GrowLytics is a Google Indexing & SEO Platform. It submits URLs to Google, Bing, Yandex and 40+ search engines via 4 parallel methods, runs 6-layer SEO analysis, audits entire sites, and verifies indexing status using Google's authoritative GSC URL Inspection API. It's the only indexing tool that also tells you exactly WHY a page isn't indexed — and gives you a step-by-step fix guide.

Sign up free — you get 10 free credits with no credit card required. Then: (1) Connect your Google Search Console account in Settings, (2) Go to Submit URLs and paste your URLs, (3) GrowLytics handles the rest automatically. Results appear in Job History with real-time indexing verification.

GSC connection is optional but strongly recommended. Without GSC: GrowLytics submits via IndexNow (Bing/Yandex), 34 crawler pings, and sitemap signals. With GSC connected: you also get Google Indexing API submission (fastest path), accurate indexing verification via URL Inspection API, and full site audit capabilities. Connect once in Settings — tokens auto-refresh silently.

1 credit = 1 action:

• 1 URL submission (to all 4 engines) = 1 credit
• 1 GSC URL Inspection = 1 credit
• 1 SEO Analysis = 1 credit
• 1 Site Audit page = 2 credits (GSC + SEO)
• Re-indexing after fix = 1 credit

Example: Submitting 100 URLs = 100 credits. Auditing a 50-page site = 100 credits.

No. Credits never expire. Buy once and use whenever you need them — whether tomorrow or 2 years from now. We don't believe in forcing you to spend credits before an arbitrary deadline.

If a URL is blocked by our SEO pre-assessment (critical issues like missing title, blocked by robots.txt, noindex tag, 404 error), the credit is automatically refunded. If the submission succeeds but Google later decides not to index it, the credit is not refunded — the submission work was done. See our Refund Policy for full details.

No tool can guarantee Google will index a page — that decision is entirely Google's. What GrowLytics guarantees: (1) Your URL is submitted via the official Google Indexing API, (2) We tell you exactly what Google says about each URL via the authoritative GSC URL Inspection API, (3) We identify and explain the exact reason if Google chose not to index your page.

For pages with good content quality (SEO score 65+), indexing typically occurs within 24-72 hours after Google Indexing API submission. GrowLytics auto-checks status at 1h, 6h, 24h, 48h, and 72h after submission using the GSC Inspection API.

"Submitted" means GrowLytics successfully sent your URL to all search engines and Google accepted it into the crawl queue. "Indexed" only appears when the GSC URL Inspection API confirms Google has actually indexed the page (verdict: PASS). This distinction is intentional — we won't mark a page as indexed until Google officially confirms it.

"Discovered, Not Indexed" means Google knows your URL exists but hasn't crawled it yet, OR crawled it but decided not to index it. Common causes: thin content, duplicate content, missing canonical tag, noindex directive, slow crawl budget. GrowLytics shows you the exact GSC coverage state and provides step-by-step fix guides for each cause.

Sinbyte and PrimeIndexer submit your URL and that's it. GrowLytics does that too — but also: runs 6-layer SEO analysis before submission, verifies actual indexing using Google's GSC URL Inspection API (not a site: operator guess), runs a full site audit with per-page fix guides, and provides a fix-then-reindex workflow. No other indexing tool in this space has all of this.

Site Audit runs in 4 steps: (1) Discovery — fetches all your pages from GSC Search Analytics, sitemap.xml, or web crawl, (2) GSC Inspection — checks each page against Google's URL Inspection API for exact indexing status, (3) SEO Analysis — runs 6-layer SEO analysis on each page, (4) Issue Report — builds a per-page issue list with fix guides sorted by severity. Cost: 2 credits per page.

After the audit: (1) Click any page with issues to see detailed fix guides, (2) Apply the fixes on your website, (3) Return to GrowLytics and click "I Fixed This" — we re-run SEO analysis automatically, (4) Compare before/after SEO scores, (5) Click "Request Re-indexing" (1 credit) — GrowLytics pushes a fresh indexing request to all engines.

Yes. Every audit exports as: (1) Summary PDF — full site overview with all pages, verdicts, SEO scores, and issues, (2) Per-page PDF — detailed report for a single page, (3) ZIP bundle — all individual page PDFs. PDFs are generated server-side — no browser URL headers, clean GrowLytics branding.

Yes, completely safe. GrowLytics uses Google's official Indexing API with your own OAuth credentials — the same API Google officially provides for webmasters. IndexNow is an open protocol supported by Bing and Yandex. We do not use any scraping, automated clicking, or black-hat techniques. Everything is done through official APIs and protocols.

Google allows 200 URL submissions per day per GSC property via the Indexing API. GrowLytics tracks your daily usage per property. If you hit the limit, remaining submissions are queued for the next day. The other 3 methods (IndexNow, pings, sitemap) have no daily limits.
