing Takes and Speed It Up&quot; name=&quot;Free Tools to Know How Long Google Indexing Takes and Speed It Up&quot;&gt;Free Tools to Know How Long Google Indexing Takes and Speed It Up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;✔️&lt;strong&gt;Google search console&lt;/strong&gt;: to speed up the indexing of your pages, you can manually submit them to Google.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1.
