My link isn't showing in Google Search Console

It's completely normal for a link to be indexed by Google but not show up in Google Search Console (GSC), so there's no need to worry if you can't see it there.

GSC only shows a sample of links rather than every single one, and this sample can change over time. It can also take a while for a link to register in GSC, even after it has already been picked up by Google.

How we check your links are working

What matters most is that the placement is indexed, as this confirms it has been picked up by Google and is providing value. We check indexation directly rather than relying on GSC.

Our guarantee is that placements will be indexed. We cannot guarantee that links will appear in GSC or other webmaster tools, as these can be inconsistent at times.

If you're ever unsure whether a placement is indexed, get in touch and we'll be happy to check this for you.
