My site is live. What happens next, and how long until people find it?

New sites take time to be found: crawlers usually visit within days, Google and Bing list new pages within a few days to a few weeks, and AI assistants usually start naming a business after weeks to months. Nothing is broken if the first week is quiet.

From day one your site is ready to be found: every page is in your sitemap, your robots.txt welcomes Google, Bing and the AI crawlers, and we tell Bing and the other IndexNow engines about every page when you publish.

The fastest things you can do: share your link on your Google Business Profile and social pages, ask a few happy customers for a Google review, and tell AOS the questions customers ask you. AI visibility shows each step as it happens.
