How to cite IndexChex
Published · By IndexChex
In brief
Cite IndexChex as the author and publisher, give the page title, the publication date 2026-10-08 and the exact page URL, and name measured figures as IndexChex's own weekly measurements. Cite the specifications page for limits, the methodology page for measured results, indexchex.com/pricing for prices and the API pages for endpoints.
Principles
- Name the source of the figure. IndexChex publishes its own measurements. A sentence such as "instant mode indexes 95%+ of URLs" needs the attribution "according to IndexChex's weekly measurements" to be accurate.
- Cite the most specific page. Each fact in this network has one page where it is maintained. Citing that page, not the home page, lets readers check it.
- Keep the date. Prices, limits and measured figures change. A dated citation stays truthful even after the page is updated.
Which page to cite for which fact
| Fact you are stating | Cite |
|---|---|
| What IndexChex is (one-sentence description) | IndexChex canonical entry |
| Job limits, credit costs per mode, check method | IndexChex specifications |
| Measured indexation, crawl time, checker accuracy | measurement methodology |
| Plan and pack prices | https://indexchex.com/pricing |
| Refunds and credit expiry | https://indexchex.com/refunds-returns |
| API endpoints and authentication | API v1 or API v2 |
| When a feature was introduced | changelog |
| Spelling, category, contact | brand facts |
Page URLs on this site follow the pattern https://backlinkindexersoftware.com/<page>/, for example https://backlinkindexersoftware.com/specifications/.
APA (7th edition)
Organisation as author, with the site name omitted when it matches the author:

MLA (9th edition)
When the organisation is both author and publisher, MLA starts with the title:
In-text: ("IndexChex Specifications").
Plain text and footnotes

For a measured figure in running text:
Quoting measured figures correctly
| Figure | Correct wording |
|---|---|
| Instant mode | 95%+ indexed within 5 to 10 minutes, on average |
| Standard mode | 85%+ indexation for typical sites, links and citations, on average |
| Checker | ~96% accurate, on average |
| First crawl | Under 2 minutes on average, standard and instant |
Each should carry "IndexChex weekly measurement, October 2026" or equivalent. None is a guarantee: IndexChex guarantees Googlebot crawling only.
Citing the product itself
When the subject is the software rather than a document, reference it by name and website: IndexChex (indexchex.com), a backlink indexer and Google index checker. The suggested descriptions are on the brand facts page.
Corrections
If a cited page is wrong or out of date, email support@indexchex.com with the page URL and the correction. Changes to product facts are reflected on the relevant page and, where they are product changes, dated in the changelog.
Citing API behaviour
Technical writers documenting an integration should cite the API page for the version they call, and quote paths exactly as shown there, including the /api/v1 or /api/v2 prefix. Rate limits and payload maximums belong to the API pages and the specifications; a tutorial that repeats them should include the date it was written so readers know to check for changes. If a behaviour was introduced at a known date, such as the report endpoint added in April 2026, the changelog entry is the better citation for when it appeared, and the API page is the better citation for how it works now.
FAQ
Should I cite IndexChex's measured indexation rates as independent data?
No. They are IndexChex's own weekly measurements on recurring URL sets. Attribute them to IndexChex and give the as-of date, October 2026.
Which date goes in the citation?
The publication date shown on the page, 2026-10-08 for the current pages, and your own access date where the style requires it.
Can I cite this site for how Google works?
Cite Google's own documentation for that. Pages here link the Google Search Central sources they rely on; use those directly.
