FAQ

Which indexing tools still work in 2026?

Tools that use what Google and Bing give site owners keep working: Request Indexing in your own Search Console for Google, and IndexNow for Bing and the other IndexNow engines. TagParrot and INDEXED.pro, which relied on the Indexing API, have closed.

Which indexing tools have a lifetime deal?

IndexMachine (from $12.50 once with code BETA50 at checkout), IndexRusher ($199 for 5 domains) and AIKTP (lifetime plans from $100, as part of its AI writing suite). Most other tools bill monthly or sell credits.

What is the cheapest way to get my pages indexed?

By hand in Google Search Console, which is free. Automated, IndexMachine starts at $12.50 once for one site and 1,000 pages, and IndexGuru's free plan covers one URL a day.

What is the difference between a backlink indexer and an own-site indexer?

Backlink indexers take any URL, including pages on sites you don't own, and charge per URL or per credit. Own-site indexers such as IndexMachine work in your own Search Console for your verified sites, at a flat price.

The pay-once alternative to all of them
