How Google Indexing API Helped Solve Our Website's Poor Indexing Issue
One of our clients encountered a common issue faced by international websites — their pages weren’t being properly indexed by Google. As a result, SEO-optimized articles weren’t reaching the target audience and were missing out on valuable traffic. We conducted a technical audit, identified the underlying issues, and helped the site recover its rankings and visibility.
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 apply accelerated indexing for all new and updated pages. The standard process can take time — and during that delay, competitors can easily copy your content. As a result, Google may identify their site as the original source instead of yours.
- New pages. Immediately after publishing, we use the Google Indexing API to speed up indexing and start seeing traffic results faster.
- Updated pages. For existing pages, accelerated indexing allows us to pinpoint when Google reindexed the content and measure whether rankings improved after the update.
