Google index checker

Check whether Google has indexed pages, from a list or a sitemap, and see the odds for the ones it has not.

The index checker asks Google about every page you give it and sorts the result.

How it works

  1. Paste URLs or read a sitemap. Up to 5,000 URLs at once: a list, a CSV, or the sitemap your robots.txt names. The exact count and price are shown before anything runs.
  2. A live search per URL. bklink searches Google for each exact address, the same site: search you would type, run live rather than read from a stored index.
  3. Every page lands in one group:
    • In Google: listed at its own address.
    • Likely: it loads, has 800 or more words, and its site is in Google.
    • Possible: it loads and its site is in Google, but it is shorter or reads as a templated listing.
    • Unlikely to be indexed, with the reason.
  4. Open a group to see each URL's HTTP status, word count, how many pages Google lists for its site, and a link that repeats the Google search yourself.

Large checks run in the background, and you are emailed when they finish.

Reasons a page is unlikely to be indexed

The checker reads every page first and names, free, the ones that cannot be indexed as they stand: gone (404 or 410), unreachable, redirects elsewhere, says noindex, names another canonical, blocked by robots.txt, too thin, or on a site Google lists nothing of.

Price

$0.01 a URL, charged before the check runs. Nothing is charged while checks are paused. To send pages to Google, see the link indexer.
