Script to get your site indexed on Google in less than 48 hours

Google Indexing Script

Use this script to get your entire site indexed on Google in less than 48 hours. No tricks, no hacks, just a simple script and a Google API.

You can read more about the motivation behind it and how it works in this blog post https://seogets.com/blog/google-indexing-script

Important

1. Indexing != Ranking. This will not help your content/page rank on Google, it'll just let Google know about the existence of all your pages.
2. This script uses Google Indexing API. While there is no absolute guarantee that every page will be indexed, recent tests conducted in December 2023 have shown a notably high success rate.

Requirements

• Install Node.js
• An account on Google Search Console with the verified sites you want to index
• An account on Google Cloud

Preparation

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Follow this guide from Google. By the end of it, you should have a project on Google Cloud with the Indexing API enabled, a service account with the Owner permission on your sites.
3. Make sure you enable both Google Search Console API and Web Search Indexing API on your Google Project ➤ API Services ➤ Enabled API & Services.
4. Download the JSON file with the credentials of your service account and save it in the same folder as the script. The file should be named service_account.json

Usage

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where you cloned the repository
2. Ensure you are using an up-to-date Node.js version, with a preference for v20 or later. Check your current version with node -v.
3. Run npm install to install the dependencies
4. Run npm run index <domain or url> to index all the pages of your site.

• If your site is a Domain Property on GSC, then run it like npm run index seogets.com
• Otherwise, if it's a URL Prefix property, then run it like npm run index https://seogets.com
• When in doubt try both 😀

Here's an example of what you should expect:

Important Notes:

• Your site must have 1 or more sitemaps submitted to Google Search Console. Otherwise, the script will not be able to find the pages to index.
• You can run the script as many times as you want. It will only index the pages that are not already indexed.
• Sites with a large number of pages might take a while to index, be patient.
