How Many Publications Actually Get Indexed

Straight answers 2 min read Updated 12.09.2026
The figure that is usually not shown: 44.4% of verified first-level publications and 35.2% of second-level publications are in Google's index. With a full explanation of how the denominator is calculated.

A link from a page that is not indexed by Google does not pass weight. This is the main hidden cost in link promotion, and almost no one shows figures for it. We do — with all the caveats about how they were obtained.

Our Shares as of September 12, 2026

Second Level — Amplifying Publications18,07213,2564,66935.2%

What is important to understand here: the denominator is the links for which measurements were actually taken. For some publications, the check has not yet been completed, and including them in the calculation would be unfair in either direction. The crowd level is absent in this table: crowd signals solve a different task and are not evaluated by the index.

Is This a Lot or a Little

For public platforms, 35–45% is a working indicator: pages on free services are indexed significantly worse than materials on their own sites, and this is a normal property of the tool, not a defect of a specific contractor. The difference between services is not who has 100% (there are none), but who actually measures this and disables hopeless platforms.

What We Do to Increase the Share

  1. We measure indexability for each platform separately — 25,045 checks have been accumulated.
  2. We disable platforms whose publications systematically do not get indexed.
  3. We automatically submit publications for indexing, with retries.
  4. We provide the option of priority indexing at launch.
  5. We recheck the status in search, rather than considering "submitted" a synonym for "indexed".
What Not to Believe
Any promise of "100% indexing." The decision to include a page in the index is made by Google, and no service can guarantee it — it can only increase the likelihood and honestly show the fact.

How This Is Reflected in Your Project

The indexing status is shown for each publication in the report and aggregated in the "Pulse": how many publications by the link are already in the index. Separately, the platform can work with indexing your own pages — this is a different section of the cabinet, see "Indexing Site Pages".

FAQ

What share of publications gets indexed?
As of September 12, 2026: 44.4% of verified first-level publications and 35.2% of second-level publications — for those links where measurements have already been taken.
Why not 100%?
Pages on public platforms are indexed worse than materials on their own sites. This is a property of the tool, and the decision to include in the index is always made by Google.
Can indexing be accelerated?
Yes, at launch there is an option for priority indexing: publications go into an accelerated queue and receive retries for submission.
