Page indexing in Google: free submission and Turbo for any site
The account gained an Indexing section: it collects your pages, shows what Google cannot see, and offers two ways to submit them — free through Search Console, or paid with no queue and a refund for whatever never makes it into the index.
A new Indexing section is now live in your account. It shows which pages of your site Google cannot see, and gives you two ways to fix that — one free, one paid.
The logic is simple. A page outside the index takes no part in search at all: nobody will land on it from any query, no matter how many links you point at it. Until now you could only check this by hand, one URL at a time. Now it is one button for the whole site.
First, see the picture
The "Collect and check" button pulls your pages from the sitemap and from your Search Console, then checks every one of them. You get a breakdown: what is indexed, what is not, what has not been checked yet. For a site with a couple of thousand pages this takes seconds, not days.
The check is free and does not touch your balance. What to do about the pages Google cannot see is then your call.
- For sites connected to your own Search Console
- Up to 500 pages per request
- Runs as a queue with a daily cap: 500 pages take about 5 days
- The queue is shared and fair — a large batch does not block everyone else
- No Search Console connection required
- No queue, no daily caps
- From $0.49 down to $0.15 per page — the larger the batch, the cheaper
- First reports from day 4, the final one on day 14
You pay for the result only. On day 14 we re-check every page in the order and refund the ones that never made it into the index. The refund lands on your balance automatically — you do not have to ask for it.
Why two options rather than one
The free route goes through Google's official channel and requires the site to be verified in your Search Console. If the site is yours and already connected, this is the better option: there is nothing to pay for.
Its one limitation is throughput. The channel is finite, so requests move through a queue with a daily cap, and a large site will be spread over several days. The queue is built to be fair: the worker handles each job in short slices and then passes the baton on, so an order of several thousand pages will not stall everyone behind it.
Turbo is for when the site is not connected to Search Console, when you have no access to it at all, or when you need the result without the wait. It also removes the cap on volume.
Indexing shows up in other sections too
Project links now have an "Index" column, so you can see at a glance which of your placements are already in search. If Google cannot see some of the pages, a banner above the list reports how many. The audit report gained a matching block that runs the same check across every page it found.
This was one of the most frequent requests: "show us what actually made it into the index, not how many links you placed". Now we do.
Checking pages is free, with no limit on how many.
