Google Indexing Script

Use this script to get your entire site indexed on Google in less than 48 hours. No tricks, no hacks, just a simple script and a Google API.

[!IMPORTANT]

  1. This script uses Google Indexing API and it only works on pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent structured data.
  2. Indexing != Ranking. This will not help your page rank on Google, it'll just let Google know about the existence of your pages.

Requirements

Preparation

  1. Follow this guide from Google. By the end of it, you should have a project on Google Cloud with the Indexing API enabled, a service account with the Owner permission on your sites.
  2. Make sure you enable both Google Search Console API and Web Search Indexing API on your Google Project ➤ API Services ➤ Enabled API & Services.
  3. Download the JSON file with the credentials of your service account and save it in the same folder as the script. The file should be named service_account.json

Installation

Using CLI

Install the cli globally on your machine.

npm i -g google-indexing-script

Using the repository

Clone the repository to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/goenning/google-indexing-script.git
cd google-indexing-script

Install and build the project.

npm install
npm run build
npm i -g .

[!NOTE] Ensure you are using an up-to-date Node.js version, with a preference for v20 or later. Check your current version with node -v.

Usage

With service_account.json (recommended) Create a `.gis` directory in your home folder and move the `service_account.json` file there. ```bash mkdir ~/.gis mv service_account.json ~/.gis ``` Run the script with the domain or url you want to index. ```bash gis # example gis seogets.com ``` Here are some other ways to run the script: ```bash # custom path to service_account.json gis seogets.com --path /path/to/service_account.json # long version command google-indexing-script seogets.com # cloned repository npm run index seogets.com ```
With environment variables Open `service_account.json` and copy the `client_email` and `private_key` values. Run the script with the domain or url you want to index. ```bash GIS_CLIENT_EMAIL=your-client-email GIS_PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key gis seogets.com ```
With arguments (not recommended) Open `service_account.json` and copy the `client_email` and `private_key` values. Once you have the values, run the script with the domain or url you want to index, the client email and the private key. ```bash gis seogets.com --client-email your-client-email --private-key your-private-key ```
As a npm module You can also use the script as a [npm module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-indexing-script) in your own project. ```bash npm i google-indexing-script ``` ```javascript import { index } from "google-indexing-script"; import serviceAccount from "./service_account.json"; index("seogets.com", { client_email: serviceAccount.client_email, private_key: serviceAccount.private_key, }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error); ``` Read the [API documentation](https://jsdocs.io/package/google-indexing-script) for more details.

Here's an example of what you should expect:

[!IMPORTANT]

  • Your site must have 1 or more sitemaps submitted to Google Search Console. Otherwise, the script will not be able to find the pages to index.
  • You can run the script as many times as you want. It will only index the pages that are not already indexed.
  • Sites with a large number of pages might take a while to index, be patient.

Quota

Depending on your account several quotas are configured for the API (see docs). By default the script exits as soon as the rate limit is exceeded. You can configure a retry mechanism for the read requests that apply on a per minute time frame.

With environment variables ```bash export GIS_QUOTA_RPM_RETRY=true ```
As a npm module ```javascript import { index } from 'google-indexing-script' import serviceAccount from './service_account.json' index('seogets.com', { client_email: serviceAccount.client_email, private_key: serviceAccount.private_key quota: { rpmRetry: true } }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error) ```
