Indexkeeper

Know the day a page falls out of Google

Indexkeeper checks your important URLs every day through Search Console's official URL Inspection API and alerts you when one stops being indexed. No more re-checking pages one by one, no SaaS that holds your Search Console data.

You're on the list. We'll email you when Indexkeeper is ready.

Chrome extension, launching on the Chrome Web Store soon. One email when it is live; no spam.

What Indexkeeper does

Daily index check

Import your sitemap (including sitemap indexes) and Indexkeeper inspects each URL within Google's own limits: indexed or not, coverage state, last crawl, Google's chosen canonical.

Alerts when something changes

A badge and a desktop notification when a page drops out of the index, changes coverage state ("Crawled - currently not indexed", "Excluded by noindex") or gets a different canonical.

Your data stays with you

Read-only Search Console access, results stored in your browser, history per URL and CSV export. No account with us, no server of ours sees your Search Console data.

Google data: Indexkeeper asks only for the read-only Search Console scope (webmasters.readonly). It reads your list of properties and the URL Inspection index status of the URLs you add, keeps them in your browser, and sends them nowhere else. Its use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Privacy policy

Questions

How does it check?

With Google's URL Inspection API, the same data as the URL Inspection tool in Search Console. You sign in with Google and grant read-only access (webmasters.readonly). Google allows 2,000 inspections per property per day; Indexkeeper stays under that.

Does it request indexing?

No. Google offers no API for that on normal pages. Each URL has a one-click link to URL Inspection, where you press "Request indexing" yourself. Indexkeeper does not automate Search Console's interface.

When do checks run?

In the background while Chrome is open, about once an hour it checks whatever is due. If Chrome was closed, it catches up next time. Nothing runs on our servers.
