It’s a commonly known fact that search engine optimization is more of a long-term approach while paid search is a short term strategy. But search engines don’t wait too long before an article or a blog page appears on search results.
How long does it take for Google to crawl and index pages that are just recently published? A day? A few hours? An hour?
It takes minutes, actually. Have a look at the attached image below.
But of course, don’t expect this is gonna happen to all pages.

Google’s fresh crawl is quite good at catching new pages. But getting existing pages crawled regularly is another story.
