Request Indexing Guide for YourCite

Request Indexing

YourCite · 11 URLs · ~5 minutes in Google Search Console · 4 Oct 2026

Why this is manual: Google has no API for requesting indexing of normal pages (the Indexing API only accepts job postings and livestreams). A human clicking Request Indexing is the only lever, and the quota is about 10–12 per day. That is exactly enough for the list below.

1 Open Search Console

2 Paste each URL into the top search bar

The bar at the very top of Search Console says "Inspect any URL in sc-domain:yourcite.com". Paste URL #1, press Enter, wait for the inspection card, then click REQUEST INDEXING. Repeat for each URL. Skip the two marked SKIP.

The list, in this order

SKIP: yourcite.com/blog/ai-citation-tracking-tool/ · /blog/how-to-build-a-lead-list-for-cold-email/ · /blog/ai-lead-generation-for-small-business/, these three now redirect (301) to their new versions, and Google follows redirects on its own. Requesting them wastes your daily quota.

What happens next: most of these get crawled within 1–3 days of the request (the new three URLs are already submitted to Bing and are in the resubmitted sitemap, so they have multiple paths in). The daily rank watch reports anything that enters the top 100. If nothing has been crawled by 8 Oct, request the same three new URLs once more.
