Using Google Cloud for Indexing + PBN Hosting – Still Working in the present time?

Hey BHW,

I've been testing various cloud setups in 2025 - mainly using Google Cloud and AWS - to support PBN hosting and indexing automation.
I’m curious if others here are doing the same and what kind of results you’ve seen. A few questions:

1. Is GCP still considered a reliable source for low-footprint IPs?
2. Have you noticed any issues with indexing speed or pages getting deindexed?
3. Are link automation tools like GSA, RankerX, or others still effective when running on cloud servers?

I’m not promoting anything — just looking to learn from others who are using cloud platforms for black hat or semi-grey SEO workflows.
Appreciate any insights you can share!

Yes, GCP still works fine in 2025 for low-footprint PBN setups — just rotate IPs smartly and use indexing APIs wisely to avoid deindexing issues.

Anyone here still using GCP or AWS for PBN hosting and SEO automation in 2025—how’s indexing and tool performance holding up for you?

Yes, I'm still using both GCP and AWS in 2025 for PBN hosting and automation tasks.

Indexing performance is decent when paired with the right techniques-using Google's own Indexing API helps, but it's not consistent for all content types. I've seen better results when mixing it with third-party indexers and regular content updates. Are you seeing the same thing or are you curious to know if you've found any new strategies to improve consistency?

Thank you so much. Good to hear the answer. When you say "smartly rotate IP", are you using multiple projects on GCP or are you handling it through a proxy or load balancer?
Also, have you had better results using Google's own indexing API or a third party for faster indexing? I'm always interested in learning. I'd love to hear how you handle this at scale.
