Getting on Google and SEO score

Your post can show on Google only when two things are true: you are "on Google", and the post itself has an SEO score of 75 or more.

You are on Google once 5 items on your profile, each of 300 or more words, score 75 or more. For a post in a community, the community's standing decides instead of yours. Until then the post still works for everyone on Ur Next Door, it just asks search engines not to list it. The "Get on Google" card on your own profile shows where you stand.

"Get on Google" is the point where Ur Next Door starts letting Google and AI search list your profile and your content. Until you reach it, your profile and what you publish on it ask search engines not to list them.

You reach it once 5 items on your profile, each of 300 or more words, have an SEO score of 75 or more. After that, each item can appear on Google once it scores 75 or more itself.

Publish 5 items on your profile that each have 300 or more words and an SEO score of 75 or more. Posts, questions, answers, polls, MCQs, services and jobs all count, but what you publish in a community counts for that community instead.

The "Get on Google" card on your own profile shows how many of your items count so far (for example 3 of 5) and lists the items closest to counting, each with a link to what to improve. A clear title, a few paragraphs with headings and a picture get most posts to 75.

Only substantial items count toward the 5 you need, so an item must have 300 or more words. Short promotions and one-line quizzes were reaching a score of 75, so short items no longer count.

A short item is not wasted: once you are on Google, it can still appear on Google on its own score. The card on your profile marks an item that is too short, for example "120 of 300 words".

Every kind counts: posts, questions, answers, polls, MCQs, services and jobs. Each one counts if it is published, has 300 or more words and scores 75 or more.

Comments are not scored, so they do not count.

No. What you publish in a community belongs to that community, so it counts for the community and not for you. Only items on your own profile count for you.

Whether an item in a community appears on Google, and whether it may carry a link or hashtags, depends on the community's standing, not yours.

A community goes on Google once 5 items published in it, by any member, each of 300 or more words, have an SEO score of 75 or more. After that, each item in it can appear on Google once it scores 75 or more itself.

The community must also be public. Its creator and admins see a "Get on Google" card, titled with the community's name, on its All tab with the progress.

A community stays off Google until 5 items published in it, each of 300 or more words, score 75 or more. Until then its home, lists, pages and content ask search engines not to list them.

Other reasons: the community is private or ask-to-join (only public communities can be on Google), or the Ur Next Door team has kept it off Google, in which case the card says so. A community with nothing published is also kept out.

No. Private and ask-to-join communities and their content are left out of the sitemaps and are not shown to search engines. Only public communities can get on Google.

Most often it is because you are not on Google yet: you need 5 items on your profile, each of 300 or more words, with an SEO score of 75 or more. Until then your profile and its content ask search engines not to list them.

A profile with nothing public on it is also kept out, and so is one the Ur Next Door team has kept off Google (your card then says so). Check your progress on the "Get on Google" card on your own profile.

No. Each item can appear on Google only once it scores 75 or more itself, so items under 75 stay off until you improve them. The card on your profile lists up to 5 of them under "Not on Google until they score 75".

Items that are archived, drafts, scheduled for later, or in a members-only community are not shown to search engines either.

An answer is shown on its question's page, so it follows the question: when the question is on Google, so is your answer on that page. An answer counts toward the 5 items like other content: toward your profile when the question is not in a community, and toward that community when it is.

Yes. Your standing is checked again whenever an item is scored, published, archived, moved or deleted. If you fall below 5 items of 300 or more words scoring 75 or more, your profile and its content go off Google again until you are back at 5.

The same applies to a community, and also when a community changes its privacy.

Yes. Everything still works for members and visitors on Ur Next Door. Being off Google only means your profile and content ask search engines not to list them and are left out of the sitemaps.

On your own profile you see a "Get on Google" card with a progress bar, how many items count so far, and up to 5 items closest to counting, each with a link to what to improve.

Every create and edit form also shows one line about where you stand, and members not yet on Google may see a "Get your posts on Google" card on the home page.

Press "Not now" on the card. It hides the card for 30 days on that browser.

No. Only you see your own card and progress. Visitors and other members never see it.

A community's creator and admins see the card with the community's progress. Only the creator sees the list of the community's items with their scores. Visitors never see any of it.

No. Getting on Google does not depend on your plan: the same rule of 5 items scoring 75 or more applies on every plan. Every plan keeps the SEO and AI search features. See Pricing for what plans add.

