10 Best Google Indexing Tools for Faster URL Indexing

TL;DR

• Google indexing happens in three stages: crawling, indexing, and serving. Google indexing tools can only speed up the first stage. They get Googlebot to your page sooner, but they can’t make Google keep the page.
• For pages on your own site, the free Google indexing tools are the safest choice. Use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection tool for a few priority pages, an XML sitemap for everything else, and Screaming Frog to find out why a page isn’t getting indexed.
• The Google Indexing API is officially limited to job postings and livestream pages. Rank Math’s Instant Indexing plugin runs on the same API, so the same limit applies.
• Paid URL indexers mainly help with pages you don’t control, such as backlinks and guest posts. The main options are IndexMeNow, Rapid URL Indexer, SpeedyIndex, Omega Indexer, and Indexceptional.
• Rapid URL Indexer is the cheapest website indexer per URL, at about 0.04–0.05.
• IndexMeNow is the priciest, but it has the most established refund process.
• No indexing software can force Google to index a weak page. If the content is thin or duplicated, fix the content first.

You publish a post, wait a week, search for it, and it isn’t there. You open Search Console and the page is sitting under “Discovered – currently not indexed,” with no explanation. Sometimes, Google index pages then removes them awkwardly. 

That’s the reason Google indexing tools exist. Some are free and come from Google. Others are paid URL indexers built mostly for SEOs who need backlinks noticed. Most articles about them just list names and prices. This guide goes further. It explains how Google indexing works, then walks through each tool step by step so you know exactly what to click, what to paste, and what to expect afterward.

Before we get to the tools, you need a basic picture of what Google does with a URL. Without it, you’ll likely pay for fixes to problems no tool can solve.

How Google Indexing Works

Google processes every page in three stages.

1. Crawling. Googlebot finds your URL and downloads the page. It discovers URLs by following links from pages it already knows about, by reading your sitemap, and through direct requests such as the ones you send from Search Console. Google also renders the page, meaning it runs the JavaScript so it sees what a visitor would see.

2. Indexing. Google analyzes the page’s text, images, title, and structured data. It checks whether the page duplicates another one and picks the canonical version. Then it decides whether the page is worth storing in its index. Not every crawled page makes the cut, and Google is increasingly selective.

3. Serving. When someone searches, Google pulls the most relevant pages from its index and ranks them.

Indexing tools only help with stage one. They get Googlebot to your page faster. Stage two, the decision to keep the page, depends on quality, uniqueness, and how well the page is linked from the rest of your site. Google confirms this in its own documentation: it says its systems prioritize fast inclusion of high-quality, useful content, and that requesting a recrawl doesn’t guarantee the page will be included.

The two statuses that matter

In Search Console’s Pages report, you’ll see two common “not indexed” statuses. They mean very different things:

Status	What it means	What actually helps
Discovered – currently not indexed	Google knows the URL exists but hasn’t crawled it yet	Crawl-request tools, sitemaps, internal links
Crawled – currently not indexed	Google visited the page and chose not to index it	Better content, stronger internal links. Resubmitting rarely helps.

If your pages are stuck on “Discovered,” indexing tools can help a lot. If they’re stuck on “Crawled,” most of the paid website indexers below will waste your money. Fix the page first.

Types of Google Indexing Tools

The 10 tools fall into three groups:

• Official Google tools (Search Console, sitemaps, the Indexing API): free and safe, but they only work on sites you’ve verified.
• Plugins and diagnostic indexing software (Rank Math Instant Indexing, Screaming Frog): automate submissions or find what’s blocking indexing.
• Third-party URL indexers (IndexMeNow, Rapid URL Indexer, SpeedyIndex, Omega Indexer, Indexceptional): paid services that push any URL, including backlinks on sites you don’t own.

1. Google Search Console – URL Inspection Tool

Website: search.google.com/search-console
Help guide: URL Inspection tool documentation

This is the most direct way to ask Google to index a single page, and it’s where every indexing fix should start.

How to use it for indexing

1. Sign in to Search Console and select your property. You have to be an owner or full user to request indexing.
2. Paste the full URL into the inspection bar at the top of the screen and press Enter.
3. Read the result. “URL is on Google” means you’re done. “URL is not on Google” means keep going.
4. Click Test Live URL. This checks whether Googlebot can reach and render the page right now, and it catches problems like noindex tags, robots.txt blocks, or server errors.
5. If the live test passes, click Request Indexing. Google runs a quick check and adds the URL to its crawl queue.
6. Come back in a day or two and inspect the URL again to see whether its status has changed.

