Get your backlinks crawled, indexed, and counted
A backlink only passes value once Google has crawled the page it lives on. Many never get crawled for weeks — so the link does nothing. Push your linking URLs through Google's Indexing API and IndexNow in bulk, then verify which ones actually landed.
The problem
You built (or bought) links — guest posts, directories, profiles, PBN pages, digital-PR placements. Google's crawler reaches high-authority pages constantly but visits low-authority ones rarely, so a brand-new link on an obscure page can sit uncrawled for weeks. Until that page is crawled, the link is invisible to Google and counts for nothing.
How IndexerNow fixes it
- Paste your list of linking URLs — or pull them straight from a sitemap or export.
- We clean and dedupe the list, then push each URL through Google's Indexing API as a crawl request.
- The same list goes to Bing & Yandex via IndexNow — which also feeds ChatGPT Search and Perplexity.
- Bulk-check status afterwards so you can see exactly which linking pages Google crawled and indexed.
- Everything runs on your own Google account, Cloud project, and quota — never a shared pool.
Before you push
A crawl request only helps if the linking page is actually crawlable. Run a linking URL through the indexability checker first — if it's blocked by robots.txt or carries a noindex, the link will never count no matter how often you submit it. New to the API limits? The quota calculator shows how your volume maps to Google's 200/day.
Frequently asked
Why don't my backlinks get indexed?
Most backlinks sit on low-authority or rarely-crawled pages — forum profiles, comments, new directories, fresh guest posts. Google may take weeks to crawl them, and a link on a page Google hasn't crawled passes no signal. Prompting a crawl of the linking URL is what gets the link seen.
Is submitting backlink URLs to the Indexing API allowed?
You're requesting a crawl of public URLs — the same thing a sitemap ping does. IndexerNow runs on your own Google Cloud project and quota, never a shared pool, so you stay inside Google's terms and your own rate limits. Submit pages you have a legitimate reason to want crawled.
How do I know a backlink got indexed?
After pushing the linking URLs, run them through a bulk status check (URL Inspection API). You'll see which linking pages Google has crawled and indexed — that's when the link actually counts.
Google or Bing?
Both. Push the linking URLs through Google's Indexing API and the same list to Bing/Yandex via IndexNow — which also feeds ChatGPT Search and Perplexity. One paste, both engines.
