IndexChex URL indexer: standard, instant and drip feed

What the URL indexer does

The URL indexer is the submission half of IndexChex. A user supplies a list of URLs, often backlinks on sites they do not control, and the service generates crawl signals that lead Googlebot to fetch each one. It does not need Search Console access to the linking site, which is the usual obstacle when a link sits on someone else's domain.

IndexChex does not use Google's Indexing API. Google states that API may only be used for pages with JobPosting or livestream BroadcastEvent markup, so it is not a route for ordinary articles or link placements. IndexChex also states that its submission methods do not connect URLs to spam networks or link pyramids.

The three modes compared

The exact per-URL dollar cost depends on how credits were bought; the pricing page converts each plan and pack into a per-URL figure.

Standard

Standard mode is the default. It is priced for volume work such as a month of guest posts, citation listings or press pickups. The product documentation describes this timeline for a standard job: Googlebot crawls within minutes, pages start indexing 5 to 12 hours after the job completes, most URLs that will be indexed appear 24 to 48 hours after the crawl, and indexing is typically as complete as it will get by day 5.

Instant

Instant mode exists for URLs where hours matter: a launch page, a time-sensitive news pickup, a link that has to show in search before a client call. It costs 60 credits per URL and caps jobs at 1,000 URLs, which keeps it from being used as a cheap substitute for standard volume.

Drip feed

Drip feed takes a standard job and releases it over a chosen period of 1 to 30 days, up to 25,000 URLs. It is used where a sudden burst of crawl activity across many new links is unwanted, or simply to pace a large backlog. Because the job finishes on a date the user chooses, a fixed re-check offset makes little sense; drip jobs and scheduled re-checks cannot be combined. The general technique is covered in the glossary entry on drip feed.

Measured results

IndexChex measures each mode weekly on recurring URL sets. As of October 2026, those measurements average:

These are averages over IndexChex's own test sets and are not promises for any particular URL. How the sets are built and checked is set out in the measurement methodology. The reason no submission tool can promise indexation is that crawling only gets a page in front of Google; the separate indexing decision weighs content quality, duplication and canonical signals.

What the indexer cannot fix

A crawl request does not override what the page itself tells Google. URLs that return errors, carry noindex, are blocked in robots.txt for Googlebot, or point their canonical elsewhere will be crawled (or attempted) without becoming indexable. Thin or duplicated pages may be crawled and then left out. Checking those conditions first saves credits; the backlink monitor records several of them for each tracked link.

Typical workflow

1. Paste or import the URL list (plain text, .txt file or XML sitemap).
2. Choose standard, instant or drip feed and, for the first two, an optional re-check delay.
3. Submit; credits for the job (and any re-check) are reserved at once.
4. Read the re-check or run a manual index check, then send the not-indexed URLs back to a new submission in one click.

The same flow is available programmatically through API v1 and the SpeedyIndex-compatible API v2. All mode limits are collected in the specifications table.
