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 page rank on Google, it'll just let Google know about the existence of your pages.
2. This script uses Google Indexing API. We do not recommend using this script on spam/low-quality content.

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. 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.
2. Make sure you enable both Google Search Console API and Web Search Indexing API on your Google Project ➤ API Services ➤ Enabled API & Services.
3. 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

Installation

Using CLI

Install the cli globally on your machine.

npm i -g google-indexing-script

Using the repository

Clone the repository to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/goenning/google-indexing-script.git
cd google-indexing-script

Install and build the project.

npm install
npm run build
npm i -g .

Note

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.

Usage

With service_account.json (recommended)

Create a .gis directory in your home folder and move the service_account.json file there.

mkdir ~/.gis
mv service_account.json ~/.gis

Run the script with the domain or url you want to index.

gis <domain or url>
# example
gis seogets.com

Here are some other ways to run the script:

# custom path to service_account.json
gis seogets.com --path /path/to/service_account.json
# long version command
google-indexing-script seogets.com
# cloned repository
npm run index seogets.com

With environment variables

Open service_account.json and copy the client_email and private_key values.

Run the script with the domain or url you want to index.

GIS_CLIENT_EMAIL=your-client-email GIS_PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key gis seogets.com

With arguments (not recommended)

Open service_account.json and copy the client_email and private_key values.

Once you have the values, run the script with the domain or url you want to index, the client email and the private key.

gis seogets.com --client-email your-client-email --private-key your-private-key

As a npm module

You can also use the script as a npm module in your own project.

npm i google-indexing-script

import { index } from 'google-indexing-script'
import serviceAccount from './service_account.json'

index('seogets.com', {
  client_email: serviceAccount.client_email,
  private_key: serviceAccount.private_key
})
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

Read the API documentation for more details.

Here's an example of what you should expect:

Important

• 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.

🔀 Alternative

If you prefer a hands-free, and less technical solution, you can use a SaaS platform like TagParrot.
