Head of Outreach & Vetting Lead
The common misconception among link builders is that once an outreach editor sends a live link, the job is complete. Without indexation in Google cache, the placement provides zero algorithmic value.
Always verify robots.txt meta tags, canonical URL declarations, and host domain crawl velocity before committing to publisher relationships.
On vetted websites with active crawl budgets, indexing occurs within 2 to 7 business days. On dormant sites without regular updates, it can take up to 4-6 weeks without active pinging.
If an article fails to index, we inspect the host site technical directives and, if necessary, replace the placement on an alternative high-authority domain at no extra charge.
