🔍 Overview
Cloud stacks are designed to support your link-building and authority strategy, but Google does not guarantee indexation for any URL — including cloud stack pages. If your cloud stack URLs have not been indexed after several months, this article explains why that happens and what you can do about it, including how to use the built-in Indexing Tool to manually submit URLs to Google.
⚠️ Why Cloud Stack URLs May Not Get Indexed
Google crawls and indexes URLs at its own discretion. Even well-structured cloud stack pages can go unindexed for a variety of reasons:
- Low crawl priority: New or low-authority domains are crawled less frequently by Googlebot.
- Lack of inbound links: Pages with no external links pointing to them are harder for Google to discover.
- Crawl budget constraints: On large sites or networks, Google may not allocate crawl budget to every page.
- Content thinness: Pages that appear low-value or duplicative may be deprioritised or skipped entirely.
These factors can delay indexation by weeks or even months, regardless of how the cloud stack was built.
✅ What You Can Do: The Indexing Tool
If your cloud stack URLs have not been indexed after a reasonable amount of time, the most direct solution is to use the Indexing Tool inside Search Atlas. This tool lets you manually submit URLs to Google for indexation rather than waiting for organic discovery.
To access the Indexing Tool, go to Left sidebar → Authority → Indexer (URL Indexer).
📋 How to Submit URLs with the Indexing Tool
- Navigate to Left sidebar → Authority → Indexer (URL Indexer).
- Click Index URLs on the page.
- Paste the cloud stack URLs you want to index, one per line.
- Review the list to confirm all URLs are correct.
- Click Index URLs to send the URLs for indexation.
- Monitor the status column over the following days to track whether each URL has been picked up by Google.
Each URL push costs approximately $0.10 per URL. This cost is deducted from your account credits. Make sure your account has sufficient credits before submitting a batch of URLs.
💡 Tips for Better Indexation Results
- Prioritise your most important URLs first. Submit cloud stack pages that are closely tied to your target keywords or anchor text strategy.
- Combine the Indexing Tool with linking. URLs that also receive inbound links — from blog posts, social profiles, or other authority assets — tend to get indexed faster and stay indexed longer.
- Avoid re-submitting too quickly. If a URL has been pushed recently, wait at least 7–10 days before pushing it again to avoid wasting credits.
- Check for technical issues first. Before submitting, verify that the cloud stack URL loads correctly and is not returning an error code such as 404 or 503.
🔎 How to Check Whether a URL Is Already Indexed
Before spending credits, confirm a URL is genuinely not indexed. The quickest way is to paste the full URL into Google search using the format site:yoururl.com/page. If no result appears, the page is not currently indexed and is a candidate for the Indexing Tool. You can also review indexation status directly within the URL Indexer dashboard, which displays the last known status for each submitted URL.
📍 Where to Find Your Cloud Stack URLs
If you are unsure which URLs to submit, navigate to Left sidebar → Authority → Cloud Stacks to view all cloud stacks associated with your account. From there you can copy the individual page URLs and paste them into the URL Indexer.
🕐 What to Expect After Submitting
Submitting a URL via the Indexing Tool signals Google to crawl and consider that page for indexation. Most URLs submitted this way are crawled within a few days, though actual indexation is still at Google's discretion. You should see meaningful progress within 7–14 days of submission. If a URL remains unindexed after 14 days despite being pushed, it may indicate a content or technical issue with the page itself that is preventing Google from indexing it.
