Prerequisites
- An active GetIndexedNow account

- Basic familiarity with URLs and sitemaps
Detailed Steps
- Open your GetIndexedNow dashboard and verify your project/website is selected.
- Navigate to the relevant module for this task (Dashboard, URL Submitter, Sitemaps, or API).
- Complete the input fields carefully—double‑check domain, protocol (http/https), and trailing slashes.

- Review status badges, logs, or activity feed to confirm successful processing.
- If you see warnings, use the Troubleshooting section below to resolve them immediately.

Best Practices
- Keep URLs clean, canonical, and accessible (no login walls for public pages).
- Use concise, descriptive titles and meta descriptions for faster search understanding.
- Batch similar actions (e.g., submit a set of new pages together).
- Avoid resubmitting unchanged URLs too frequently to prevent throttling.
- Maintain a changelog of edits and submissions to support audits.
Troubleshooting
- 403/401 errors: The destination blocks automated access—confirm robots and firewall settings.
- 404/410 errors: The URL doesn’t exist—fix the path or update internal links.
- 5xx errors: The site/server is unstable—retry after stabilizing hosting or CDN settings.
- Mixed content: Ensure all assets load over HTTPS to avoid blocked indexing.
- Slow responses: Optimize server performance or use a CDN to reduce TTFB.
FAQs
- How long does indexing take? It varies by search engine, crawl budget, and site authority. Many see results within hours to days.
- Can I undo a submission? No, but you can update or remove the page and submit changes.
- Is there a daily limit? Rate limits may apply—batch and prioritize important URLs.
