Google Indexing Monitor Workflow

Steps

1. 1

   URL List Generation

   Pull all published URLs from sitemap.xml or database. Compare against last known indexed list to identify new pages needing monitoring.

   Source: Parse sitemap.xml\nFrequency: Daily at 6am\nStore: PostgreSQL url_index_status table

2. 2

   Index Status Check

   For each URL, check Google indexing via site: operator search or Search Console API. Record: indexed/not-indexed/deindexed status.

   Pro tip: Rate limit to 1 request per 2 seconds to avoid blocks. Batch 50 URLs per run.

3. 3

   Change Detection

   Compare current status against previous check. Flag: newly indexed (good), newly deindexed (urgent), still not indexed after 7 days (warning).

4. 4

   Alert on Issues

   If deindexed pages detected: send urgent email/Slack alert with affected URLs. If pages not indexed after 14 days: suggest resubmission.

   Urgent: Deindexed page that was previously indexed\nWarning: New page not indexed after 7 days\nInfo: New page indexed (celebration)

5. 5

   Auto-Resubmit

   For pages not indexed after 7 days, automatically resubmit via IndexNow API and Google Search Console URL Inspection API.
