# Sites where “indie page” is a top search keyword

One site on record lists “indie page” among the searches that send it the most visitors, by traffic estimates. It is searched about **320** times a month on Google, worldwide (Google Ads, Sept 2026), at about $25.08 a click in search ads: a month of its searches would cost about **$8,026** as search ads. Each site checked on the [backlink value checker](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value) adds its top five search keywords, so this list grows as sites are checked.

### What to do with it

- Treat it as a brand search: Google answers “indie page” with the brand's own pages, so a third-party page competes for what is left; Google's related searches show the angles people take: “Indie hackers”, “Indie page reviews”, “Indie hackers community”.
- Google answers part of it in an AI Overview: the pages it cites get a link above the results.

A business score needs your own figures (conversion, deal value) and is not made here. Scores are fixed formulas over the figures shown; they are not Google's.

Listed A–Z. A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword.
