Indexing issues
Find pages Google isn’t indexing, understand why, and fix them. Works for single URLs, batches, and site-wide sweeps.
Replace yourdomain.com with your GSC property URL.
Check a specific page
Section titled “Check a specific page”Is yourdomain.com/your-page being indexed by Google? When was it last crawled?
The assistant calls inspect_url and returns Google’s indexing verdict, last crawl timestamp, crawl-allowed status and canonical evidence.
Check multiple pages at once
Section titled “Check multiple pages at once”Check if these pages are indexed: yourdomain.com/page-1, yourdomain.com/page-2, yourdomain.com/page-3, yourdomain.com/page-4, yourdomain.com/page-5
The assistant calls batch_url_inspection for the bounded URL set and returns the observed status of each inspected URL.
Bounded indexing sweep
Section titled “Bounded indexing sweep”Run an indexing audit across my 10 highest-traffic pages on yourdomain.com. Which inspected URLs have issues, and what exact verdict did Google return?
The assistant calls check_indexing_issues on the bounded high-traffic sample and groups the returned verdicts without generalizing them to the whole site.
Sitemap coverage audit
Section titled “Sitemap coverage audit”List the submitted sitemaps for yourdomain.com, then audit the main sitemap. Which declared URLs have no Search Analytics page row in the last 90 days and should be sampled with URL Inspection?
The assistant calls sitemap_audit to compare declared URLs with 90 days of Search Analytics page rows. URLs without search data are candidates for URL Inspection, not evidence that they are absent from the index.
Follow-up
Section titled “Follow-up”Inspect the sampled URLs that have no Search Analytics row. Group only the returned URL Inspection verdicts by reason and keep uninspected URLs as unknown.
Submit eligible pages through Google’s Indexing API
Section titled “Submit eligible pages through Google’s Indexing API”Google restricts the Indexing API to pages containing JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject. For other page types, use URL Inspection for diagnosis and normal discovery paths such as sitemaps and internal links. See Google’s official policy.
This page contains eligible JobPosting or livestream BroadcastEvent markup: yourdomain.com/new-page. Inspect it, verify eligibility, state the exact
submit_urlaction, and wait for my explicit confirmation before submitting.
After confirmation, the assistant can call submit_url once. The returned status proves notification receipt, not crawl or indexation.
These three pages contain eligible markup: yourdomain.com/new-page-1, yourdomain.com/new-page-2, yourdomain.com/new-page-3. Inspect and validate each page, report the exact
submit_batchtarget set, and wait for my explicit confirmation.
After confirmation, submit_batch can send the bounded eligible set in one HTTP batch. Check the pages again later with URL Inspection instead of treating acceptance as indexation.
