The result, visualized

Five views of the same measured result.

Every chart below is drawn from two measured Search Console counts (at signup and at the latest check) plus the published window. Derived figures (multiplier, weekly rate, percentile) are calculated from those.

Trajectory

From 6 to 39 indexed pages

The curve is illustrative. Search Console shows the count holding at about 6 from about Sept 4 to Sept 20, then jumping to 39 indexed pages around Sept 21 and holding into October. See the Search Console report below.

Pages added per week

This case has a start date and a latest Search Console count, but the measurement window is not fixed, so a weekly rate is not calculated. A dated Search Console export would add it.

Of the pages Google knows about on the latest count, 74% are indexed. Pages that are not indexed are the remaining opportunity.

Industry context

Why AI visibility matters for builders and home inspectors

Seasonal and out-of-state homeowners often research builders, inspectors and caretakers from a distance, and more of that research now happens by asking an AI assistant who to call in a specific town.

BrightLocal's 2026 research found business websites make up 42% of local AI citations. A contractor whose own pages describe each service and each town it serves gives AI something specific to cite.

The challenge

Where Summertime Construction started

Summertime Construction covers a lot of ground: custom homes and remodels, construction project management, certified home inspections with thermal imaging and drone roof analysis, and year-round property care across several Northern Michigan towns. Each is a different question a homeowner might ask.

When the site signed up on Sept 3, Google had indexed about 6 pages. At the latest count, 14 pages were not indexed for 1 reason.

The approach

What the Rank Authority platform does

This describes the platform's published capabilities that apply to a site like this one. It is not a log of every change made to Summertime Construction.

  1. 01

    AI Optimization

    Scans every page and deploys on-page and schema fixes, then submits them for indexing.

  2. 02

    RankLink

    Links service and town pages into clusters so the site reads as one local authority.

  3. 03

    Blog Builder

    Publishes complete, structured articles, useful for inspection, building and seasonal-care guides.

Google decides when it indexes, which realistically takes three to four weeks. Nothing is held hostage: cancel and every artifact, fix and article stays live.

Results & interpretation

What the growth means for AI discoverability

Summertime Construction added about 33 indexed pages, taking its index to 6.5 times its starting size. That ranks #4 of 23 Rank Authority cases by growth rate and #17 of 25 by pages added.

Going from about 6 to 39 indexed pages (about +550%) turns a site Google barely knew into one with pages for its services and towns, all available to the AI tools that draw on Google's index. The 14 pages not yet indexed are the next opportunity.

Why indexed pages matter: AI answer engines like Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode build on Google's index, and other assistants draw on search indexes and the web. A page that is not indexed cannot be retrieved, matched or cited. Indexed-page growth is not the same as citations or customers, but it is the precondition for both.

What this means for you

If you run a contracting or home-services business across several towns, each service and each town is a question someone could ask AI. Indexed pages for each one are how you show up in the answer.

FAQ

Questions about this case

Is there a client review?

No review of Rank Authority has been published for this client.

How exact is the starting number?

The Sept 3 figure of about 6 indexed pages is read from the first days of the Search Console chart, so it is approximate. The latest figures (39 indexed, 14 not indexed) are exact.

What is the window?

Sept 3, 2026 to the latest Search Console count, shared Oct 11, 2026. Search Console shows the jump to 39 indexed pages around Sept 21.

How were these numbers measured?

Indexed-page counts come from Google Search Console's Page indexing report, shared Oct 11, 2026: about 6 at signup, read from the first days of the chart, and 39 at the latest count. Multiplier, growth and percentile are calculated from those figures, so they are approximate too.
