The domain ghost.elyob.com had been sitting as a single-page "coming soon" Ghost install for years. Nobody visited it. Google had no reason to care. Then in April 2026 I signed up to Claude Code and started building the blog — connecting APIs to Immich (photos), Dawarich (GPS), Photon (geocoding), and generating posts, maps, photo carousels, and a custom theme all through Claude Code.
I published the first few pages and flipped it live on April 12, then kept building. Within days it had grown to 163 pages. Three days after launch I submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console. This post tracks how long it takes Google to discover and index a site that appeared almost overnight.
Everything on this page updates automatically every morning via the Search Console API. No manual checks, no guessing.
