How accurate is IndexChecker's indexed vs. not indexed status?

It shows the Google indexing status at the time of the scan and saves the current and previous results so you can track changes. IndexChecker uses Google's official 'site:' operator to check real-time indexing status, providing accurate results at the moment of scanning.

Difference between Not Indexed, Deindexed, and Indexability?

Not Indexed = page is not currently in Google index; Deindexed = page was previously indexed but has been dropped; Indexability = technical eligibility for indexing (robots.txt, noindex tags, canonicals, etc.). IndexChecker shows all three statuses for comprehensive analysis.

Can I check without signing up? What's the free limit?

Yes, check up to 27 URLs for free without logging in. No credit card required. Perfect for testing the tool or checking a small set of important pages. Pro plan unlocks unlimited projects and 2,500 URLs per project.

How many URLs per project?

Up to 2,500 URLs per project. Create another project if you need more. Each project can have different schedules, labels, and indexing API integrations for organized monitoring.

Best way to upload URLs, paste, CSV, or sitemap?

Paste for small lists (under 50 URLs), CSV for exported lists or exported from Google Search Console, XML sitemap for full-site import. All methods support bulk processing and duplicate detection.

Does duplicate detection save credits?

Yes, duplicates are automatically detected, so you don't waste checks. IndexChecker identifies identical URLs and only checks once, saving your scanning credits for unique pages.

What schedule should I use for rechecks?

Daily for new/important pages, weekly for regular sites, monthly for stable pages. Use Auto Stop to halt checking once pages are indexed, or set continuous monitoring for deindexing alerts.

What does Auto Stop do?

It stops checking URLs once they're indexed to save scans. Turn it off if you want ongoing monitoring for potential deindexing. Perfect balance of efficiency and comprehensive tracking.

Do bulk indexing requests use credits?

Not when using supported third-party APIs; those requests don't deduct IndexChecker credits. IndexChecker handles the indexing submission while preserving your scanning budget.

Which third-party APIs can I connect to, and how do I add the key?

Connect services like LinksIndexer or Indexception by pasting your API key in the Indexing Requests section, keep it private. API keys are encrypted and never shared. Multiple API providers supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our backlink index checker.

A backlink index checker is a tool that scans Google's index to determine if your backlinks are being recognized and counted by the search engine. It helps you identify which of your backlinks are actually contributing to your SEO efforts and which ones aren't being indexed, allowing you to optimize your link-building strategy accordingly.

Backlink indexing is crucial for SEO because only indexed backlinks contribute to your website's authority and search rankings. If a backlink isn't indexed by Google, it's essentially invisible to the search engine and provides no SEO value. By ensuring your backlinks are indexed, you maximize the impact of your link-building efforts and improve your website's visibility in search results.

Our backlink index checker uses advanced algorithms to query Google's index directly, providing highly accurate results. While no tool can guarantee 100% accuracy due to the dynamic nature of Google's index, our tool consistently delivers over 95% accuracy, making it one of the most reliable solutions available for checking backlink indexing status.

Yes, you can use our tool to check the indexing status of competitor backlinks. This can provide valuable insights into their link-building strategy and help you identify opportunities for your own SEO efforts. Simply gather a list of your competitor's backlinks and upload them to our tool to see which ones are indexed by Google.

The frequency of checking backlink indexing depends on your SEO activities and goals. For most users, checking once a month is sufficient to track overall progress. However, if you're actively building new backlinks or running a campaign, weekly checks can help you quickly identify and address any indexing issues. Our Pro plan includes automated monitoring that can check your backlinks on a schedule you define.

No, you don't need Google Search Console access to use our backlink index checker. Our tool works independently to check the indexing status of any URL you provide. However, integrating with Search Console can provide additional insights into your overall SEO performance, so we recommend using both tools together for a comprehensive SEO strategy.