Features: Live URL testing, index status, the canonical URL Google chose, last crawl date, and structured data detection.

Pricing: Free.

Pros:

• It’s Google’s own tool, so there’s zero policy risk
• It tells you why a page isn’t indexed, not just that it isn’t
• Usually the fastest way to get one important page crawled

Cons:

• There’s a daily quota, and Google warns that requesting the same URL again won’t get it crawled any faster
• Google doesn’t publish the exact limit, but most SEOs report around 10–15 URLs per property per day
• It only works on verified sites, so it’s useless for backlinks

Best for: New or updated pages that matter most.

2. XML Sitemaps (Search Console Sitemaps Report)

Website: Google’s recrawl guide (submit in Search Console)

A sitemap is the method Google recommends for bulk indexing. It says to submit a sitemap when you have a large number of URLs, and it calls sitemaps an important way for Google to discover pages.

How to use it for indexing

1. Generate your sitemap. On WordPress, Yoast and Rank Math create one automatically, usually at yoursite.com/sitemap_index.xml. Other platforms such as Shopify and Wix also generate one for you.
2. Open the sitemap in your browser and check it. It should list only live, indexable, canonical URLs. Remove any 404s, redirects, or noindexed pages.
3. In Search Console, go to Indexing > Sitemaps.
4. Enter the sitemap URL and click Submit.
5. Check that the status shows “Success” and note how many URLs Google discovered.
6. Use the Pages report, filtered by that sitemap, to track how many of its URLs end up indexed.
7. Keep <lastmod> dates accurate so Google knows which pages have changed.

Features: Bulk URL discovery, change signals through <lastmod>, and support for image, video, news, and multilingual pages.

Pricing: Free.

Pros:

• Handles thousands of URLs at once
• You set it up once and it keeps working
• Essential for new sites and site migrations

Cons:

• Slower than a direct request
• A messy sitemap full of 404s, redirects, or non-canonical URLs wastes Googlebot’s time rather than helping

Best for: Every website, all the time.

3. Google Indexing API

Website: Indexing API quickstart
Quota details: Quota and pricing

This is Google’s fastest official indexing channel, but it has strict rules about what you can use it for.

How to use it for indexing

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project.
2. Find the Web Search Indexing API in the API library and enable it.
3. Create a service account, generate a key, and download it as a JSON file.
4. Copy the service account’s email address. In Search Console, open Settings > Users and permissions and add that email as an Owner.
5. Send POST requests to https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications:publish, with the URL and the type URL_UPDATED (for new or changed pages) or URL_DELETED (for removed pages).
6. Use the metadata endpoint to check whether Google received your notifications.

If you’re not a developer, a plugin like Rank Math’s (next section) can handle steps 5 and 6 for you.

Features: New and updated URL notifications, removal notifications, status checks, and batch requests.

Pricing: Free. The default quota is 200 publish requests per day per project, plus 180 read-only requests per minute.

Pros:

• The fastest official crawl channel Google offers
• Built for sites with many short-lived pages, where freshness matters

Cons:

• Google says it can only be used for pages with JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. Using it for blog posts or product pages goes against Google’s terms.
• Setup takes some technical knowledge
• Google can raise or lower your quota based on the quality of what you submit

Best for: Job boards and livestream sites.

4. Instant Indexing by Rank Math (WordPress Plugin)

Website: rankmath.com/wordpress/plugin/instant-indexing

This free indexing software connects WordPress to the Google Indexing API, so you don’t have to write any code.

How to use it for indexing

1. Complete steps 1–4 from the Indexing API section above: create the Cloud project, enable the API, create the service account, and add it as an Owner in Search Console.
2. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New, search for “Instant Indexing,” then install and activate it.
3. Go to Rank Math > Instant Indexing > Settings.
4. Paste the contents of your JSON key file into the Google API key field.
5. Choose which post types should be submitted automatically, such as posts or pages.
6. Publish or update a post. The plugin sends the crawl request to Google on its own.
7. To submit URLs by hand, use the Console tab. Paste URLs one per line and choose to update, remove, or check status.

Features: Automatic submission when you publish or update, manual bulk submission, removal requests, and status checks. It works alongside any SEO plugin.

Pricing: Completely free.

Pros:

• Takes the pain out of setting up the API
• Hands-off once it’s configured

Cons:

• It uses the same restricted API, and Rank Math’s own page repeats Google’s recommendation that the API is only for job posting and livestream sites
• Rank Math has said it won’t add this feature to the main plugin for exactly that reason
• It’s easy to confuse with the Instant Indexing module in the main Rank Math plugin. That module submits to IndexNow, which Bing and Yandex use but Google does not.

