> For SEO data and indexing, start with /seo-mcp/overview.md and /seo-mcp/connect.md, then read the focused server reference.
> The documentation search MCP at https://docs.crakseo.com/mcp searches documentation only. Product tools use https://crakseo.com/mcp/<server>.
> Check tool availability and API credit balance before paid calls. Request owner approval for paid indexing. Never invent prices, indexing guarantees or directory approval.

# Google Indexing API alternative for regular pages

> Google's Indexing API only supports JobPosting and BroadcastEvent pages. Here's how to get regular pages crawled instead, and what CrakSEO does and doesn't do.

**CrakSEO does not use the Google Indexing API for general pages, and never will.** Google limits the Indexing API to pages with `JobPosting` structured data and livestream pages with `BroadcastEvent` in a `VideoObject`. Google says other use isn't supported and can be treated as spam, and it can revoke access. Tools that push blog posts, product pages or backlinks through the Indexing API break those rules.

## What works for regular pages

In order, cheapest first:

1. **A clean sitemap** listing only canonical, indexable URLs, with accurate `lastmod` dates, submitted in Search Console. CrakSEO tool: `submit_sitemap`.
2. **Internal links** from pages Google already crawls often, such as your home page or a popular hub page.
3. **URL Inspection** in Search Console to check status and request indexing for a few important pages. CrakSEO tool: `inspect_url_in_google` checks status; requesting indexing is done in the Search Console UI.
4. **IndexNow** for Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and other participating engines. Google doesn't use it. CrakSEO tools: `submit_urls_to_indexnow`, or `submit_url_for_indexing` for IndexNow plus Bing Webmaster Tools in one call.
5. **Paid submission** through a managed indexing supplier, for URLs that still aren't picked up. CrakSEO tool: `quote_indexing_submission`, which returns an exact quote that the account owner approves before `submit_indexing_urls` spends anything.

If a page is "Crawled - currently not indexed", submission rarely helps. Improve the page's quality, uniqueness and internal links first.

## What CrakSEO's paid Google submission is

* CrakSEO sends the approved URLs to a managed third-party indexing supplier. CrakSEO doesn't call the Google Indexing API, and it doesn't control or guarantee the supplier's methods or results.
* You're charged per supplier-accepted URL, in a quote you approve before anything is spent.
* A submission receipt is not proof of indexing. Google decides what to index. Job records show what was submitted and any later index checks.
