The problem it solves

You publish or update pages regularly, but you have no easy way to tell which ones Google has actually indexed and which are still sitting unseen. Submitting every single URL to Google wastes your limited indexing requests on pages that don't need it.

Who it fits

A marketer, SEO specialist, or site owner who wants new and updated pages indexed by Google without wasting API quota.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system reads your XML sitemap
  2. It filters the list down to pages that are new or recently updated
  3. Each page is checked against Google Search Console for its current indexing status
  4. Pages that Google hasn't picked up yet are flagged for attention
  5. You end up with a focused list of pages that still need Google's attention
What you get

Pages you know still need Google's attention

You get a focused list of the pages from your sitemap that Google hasn't indexed yet, so you know what to prioritize.

What you get

A filtered list of recently changed pages showing which ones Google has and hasn't indexed.

What you need

A Google Cloud project with Search Console and Indexing API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
