CrakSEO offers two different indexing services through the URL Indexing MCP server and the dashboard:
  • Free URL submission (free, sites you own or connected): IndexNow, Bing Webmaster Tools and sitemap resubmission to Google Search Console, plus checking whether a URL is indexed with Search Console URL Inspection. Google has no public API to request indexing of normal pages, so free submission only notifies engines; it cannot force Google.
  • Force indexing (paid): we push URLs to Google through a third-party indexing service so Googlebot crawls them sooner. It works on any public URL, including backlinks and pages you don’t own. It costs URL credits, always shows an exact quote first and needs the account owner’s approval in the dashboard.

Compare

URL credits are separate from dollar-denominated SEO API credits and from your Link Network link allowance; the balances are not interchangeable. See API credits and pricing and the URL Indexing reference.

​
When to use force indexing

  • Free URL submission and a sitemap resubmission haven’t got a page crawled, and it can’t wait.
  • You want Google to crawl backlinks or other pages you don’t own.
  • You want your AI agent to prepare the quote, with spend always approved by you.

​
No indexing guarantee

Force indexing gets URLs in front of Googlebot sooner; it does not guarantee that Google indexes them. Search engines decide what to index, and a submission receipt is not proof of indexing. CrakSEO never uses the Google Indexing API for general pages; see Google Indexing API alternative.