Best for: Job and livestream sites on WordPress.

5. Screaming Frog SEO Spider

Website: screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider

Screaming Frog doesn’t submit URLs. It’s diagnostic indexing software that shows you why Google is ignoring your pages, which often matters more than pushing them again.

How to use it for indexing problems

1. Download and install the SEO Spider on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
2. Paste your homepage URL into the bar at the top and click Start.
3. When the crawl finishes, open the Internal tab and filter by HTML. Check the Indexability column for pages marked “Non-Indexable” and read the reason given, such as noindex, canonicalized, or blocked by robots.txt.
4. Open the Response Codes tab to find 404s, server errors, and redirect chains.
5. Check the Content tab for duplicate and low-content pages. These are the most common causes of “Crawled – currently not indexed.”
6. Use Crawl Analysis to find orphan pages that have no internal links pointing to them.
7. Fix the Google indexing issues, then use Sitemaps > XML Sitemap to generate a clean sitemap and submit it to Search Console.
8. With a paid licence, connect Search Console under Configuration > API Access to pull Google’s index status into your crawl data.

Features: More than 300 SEO checks, broken link and redirect detection, duplicate content detection, and sitemap generation.

Pricing: Free for up to 500 URLs. A paid licence costs £199 a year (about $279) and removes the limit. Only annual billing is available.

Pros:

• Finds the real cause of indexing problems
• About $23 a month for unlimited crawling
• A standard tool among technical SEOs

Cons:

• There’s a learning curve
• The free version has no saved crawls, JavaScript rendering, or API integrations

Best for: Any site with more than a handful of pages that won’t index.

A Simple Indexing Workflow That Works

If you’re not sure where to start, follow these steps in order:

1. Check the status. Inspect the URL in Search Console. If it says “Crawled – currently not indexed,” go straight to step 4.
2. Make sure the page is discoverable. Add links to it from two or three of your stronger pages. Internal links are one of the most reliable signals you can give Google.
3. Submit it. Request indexing in Search Console and confirm the page is in your sitemap.
4. Diagnose. If it’s still not indexed after a week or two, crawl the site with Screaming Frog. Look for duplicates, thin content, noindex tags, and orphan pages.
5. Improve and resubmit. Strengthen the content, then request indexing once more.
6. Use paid URL indexers only for backlinks, since you can’t submit those through Search Console. Test with a small batch first.

FAQs

What are Google indexing tools?

Google indexing tools are services and software that help Google find and crawl your pages sooner. They include Google’s own free tools, such as Search Console and the Indexing API, WordPress plugins, and third-party URL indexers that submit pages you don’t own, like backlinks.

What is the best Google indexing tool?

For your own website, Google Search Console is the best Google indexing tool, because it’s free, safe, and shows you exactly why a page isn’t indexed. For backlinks, Rapid URL Indexer gives the best value per URL, and IndexMeNow has the most established refund process.

How long does Google take to index a new page?

There’s no set timeline. After an indexing request, one page might be crawled within a few hours or a few days. Large sitemaps take longer, depending on the size of the site. Established sites with good internal linking are usually crawled faster.

How many URLs can I submit in Search Console per day?

Google doesn’t publish the number. It only says there is a quota and that submitting the same URL again won’t help. Most SEOs report hitting the limit at around 10–15 URLs per property per day.

Are URL indexers and website indexers safe to use?

For your own site, you usually don’t need them, and Google’s free tools are the safer choice. For backlinks, the main risk is wasted money rather than a penalty. Pick services that refund unindexed URLs and start with a small test batch.

Can I use the Google Indexing API for blog posts?

Officially, no. Google restricts the API to pages with JobPosting or BroadcastEvent structured data. Using it for other content goes against Google’s rules, and Google can cut your quota if it judges your submissions to be low quality.

Does IndexNow work for Google?

No. IndexNow is used by Bing and Yandex. Google doesn’t participate, so IndexNow tools won’t help your Google indexing.

Why does Search Console say “Crawled – currently not indexed”?

Google visited the page and decided not to add it to the index, at least for now. The usual causes are thin or duplicate content, weak internal linking, or pages too similar to others on your site. Resubmitting rarely fixes it. Improving the page does.

Does faster indexing improve rankings?

Only indirectly. A page can’t rank until it’s indexed, so faster indexing means you start competing sooner. After that, rankings depend on content quality, links, and relevance.
