How Google Indexing API Helped Solve Our Website's Poor Indexing Issue

Recently, a client approached us with an issue — their website was being poorly indexed by Google. This was a serious problem because the written content was not reaching users.
— Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Google Indexing API helped solve the problem in a relatively short period of time.

Previously, the client was submitting pages for indexing through Google Search Console one by one, taking 5 to 10 minutes per page. This was not only slow but also inefficient (not all pages were indexed immediately).

Using the Google Indexing API, we were able to resubmit up to 100 pages per iteration and up to 200 pages per day for a single project! This provided a significant boost, and many of the site's pages were indexed by Google, improving visibility and attracting more traffic. Google Indexing API is a great solution for poor indexing issues.

Effective for both new and old websites

New websites do not always get indexed quickly and completely. Sometimes only the homepage and category pages are indexed. The site may even be optimized for Google, but something may still go wrong. Poor initial indexing does not equal a poor site.

Older websites are less likely to have this problem. However, some pages may not be indexed. These could be high-quality pages: non-spammy, search-optimized. We often have cases where we resubmit such pages through the Google Indexing API, and they quickly rank high and drive traffic. It also helps expedite the removal of 404 pages from search or the consolidation of addresses through a 301 redirect.

Quick Implementation of New and Updated Pages

We use accelerated indexing for all new and updated pages. We understand that regular indexing takes time. It is not uncommon for content to be stolen from the site before it is indexed, so Google does not consider you the original source.

  • New pages: After adding a new page to the site or updating an old one, we use the Google Indexing API for quick indexing. This allows us to see the positions and traffic of the new page faster.
  • Old pages: In the case of an updated page, it helps us understand when the new version is indexed and determine if the update improved rankings.
