Indexing Publications: How It Works
A link from a page that is not indexed by Google does not pass weight. Therefore, indexing publications is part of the cascade's work, not a separate service: the platform submits publications for indexing and checks their status in search.
How the Process Works
- Submission. Each successful publication of the first and second level goes to the forced indexing service immediately after placement.
- Verification. The system searches for the page in the results and repeats the check at intervals — indexing can take weeks.
- Reflection in the report. The status is visible for each publication in the report and in the “Pulse” of the project.
What Shares Are Achieved in Practice
| Level | Checked Links | In Index | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| First — direct links to your site | 1,647 | 731 | 44.4% |
| Second — amplification of publications | 13,256 | 4,669 | 35.2% |
Data as of September 12, 2026; the denominator is the checked links for which the indexing measurement has already been performed. A detailed analysis with caveats can be found in the article “How Many Publications Actually Get Indexed”.
Platform Rotation by Indexability
Statistics are accumulated for each platform: what share of its publications actually gets indexed. A total of over 25,000 measurements have been collected, and they directly influence the choice of platform for placement — those that index better receive priority. Platforms whose publications do not get indexed are disabled: currently, 27 out of 72 checked are turned off. How the selection works in full is described in “How We Select Platforms”.
Priority Indexing
Priority indexing is an optional feature at launch: publications enter an accelerated queue and receive up to three retry attempts. It increases the likelihood and speed of getting indexed.
Not to Be Confused with Indexing Your Own Site
This refers to cascade publications on third-party platforms. For pages of your own site, there is a separate section in the cabinet with a free queue and paid acceleration — see “Indexing Site Pages”.
What You Can Check Yourself
Live indexing statistics are collected on the public page: dynamics of finds in the index by days and current leaders in rotation. For a specific page, the status is visible in the “Pulse” — how many of its publications are already in the index. You can check a specific address with a free checker.
What to Do If Indexing Is Slow
- Check that the target page itself is indexed and not blocked from robots.
- Give it time: some publications enter the index weeks after placement.
- Enable priority indexing on new launches.
- Look not at individual links but at the dynamics — “Pulse” will show if the number of indexed ones is growing.
