They Admit It: "Google Suggests Using the Indexing API Mainly for Transient Content"
INDEXED.pro's own FAQ says it clearly: they use Google's Indexing API, which Google designed for job postings and live broadcasts. They even acknowledge this limitation - "Google suggests using the Indexing API mainly for transient content, such as JobPostings and BroadcastEvents."
Their defense? "It will gladly handle any page type." Sure - for now. That's exactly what TagParrot said before Google shut them down. That's what IndexGuru said before their method stopped working. This is an API being used outside its intended purpose.
On top of that, INDEXED.pro uses "their own crawlers" - custom bots that crawl your site. More third-party bots hitting your pages means more noise for Google to filter through, and a higher chance of triggering spam detection.
The pattern is clear: Tools that rely on the Indexing API outside its intended use case are operating on borrowed time. Google has been systematically restricting access since 2024.
IndexMachine: No Loopholes, No Custom Crawlers
We don't use the Google Indexing API. We don't send custom crawlers to your site. Our approach is simple: automate the official channels that Google and Bing want you to use.
No grey areas. No "it works until Google cracks down." Just clean automation through legitimate submission processes. Your site stays safe, and your indexing workflow doesn't depend on a loophole that could close tomorrow.
Why Pay Monthly for a Risky Method?
INDEXED.pro charges €8/month for their Startup plan. That's €96/year (~$105). Their Growth plan? €24/month - that's €288/year (~$315). And their Ninja plan hits €79/month - nearly $1,000/year.
For a tool that uses the same Indexing API loophole that's been getting shut down across the industry. You're paying monthly for a ticking time bomb.

"Our Own Crawlers" = Bots Hitting Your Site
INDEXED.pro proudly mentions using "their own crawlers" alongside Google APIs. What does that actually mean? Third-party bots are crawling your site, generating artificial signals to push Google to visit your pages.
This adds unnecessary load to your server and creates crawl patterns that sophisticated spam detection systems can identify. Google's SpamBrain AI is specifically designed to detect these kinds of artificial signals.
IndexMachine never touches your site. We work entirely through official webmaster APIs - the same tools you'd use manually in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
