Google Instant Indexing – Not Working

    I have followed all the steps outlined in your article:

    https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/?utm_source=Instant+Indexing+Plugin&utm_medium=Setup+Guide+Button&utm_campaign=WP

    Culminating in entering the Google JSON Key generated as you will find on logging (login link provided in Sensitive Data)

    I have proceeded to submit a number of URLs to Google and received a “Success” message and also checked the raw response (again provided in Sensitive Data).

    However, after waiting a few minutes and even several hours and checking with Google Search Console, the pages have not been crawled by Google.

    I’ve checked the Google Cloud Platform and can see the Web Search Indexing API has fired and as mentioned I have received success messages, however no “instant indexing” or crawling occurs – even withing over 4 hours!

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with Google Instant Indexing not working as expected despite following all the outlined steps. It seems like you have taken the necessary actions, including submitting URLs to Google and receiving success messages but not seeing the pages being crawled by Google even after waiting for a few minutes or hours.

    In this case, since you have already followed the steps correctly and checked the Google Cloud Platform, but the instant indexing or crawling is not happening as expected, I recommend reaching out to our support team directly for further assistance. You can contact our support team by clicking here or using the available buttons to assign the ticket to a human agent.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    From the details you provided, it appears that the instant indexing is working. Please note that the Instant Indexing API only allows you to submit the URL to Google and it’s up to Google if they index it right away or not. It depends on several factors and domain authority is one of them.

    Some good websites take days to get their new content indexed despite submitting it via instant indexing.

    Just keep on publishing high-quality content frequently and build good back links to improve indexing rate from Google.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi, I appreciate the input, but even days later it hasn’t worked… This includes a couple of specific removals requested via your plugin. The output shows Success, but days later nothing has happened. I jump into Google Search Console, do the same thing and it generally happens at least the same day.

    Hello,

    Could you please provide us with the specific URLs you’re trying to index or remove? Please also submit them to your GSC’s URL inspection tool and share a screenshot of the report here.

    This will help us investigate the issue more effectively. Looking forward to assisting you further.
