How the index checker works
- Paste URLs or read a sitemap. Up to 5,000 URLs at once, from a list, a CSV, or the sitemap your robots.txt names. You see the exact count and price before anything runs.
- bklink searches Google for each exact URL — the same
site:search you would type, run live, not read from a stored index. - Every page lands in one group. In Google; Likely — it loads, has 800+ 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; Can't be indexed — a certain no, with the reason.
- Open a group to see its URLs, each with its HTTP status, word count, how many pages Google lists for its site, and a link that repeats the Google search yourself.
A bulk index checker is the same tool at scale: a whole sitemap runs in the background and you are emailed when it finishes.
The checks before you pay to index
An indexer cannot override what a page tells Google about itself. bklink reads every page first and refuses, free, any that is:
- Gone
- the page answers 404 or 410, or reads as a not-found page
- Unreachable
- no answer, twice, or a 5xx error; or 401/403, which turns Googlebot away too
- Redirects
- the URL redirects to a different page; Google indexes the destination, so submit that
- Says noindex
- a noindex robots tag or an X-Robots-Tag: noindex header
- Canonical elsewhere
- the page names another URL as its canonical; Google indexes that one
- Blocked by robots.txt
- Googlebot is not allowed to fetch it
- Too thin
- fewer than 300 words; Google rarely indexes a page that short
- Site not in Google
- Google lists no page of the whole site, so one page rarely gets in
Instant indexing (live)
Send a group — or a pasted list — and each URL goes to Google's indexing pipeline, usually within minutes. bklink sends a page at its final address, so a URL that only adds a trailing slash is sent as the page Google will keep. bklink searches Google for each URL 10 minutes after sending, and again at 24 hours for any not yet listed, and marks it Indexed as soon as Google lists it.
Google decides what it indexes and when, so indexing is not guaranteed. A sent URL is not refunded; a batch the indexer does not accept is not charged. A newly indexed page can show in some countries before others, so use the link beside each URL to search for it yourself.
It works the same as a URL indexer for your own pages and a link indexer for backlinks: you do not need to own the site a link sits on.
Price
Index check: $0.01 a URL. Instant indexing: $0.15 a URL. Pages refused before sending cost nothing. There is no subscription: top up a prepaid wallet from $10 and pay per action; unspent balance is refundable under the refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a page is indexed by Google?
Search Google for site: followed by the page's full address, without https://. If the page itself is listed, it is indexed. bklink runs that search for every URL you paste or every page in your sitemap, up to 5,000 at a time, for $0.01 a URL, and puts a link beside each result so you can repeat the search yourself.
Is instant indexing guaranteed?
No. Instant indexing sends each URL to Google's indexing pipeline within minutes, and Google alone decides whether and when to index a page. bklink refuses pages that cannot be indexed as they stand before it charges, so you only pay to send pages that can be; once a URL is sent, the charge is not refunded.
What does "Crawled - currently not indexed" mean?
It is a status in Search Console's Page indexing report. Google's words: "The page was crawled by Google but not indexed. It may or may not be indexed in the future; no need to resubmit this URL for crawling." It usually means Google read the page and did not think it worth a place in the index yet, which is why bklink sorts pages by their odds before you send them.
What does "Discovered - currently not indexed" mean?
Google's words: "The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URL but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl." Google knows the address but has not read the page.
Can I index backlinks with a link indexer?
Yes: a backlink is a page on someone else's site, and you can check it and send it like any other URL. You do not need to own the site. The same checks apply: a page that is gone, redirects, says noindex or is too thin is refused before you pay.
Can I get Google to index my site for free?
For pages on a site you own, yes: submit a sitemap in Google Search Console, and use the URL Inspection tool to request indexing of a page you have changed. That is worth doing first. A paid indexer is for pages you do not own (backlinks), for many URLs at once, or for when the free route is slow.
Why does my page show in Google but bklink says it is not listed yet?
A newly indexed page can appear in Google in some countries before others. bklink's check searches Google as it answers in the United States, so in the first hours a page you can already see from elsewhere may read "not listed". bklink checks at 10 minutes and again at 24 hours; check each URL yourself with the link beside it after about 10 minutes.
