Google Indexing API
Submit URLs directly to Google — skip the crawl queue
Connect your Google service account once and submit any URL directly to Google's indexing pipeline. No more waiting weeks for Googlebot to discover updated pages — push updates instantly and track submission status per URL.
How It Works
From setup to insight in minutes
Create a Google service account
Enable the Web Search Indexing API in Google Cloud Console, create a service account, and download the JSON key file. No IAM role is required — access is granted via Search Console.
Add as Search Console owner
Paste the service account email into Google Search Console → Settings → Users and Permissions and grant Owner access. This is what authorises the API to submit URLs for your property.
Validate and save credentials
Paste the JSON key file contents into AI SEO Scanner. We perform a live token exchange with Google before saving — confirming the credentials work before you submit a single URL.
Submit URLs and track status
Submit individual URLs or bulk selections directly from audit results. Every submission is logged with its response code, and failed submissions can be retried with one click.

Why It Matters
The business case for Google Indexing API
Skip the crawl queue entirely
Standard Googlebot crawls take days or weeks. The Indexing API delivers your update to Google's indexing pipeline within minutes — critical for time-sensitive content like news, events, or product updates.
Credential validation before you rely on it
Most integrations fail silently. We validate your service account with a live token exchange the moment you save credentials — so you know the connection works before you depend on it.
Full submission history and quota visibility
Track every submitted URL with its status and response code. Monitor your daily quota (200 URLs/day) and see exactly how many submissions remain before hitting Google's limit.
Complete URL lifecycle management
Submit URL_UPDATED notifications when content changes, and URL_DELETED when pages are removed. One-click resubmit handles transient failures without manual intervention.