The Ur Next Door team can keep a member or a community off Google and out of the ads. While that is on, your profile and everything you own ask search engines not to list them, whatever your items score.

Nothing you published is removed. Write to the team from the Contact page to ask why.

There is no setting for this in your account. Until you are on Google, your profile already asks search engines not to list it. The Ur Next Door team can keep a profile off Google; you can write to them from the Contact page.

The SEO score is a number out of 100 for your posts, questions, answers, polls, MCQs, services and jobs. It shows how easy your content is for Google and AI tools to find and quote, and comes with a list of what to fix.

A score of 75 or more is what an item needs to count toward getting on Google and to appear there.

Only you, the author, and for an item in a community, that community's creator. Other members, community admins and moderators, and visitors never see it, on the website or in the app.

While you create or edit an item, the SEO score panel on the form shows its score, its grade and what to work on, about a second after you stop typing. The "Get on Google" card on your own profile also shows the scores of your items closest to counting.

They are grades for the number: 85 to 100 is Excellent, 70 to 84 is Good, 50 to 69 is Fair, and under 50 is Needs work. The word always shows next to the number.

To count toward Google, an item needs 75 or more.

Fix (red) means something has to change, and it keeps the score at 49 or below until it does. It is rare: a job that asks applicants to pay, or, while you write, more links or hashtags than a save allows. Improve (amber) raises the score when you act on it. Tip (blue) is advice and never changes the score.

They look at your title, your opening paragraph, how long the text is, section headings, words or sentences repeated too often, copies of your own titles or text, your links, topic tags, a cover image and image descriptions.

Services are also checked for a price, a place, a category and questions and answers; jobs for a place, a salary, a deadline and skills. Numbers, dates, places and first-hand experience are suggested because AI answers prefer specifics.

Keep it a good length: for a post, about 30 to 65 characters (questions can be up to about 90). Write it the way you would say it, not in capital letters, use ! or ? only once, and keep to one emoji at most.

Add a few English words if the title is in Hindi, so the page link is readable. Use a different title from your other items.

Google often shows your first lines under the title, and AI tools quote them as the answer. So open with 2 or 3 sentences that sum up your point.

Start with a sentence, not a link, a topic tag, a mention, an image or a greeting like "Namaste doston".

For the full length points, a post needs about 120 words or more (an answer about 40). Posts of 300 or more words can answer more searches, and only items of 300 or more words count toward getting you on Google.

Headings help readers scan, and help Google and AI tools find the part that answers a question. Use Heading 2 in the editor for sections, since the title is already the main heading.

Phrasing a heading as a question people ask is a further tip.

A post or service gets points for a cover image, which shows in Google Discover, shared links and cards; at least 1200 pixels wide is suggested. Every image in the text should have a description, which helps blind readers and Google Images.

Upload images instead of linking them from other sites, since outside images can disappear or load slowly.

Too many links lower the score, and a link to an Ur Next Door page that does not open a public page is flagged. Tips also ask you to use https:// links, give a link words that describe where it goes instead of "click here" or the address, and use the full link instead of a short link.

Linking to a related post on Ur Next Door and to a trusted source for your facts are suggested too.

Repeating a word, a topic tag or a sentence to rank is seen as spam by Google and can push the page down. Write naturally and use each topic tag once.

Two of your pages with the same title compete with each other in search, and Google shows only one of two copies of the same text. Give each item its own title and write the text fresh.

Only your own items are compared, never other members'.

People search in questions, and Google and AI tools pick the page whose title matches the question. For a question, phrasing the title as a question ending with "?" adds to the score.

Add a price or a package, the city or area you serve (not just the state), a category, and 3 or more questions and answers with a full sentence or two each. A short summary is the preview text Google shows under your title.

At least 3 photos of your work is a further tip.

Name the role in the title, without the salary, the city, "urgent" or "hiring". Add the city, the salary or a salary range, an application deadline and 3 to 10 skills; the company's name and sections like Responsibilities and Requirements are tips.

Never ask applicants to pay: Google Jobs removes such listings, and it keeps the score at 49 or below.

People learn more from why an answer is right, and come back for more. The explanation is folded away with the answer under "Show answer", so readers can still try the question first.

No. A low score never stops you from saving or publishing. It only means the item is not counted toward Google and does not appear there until it scores 75 or more.

