Question about Google Crawl

#1107835
  • Hmm, just wondering, can it be done without using Google Cloud –> as this page (https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/) mentions it, but notice once the free trial ends, I’ll have to pay up. So, I’m wondering if it can be done without it. As I’m watching the Google Search console for page index, it looks like the last update was on 20th September, and only 220 out of 1849 have been done… which makes me wonder how long it will take for Google to complete everything? Also, want to check I have set it up correctly?

    Also, I have further questions to ask:
    1) Wondering when Google will re-update the page that has already been indexed, with the contents having been updated, so it doesn’t show the old version.
    2) How long does Google see the correct URL link, not a wrong link, so that it first discovers the URL link? As I know, a new sitemap was submitted on 20th September.
    3) When I create new products/pages, do I need to resubmit the new sitemap to Google Search Console, or does it already see it and schedule it when approve?

    So far, I’m happy with the Rank Maths free version a lot, with all the information it gives me to get the site on the SEO side, and I’m going through the webpage to bring it in line with the correct version.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issues you’re facing regarding Google crawling and indexing. Thank you for raising your concerns.

    To address your questions:

    1. Using Google Cloud: The Google Indexing API is indeed a feature that can be integrated with Google Cloud, but it is not the only way to ensure your pages are indexed. You can still rely on standard methods such as submitting your sitemap through Google Search Console and ensuring your content is high-quality and relevant to encourage Google to crawl your site more frequently.

    2. Indexing Timeline: Google does not have a fixed schedule for re-indexing pages. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for Google to re-crawl and update indexed content, depending on various factors like your site’s authority, the frequency of updates, and the overall crawl budget assigned to your site. If you have submitted a new sitemap, it should help Google discover new or updated content more efficiently.

    3. Correct URL Discovery: When you submit a new sitemap, Google will typically start discovering URLs from that sitemap relatively quickly, but again, the exact timing can vary. It’s important to ensure that there are no issues preventing Google from accessing your URLs, such as incorrect robots.txt settings or noindex tags.
