How long does it take for my website to show on Google?

A quick guide on how long Google takes to index a website

SEO 1 min read Updated 9 Nov 2026

How it works
Once your website goes live with us, it will take sometime for Google to crawl and index your website onto Google Search.

New domain names can take anywhere from 4 days to 6 weeks to show on Google Search results.

For existing domains, a re-crawl and re-index of your website can take up to 2 weeks to be completed by Google.

How to check if my website has been indexed by Google?

Simply go to google.co.uk or google.com. In the search box enter the following:

site:yourwebsitehere.co.uk

This will then produce results if your site has been indexed by Google. If there are still no index results, this means Google hasn’t completed the index of your website and we advise to wait the full 6 weeks. If you are concerned, please get in touch with us so we can look into it.