Separate from the score, a save can be refused for too many links to other websites or too many hashtags, and the message says what to remove.

No. The score comes from fixed rules on Ur Next Door's own servers. It is free and instant, the same text always gets the same score, and nothing you write is sent to an AI service or another website to check it.

No. The score cannot promise a ranking; Google decides what it shows and where. Each fix makes your content easier to find, nothing more.

Every create and edit form shows the checks about a second after you stop typing. With an empty or very short form it says "Tips appear as you write" instead of a score of zero.

Community admins also get the checks when they edit the community's own pages.

Yes. The checks understand Hindi and Hinglish question words, Hindi sentence endings, and measure lengths in words for Hindi text.

No. Having no topic tags is only a tip and does not lower the score, because members not yet on Google cannot add tags and must still be able to reach 75.

Once you are on Google, each post, question, answer, poll, MCQ, comment, service or job may carry 1 link to another website. A save with more is refused with a message saying what to remove.

Links to Ur Next Door pages and community sites, and @mentions, do not count, and the same address twice counts as one link.

Yes, 1 link per item, but it is marked nofollow until you are on Google, so it passes no search credit to that site yet. The mark is removed automatically once you are on Google. A second outside link is refused.

A nofollow link still works for readers, but it tells search engines it passes no ranking credit to the site it points to. On Ur Next Door, a link from a member or community not yet on Google is marked this way until they get on Google.

Your item has more than one link to another website. Keep the one that helps the reader most and remove the rest, then save again. Links to Ur Next Door pages do not count toward the limit.

Once you are on Google, up to 5 hashtags per post, question, answer, poll, MCQ, comment, service or job. A save with more is refused with a message such as "Use at most 5 hashtags. This has 7: remove 2."

Until you are on Google, your #words stay plain text: they are not linked and do not become topics. A save is never refused for them.

Once you are on Google, they become topic tags. In a community, the community's standing decides.

Yes. The limit counts every #word in the title and the text, plus any tags you add, together.

Yes. A title or hashtag in Hindi gets a readable link in English letters, for example /tags/hindi for #हिंदी, and the topic keeps its Hindi name.

Hashtags in other scripts, such as Tamil or Bengali, stay in the text but do not become topic tags yet; the SEO checks tell you.

Not for now. While Google AdSense reviews the site, every topic page and the topics directory ask search engines not to list them and are left out of the sitemap. Members use them as before, and topic tags still work inside Ur Next Door.

No. "World News", "world-news" and "worldnews" are the same topic. A new hashtag reuses the topic already there, and an item tagged two ways keeps it once.

Yes, automatically. Ur Next Door keeps sitemaps for search engines, and each community site has its own. Your profile and content can be listed there once you are on Google and an item scores 75 or more. There is nothing for you to set up or submit to Google yourself; whether and when Google shows a page is Google's decision.

We cannot say: Google decides when it visits a page and whether it shows it. Ur Next Door lists your eligible pages in its sitemaps so Google can find them.

IndexNow is a way to tell search engines right away that a page was added, changed or removed. Ur Next Door uses it to notify Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, Yep and Amazon. It is free and needs nothing from you. When each search engine acts on a notice is up to that engine.

No. Google does not take part in IndexNow. It keeps finding changes through Ur Next Door's sitemaps, as before.

Only the address of the page, and only for pages listed in the sitemaps: once you (or your community) are on Google and the item scores 75 or more. No member or visitor data is sent.

Publishing, editing, moving, archiving and deleting are sent; likes, votes and comments are not.

Ur Next Door lets AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot read its public pages, and publishes an llms.txt guide for AI tools. Whether an AI tool quotes your post is its own decision.

The same Get on Google rule applies: a profile or item not yet on Google is left out of llms.txt and asks not to be listed.

GEO means Generative Engine Optimization: making content easy for AI answer tools to find and quote, the way SEO does for search engines. The SEO checks cover both, for example a clear opening paragraph and specifics like numbers, dates and places.

Your page's "last updated" date moves when you edit the content, or when a comment or answer is added, and the sitemaps carry that date. Google decides when it visits again. Views, likes and votes do not change the date.

No. The score is about what you wrote: the title, text, summary, tags, images and links, and for services and jobs their details. Likes, views and comments do not change it.

A suspended member is removed from every list, feed, search and profile on Ur Next Door, and a suspended account cannot be on Google, so its profile and content leave Google too.
