Understanding the Indexing Process for Cloudstacks and Press Releases in Site Explorer
Updated over a month ago

Introduction: When it comes to tracking the visibility of your cloud stacks and press releases in Site Explorer, one of the most frequent inquiries is about the indexing process. This article will guide you through the indexing timeline, the role of SearchAtlas, and the necessary steps when content does not appear in Site Explorer.

Why Indexing is Important: Indexing makes your content visible to search engines like Google. Until indexed, your content won't show up in search engine results. It's crucial for customers to know that while we help with the submission, the actual indexing process is managed by third-party services and Google.

The Indexing Process:

  1. Submission for indexing: Once your content is created, it is submitted for Indexing, in a third-party tool responsible for handling the URL submissions to Google for indexing.

  2. Content Indexing Process: After submission, Google typically takes 1-3 weeks to index new content. During this period, the status will display as "Indexing" in the Cloud Stack section. Please note that actual indexing time may vary as it depends on Google's crawling and indexing algorithms.

  3. Final Status – "Indexed": When you see "Indexed" in Cloud Stack section, this indicates that SearchAtlas has successfully indexed the URL.
