How long does it take for Google indexing now?

    Hi folks. So I finally opened another account, wrote an article and it is featured on a niche site...Yay! My question has to do with the fact that apparently you can no longer submit your URL to Google. I guess people wanting to submit URL's now have to go through some "fetch" process. Anyone know anything about this? I understand that Google should automatically crawl the niche sites and eventually pick up my article, but how long should it take before I expect to see a result in search? I even typed in "full article name" plus "niche site" (not those exact words, but you know what I mean) No results. Was featured on niche 2 days ago

    1: When looking to see if an article is indexed, enter the URL in the search results.

    2: Google uses at least 8 global databases, and it takes time for it to index in them all, this is why you may see your new article sometimes and the others it may not show up.

    3: On my own personal site, I get new pages indexed in under 4 minutes of me publishing the page. But I use the fetch option as you've already stated. But to do this you need to have access to the Search Console. The new version of the search console does not have the fetch option, but they have the inspect URL option.

    4: Since this is on the niche site and HP is not going to individually fetch each new URL, you are going to have to wait until Google re-crawls the niche site category page or the home page when your article is listed on it. Alternatively, Google would crawl the sitemap and find your piece. It could be anywhere from a few seconds (if the bot happens to land on a page of the niche site at the very moment your new article is live and linked to from the page being crawled) after moving to a lot longer - maybe up to a week for the niche sites (just my estimation considering the size of the sites. Bigger sites are usually crawled more often).

    EDIT: Every niche site is different and unless the team uses the fetch option, they cannot give you an estimate. Even the employees at Google won't be able to give you a definite answer, because it's all automated.
