Index Faster with Google Cloud APIs

[Tucking4561]

Hello BHW,

I recently released 1000 pages over 1 month. Unfortunately, Google did not index them all, because they were very niche pages.

I could have gone through and manually tried to index them through Search Console UI. But I saw that Search Console was reporting the pages and Not Indexed in the Coverage report and Indexed when inspected.

Using GoogleAPIs NPM package, I decided to forcefully tell Google about my pages. Specifically this was my process:

1. Create a Google Cloud Project
2. Export "Not Indexed" URL list from Google Search Console
3. Use Search Console API to see if the page was indexed: https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v1/urlInspection.index/inspect
4. If the page was not indexed, submit it to the Indexing API: https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/using-api#url

Google played hard to get! Bing indexed me immediately, hahaha.

You can just use rankmath as well same api, similar steps. It helped on some sites I tested but others got indexed then de indexed as it is supposed to be used for pages that need to be indexed fast and then removed from index. Which they say at the top of that url" API can only be used to crawl pages with either https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/job-posting or https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/video#broadcast-event. For websites with many short-lived pages like job postings or livestream videos, the Indexing API keeps content fresh in search results because it allows updates to be pushed individually."

Who knows though maybe it works for some people and not the same way for others?

I am not on WP, so I can't use RankMath.

It has been 3 months, and I am not deindexed, so I believe this will stick.

You are right, it may be different ona case by case basis.

So how long did it take for google to index them via API ?

I wrote about this a few months ago. And the code for indexing is attached.

This is very simply if you have basic coding knowledge. BigPBN also shared this guide with code for the indexing: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/fast-indexing-of-200-pages-via-google-api.1374768/

I wish I had access to this before!

About 4 days after I submitted the requests Google Search Console reported the pages as indexed.

Nice, i will try, but i don't have Google Cloud

3. Use Search Console API to see if the page was indexed: https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v1/urlInspection.index/inspect
4. If the page was not indexed, submit it to the Indexing API: https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/using-api#url

How do you do these steps? use any tool? thanks

Google Cloud for these tools are free.

I used Node JS running locally on my PC with this library: github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client

The rankmath trick is not working anymore, so you can comment on some high authority blogs for Google indexing, it may help.

 

[Ingroval]

Nice share, but Rankmath is good for me.

I use RankMath to do this stuff. Sometimes pages indexed then deindexed but sometimes not.
