<b>Is the host page even indexed?</b>

A quietly useful theme this week: the page you paid for isn't in the index.
—
Worth a read: a Reddit thread where buyers ran site: queries on delivered URLs and found a chunk weren't indexed at all.
—
Also circulating: an agency post recommending a 30-day post-placement re-check, since hosts sometimes noindex or prune later.
—
A forum tip: paste the target URL into Search Console's URL inspection if the host will share access — rare, but worth asking.
—
Counterpoint: one reply noted an unindexed page can still get indexed once it has a fresh outbound link, so don't reject on day one.

Editor's note: an insert on a deindexed page is a paid link to nowhere. Easy check, often skipped.

Pick of the week: the 30-day re-check. Placements rot quietly after the invoice clears.
