Google Docs Help: Publishing your docs

Help us improve our Help Center by editing this article.

In Google Docs, publishing allows you to make your document available to the whole world. Once you publish your document, spreadsheet, or presentation to a webpage, you get a URL. After this, anyone you choose can access your document by linking to it through the URL.

Even after you publish your documents, spreadsheets or presentations, they won't appear in any search index.

To publish your documents, click the Share drop-down menu on the top right and choose Publish as webpage. Then, click Publish document (Publish now in Spreadsheets.)

Note: it's not possible to publish PDFs.

Brevity is the soul of wit!

Brevity is indeed the soul of wit. I have been through the internet haystack wondering if published pages get shown on search results. Apparently, based on this, they do not. However, I hope this applies to ALL search engines and not just Google.
