    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Instant Indexing feature. The error message you are seeing indicates that Google is unable to find the requested URL, which is returning a 404 error. This typically means that the page does not exist or has been moved without a proper redirect.

    Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

    1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you are trying to index is correct and that the page is live on your website. You can do this by visiting the URL directly in your browser.

    2. Verify Page Status: If the page has been deleted or moved, consider setting up a 301 redirect to guide users and search engines to the new location of the content.

    3. Use Google Search Console: You can use the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console to check the status of the URL. This tool will provide more detailed information about why Google cannot access the page.

    4. Check for Noindex Tags: Make sure that there are no noindex tags on the page that would prevent it from being indexed by Google.

    5. Review Server Logs: If you have access to your server logs, check for any errors that might indicate why Google is receiving a 404 error when trying to access the page.

    If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we’re here to help!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    If you are getting the 404 error, it means that the URLs are not in the Indexing API. Since the API is only for two types of websites (job postings and live streams) and goes through rigorous spam detection due to recent changes in Google, it’s much more difficult to get URLs into the API.

    So, unless you have one of the website types we mentioned and the content is unique, you won’t be able to use this feature consistently, and you shouldn’t, as the API was never intended for it, as mentioned in our own documentation.

    The bottom line is that our submissions to the API are working fine, but if the pages are not accepted into it because of guidelines issues, there’s nothing we can do.

    Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
