54% Say Google Indexes New Sites Within A Week

Mar 27, 2013 - 8:34 am 7 by

Google StopwatchA few months ago we asked you how long does it typically take Google to index a new site?

Google is all about speed, from their index to their crawlers, they want new, relevant and unique content in their index immediately. So how long does it really take Google to index a new site?

Well, without Google telling us. I asked SEOs and webmasters what they thought. Here are the results...

New Sites Get Indexed Within:

  • 54% said within a week
  • 30% said within a day
  • 12% said within a month
  • 3% said within 3 months
  • 1% said longer than 3 months

Of course, a lot of it is dependent on the type of site, content and quality. But this is good to see from the eyes of the SEO and webmaster community.

We had almost 500 responses on this poll as well.
