Google indexed 13 of 16 pages on a brand-new site within one morning

A new website with no backlinks, no audience, and no prior history was launched with 16 pages, a sitemap, and a connected Google Search Console property. By the following morning, 13 of the 16 pages had been indexed by Google without any paid service or special intervention. The team had used Search Console's Request Indexing feature on 9 of the pages that first afternoon, while the remaining 6 were left untouched, resulting in 9 out of 9 requested pages and 3 out of 6 unrequested pages being indexed. The data suggests organic indexing can happen quickly for new sites, though the small sample size prevents any firm conclusions about whether the Request Indexing button made a meaningful difference. The findings also highlight that Google's Indexing API is officially intended only for job postings and live-stream events, meaning its use for general content may not guarantee indexing action despite returning a success response.
