What is the Google Indexing API?

It's a Google API that tells search bots a URL is new or updated. Google says it's officially for JobPosting and BroadcastEvent content, but in practice it works as a strong 'please crawl this URL now' hint for any page.

Will this guarantee my pages get indexed?

No tool can guarantee Google indexes your page — only Google decides. What we guarantee is that your URLs are pushed through Google's own Indexing API (and Inspection API) using your own Search Console access. That's the strongest crawl signal you can send.

We don't charge for the free daily quota. When you need more, buy a one-time pack: $9.99 = 50 credits. Each credit = 1 URL submission to the indexer, status checker, or auditor. Free quota runs first, then credits cover the rest. You can spend up to 150 credits a day total, buy one pack at a time (up to 200 credits per day), and credits expire 30 days after purchase. No subscription.

Is this allowed by Google?

Yes. We use Google's own OAuth flow — you sign in, we get scoped access to your verified Search Console properties, and we call the Indexing/Inspection APIs as you. No service accounts, no shared credentials, no 'block-able' patterns.

What if a submission fails?

You see the exact reason per URL — quota hit, property not verified, robots blocked, etc. Retry the batch from your history with one click; free retries respect your daily quota, paid retries open a new checkout.

What are the daily limits?

Free quotas reset every day at midnight UTC: 20 indexer / 20 status check / 20 audit per user. Beyond that, you spend credits — up to 150 credits/day total per user. Google's own caps apply on top: 200 indexing publishes/day on our project, 2,000 URL inspections/day per property.

What data do you store?

Your Google email, your refresh token (encrypted at rest), and the URLs + results of each batch you submit. No content scraping, no analytics about your pages, no email sent to you we didn't promise.

Can I delete my data?

Yes — Settings → Delete my data wipes your user record, every batch, and revokes the OAuth refresh token. You can also revoke our access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Do you support Bing / Yandex?

Yes. The Bing tab pushes URLs through the IndexNow protocol (Bing + Yandex) and Bing Webmaster Tools. Bing's retrieval index now feeds ChatGPT Search and is a major Perplexity source, so submitting to Bing is also how you reach those AI assistants.

Can ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity see my site?

Only if your robots.txt allows the answer-time AI crawlers (ChatGPT-User, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot). Run our free AI bot auditor on your domain — we'll show you exactly which AI bots can reach you and which are blocked.

Should I block GPTBot and other AI training bots?

Depends on your stance. The common 2026 pattern: block training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot) to opt out of model training, but allow answer-time fetchers (ChatGPT-User, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot) to keep citation traffic. Our AI bot auditor flags inconsistencies between the two.

What's llms.txt and do I need one?

It's a proposed plain-text manifest at /llms.txt that gives AI assistants a curated, link-rich tour of your site. Doesn't gate access (that's robots.txt) — it helps AI assistants ground answers about your content. We generate one from your sitemap in the dashboard.

If a paid batch fails to submit (network error on our side, Google API down for everyone), email support and we'll refund the batch. Submissions that complete-but-don't-result-in-indexing aren't refundable — Google's decision, not ours.

AI search visibility

Win the AI search era — not just the blue links

Search is splitting in two. A growing share of your traffic now comes from being the URL that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews cite. IndexerNow gives you one workflow for both games: get indexed by Google and readable by the models.

Frequently asked questions

A note on Google's Indexing API:

Officially it targets JobPosting and BroadcastEvent content. For other content types it works as a strong "please crawl" hint but Google doesn't guarantee indexing. The URL Inspection API is read-only and reports the index status Google already has on file.
