I wanted to track how fast Google indexes newly launched product pages on firsto.co , so I added a simple Google Index Tracking dashboard in the admin panel. After 3 days of data: ✅ 24 pages tracked ✅ 23 indexed ✅ 96% success rate ⚡ Median index time: 50 min ⏱ Average: 7h 18m
No audience? No problem. Some makers launched on Firsto and now rank alongside — or even above — their own websites on Google. You don't need thousands of followers to get discovered. Build. Launch. Get found. 🚀 firsto.co #buildinpublic #indiedev
Firsto.co 's hero sponsor spot will be available this weekend. Interested in featuring your product? DM me.
