I've been struggling to get my tier 2 and tier 3 backlinks indexed lately. Google's Indexing API works great for my own sites, but what are you guys using for external links? Are third-party indexers still worth the money?
 
Omegaindexer and speedyindexer works but you don't wanna add tier 2 or 3 as it's expansive.
You can add few of them at a time on the home page of a site you own and send the home page to reindex on GSC.
Old trick but may work.
 
dont index tier 2 and 3 at all, thats money for nothing. the only links that need to be in the index are the tier 1 ones and the way i get those in is the tier 2 itself. 30 or 40 gsa links at a tier 1 page and its crawled in a day or two, same every time. what usually stalls it is dead targets, half a scraped list is gone by the time you run it so the links never exist to get crawled. a list somebody verified this month fixes that more than any indexer did for me. still use one on the few tier 1 links that stay stubborn but thats maybe 5 percent

it will always come down to money - the more you have
the wider your options

Omegaindexer is a good option but it's expensive.
 
Before spending money on an indexer, I'd diagnose why the page isn't indexed — because indexing is really a two-step problem: discovery, then inclusion. Paid indexers only help with step one, and only sometimes.

1. Confirm the page is crawlable and the link exists in a form Google can actually see. Fetch the page and check view-source: JS-injected links, pages behind robots blocks or logins, and links tagged nofollow/UGC/sponsored will never index no matter what tool you throw at them. This alone explains a surprising share of "indexing" failures.

2. Give Google a free crawl path first. The most reliable cheap method is the one IM Dude mentioned: link to the unindexed page from an indexed page you control, then request indexing of your own page in Search Console. An RSS feed or a simple HTML sitemap page on your own property works the same way. This tends to outperform paid ping services because it gives Google a genuine discovery signal instead of noise.

3. Only pay for tier 1s. CaptchaSolver8 makes the right point — indexing tier 2 and 3 at scale is usually money for nothing. Crawled pages can pass value even before the index entry shows up; the index entry matters most for links pointing directly at your money pages.

One caution: Google's Indexing API officially supports only job posting and broadcast event pages. Using it to force-index backlink pages is against their documented policy, and I've seen API access get pulled for it. For pages you own, use the URL Inspection tool in Search Console instead.

My order of operations: verify crawlability first, then a free crawl path from your own indexed pages, and only then a paid indexer for the stubborn tier-1 links.

Third-party indexers can be hit or miss. I’d focus on link quality and crawlable pages first, since indexing tools can’t guarantee results.
