IndexCheckr helps you monitor whether your pages are indexed by Google. This is different from requesting indexing, which involves actively trying to get a page indexed using external services.
Here’s how they differ:
Index check
IndexCheckr performs a non-intrusive check to determine if a page is already indexed in Google. This does not influence Google in any way.
Each check uses one IndexCheckr credit and updates the status (indexed, not indexed) in your project. You can run checks manually or set up automatic rechecks.
Index request
Requesting indexing means using a third-party indexer tool to try to get a page indexed. IndexCheckr itself doesn’t contact Google, but it can send pages to connected indexer tools like IndexMeNow, Omega Indexer, or others.
These services use different techniques—some might try submitting the URL to Google, while others use alternative methods that may influence indexing indirectly. IndexCheckr simply passes the URLs to them. The actual method used depends on the indexer, and results may vary.
In short
Index check = see if the page is indexed
Index request = send the page to a service that tries to get it indexed
Just because a page isn’t indexed doesn’t mean IndexCheckr can change that. You can either improve the page for natural indexing or use an indexer tool to try to accelerate the process.
