To your success, Chaz and the Entire Team This Week in the Lab with SEO Mad Scientist GBP Indexation: How Long Does it Take? Welcome back, SEO mad Scientists. We missed you last week, but we are back this week with some exciting GBP test updates… Let's jump right into it with new GBP indexation tests... The first part of these tests is basic, “How long does it take for a GBP to ‘index’?” We began by creating a new listing (the one in last week's update) and did very little on listing optimization. No services, no description, just the business name, business hours, and category… The business name is branded and does not contain any local or keyword terms or local or keyword term variations… We didn’t begin with any on-listing optimization. We only built a basic website with some relevant pages and inner linking. The website itself was not heavily optimised, mostly just mentioned various services keywords we are tracking… Right Out the gate, we are not showing for our brand or ANY SEO terms… The website itself was put up on an old domain that was not indexed so upon putting up the GBP, the website we added to the listing was not indexed in Google's search. We wanted to ensure everything was launched at the same time (within 24 hours) For the first 48 hours, we didn’t have any visibility in Search. When searching for our exact brand name, we did not even see our GBP or website in organic or maps. In about two and a half days we saw the listing official begin to show in search results for the Brand name in our tracking range. We did not show for ANY keywords on our website or anything else, but the exact category we listed on the listing began to show in maps. Very limited but obvious that upon the initial listing going live in SERPs, Google seems to specifically look at the brand name and business category as the primary “indexing” factors. We already assumed this to be true but did not know for sure or the exact time frames. From all possible keywords we are tracking, it's important to note that the very first things Google showed us in SERPs for are the In our other tests, we did not see a time period longer than 3 days for our listing to show in SERPs after going up. There is a good chance that Google does not use the website for listing relevance initially even though we have seen evidence they do overall. Since we put the listing and the website live around the same time, we are also tracking the organic indexation and rankings of our website and upon the listing showing, the website itself is not indexed in organic search. If the onsite impacts the listing, then we assume that once our website is indexed, we would see impacts on the listing would occur. This makes us question is the organic index is considered at all when ranking the GBP, or if maps has its own separate way of indexing website content in regards to GBP listings. We will continue to watch the organic indexation and let you know as we track how long it takes to see results. Join us next week for another update on the website's impact on rankings, as well as a look into another part of our GBP tests, GBP service “products” indexation tests… If you remember from previous tests, we have seen the impact of GBP products on maps rankings, so in this test, we wanted to see if we could use products to influence rankings on service keywords. See you next week.
