Getting your content indexed by Google shouldn't take weeks. The XealBrax Auto Indexer<\/strong> connects your WordPress site directly to the official Google Indexing API.<\/p>\n\n

Instead of waiting for Googlebot to passively discover your XML sitemaps, this plugin actively alerts Google the exact second you publish or update a post, prompting near-instant crawling.<\/p>\n\n

Built by the web engineering team at XealBrax<\/a>, the XealBrax Indexer uses a profoundly lightweight, native PHP OpenSSL engine.<\/p>\n\n

Core Features:<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Instant API Pings:<\/strong> Automatically notify Google the moment you hit \"Publish\" or \"Update\".<\/li>\n
  • Native JWT Authentication:<\/strong> We generate Google OAuth 2.0 tokens using pure PHP. No heavy dependencies, no Composer vendor folders. The entire plugin is under 100KB.<\/li>\n
  • Granular Control:<\/strong> A custom meta box in your post editor allows you to manually \"Push to Google Now\" via AJAX, or selectively exclude specific posts from being auto-indexed.<\/li>\n
  • Custom Post Type Support:<\/strong> Easily enable auto-indexing for WooCommerce Products, Portfolios, Recipes, or any other public custom post type.<\/li>\n
  • Ecosystem Ready:<\/strong> Works flawlessly alongside your existing SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress) without conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    External services<\/h3>\n\n

    This plugin connects directly to Google APIs to automate your website's indexing process.<\/p>\n\n

    When you publish or update a post, this plugin sends the specific URL of that post to the Google Indexing API<\/strong> to request an immediate crawl. To authenticate this request, the plugin uses the Google OAuth 2.0 token service<\/strong> using the Google Service Account JSON key you provide in the settings.<\/p>\n\n

    The only data sent to Google is the URL being indexed\/updated and your provided Service Account credentials. No visitor data or other site data is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n

    This service is provided by Google LLC.\n- Google Terms of Service: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms\n- Google Privacy Policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n

    Additionally, if you choose to opt-in to usage tracking during activation or submit a bug report via the plugin dashboard, basic site data and contact information are routed securely to XealBrax servers to assist with troubleshooting and product improvement.\n- XealBrax Terms of Service: https:\/\/xealbrax.com\/terms-of-service\/\n- XealBrax Privacy Policy: https:\/\/xealbrax.com\/privacy-policy\/<\/p>\n\n\n

    Step 1: Plugin Installation<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the xealbrax-auto-indexer<\/code> directory to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Step 2: Google Cloud Setup<\/h3>\n\n

      To use this plugin, you need a free Google Service Account JSON key.\n1. Go to the Google Cloud Console<\/strong> and create a new project.\n2. Search for the Web Search Indexing API<\/strong> and click Enable<\/strong>. \n3. Go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts<\/strong> and create a new service account. Copy the generated email address (ending in iam.gserviceaccount.com<\/code>).\n4. Click on the Service Account, go to the Keys<\/strong> tab, and click Add Key > Create new key<\/strong> (JSON format). Download this .json<\/code> file to your computer.<\/p>\n\n

      Step 3: Google Search Console Setup<\/h3>\n\n

      Google will block the API if the service account does not have permission to manage your site.\n1. Go to Google Search Console<\/strong> and select your website.\n2. Go to Settings > Users and permissions<\/strong>.\n3. Click Add User<\/strong>, paste the iam.gserviceaccount.com<\/code> email address, and set the permission to Owner<\/strong> (Full or Restricted will not work).<\/p>\n\n

      Step 4: Finalize in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      1. In your WordPress admin, go to XB Indexer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Click \"Choose File\" and upload the .json<\/code> file you downloaded from Google Cloud.<\/li>\n
      3. Select which post types you want to auto-index and hit Save. You're done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Why use this instead of an XML Sitemap?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        XML Sitemaps are passive. They simply leave a list of URLs on your server hoping Google comes to read them eventually. The Indexing API is active\u2014it pushes a notification directly to Google's servers demanding an immediate crawl. You should use both: your SEO plugin (like Yoast\/Rank Math) for sitemaps, and this plugin for instant indexing.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if I bulk-publish hundreds of posts?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Google imposes a strict 200 URL\/day quota on the Indexing API. The plugin pings Google instantly, which may trigger a 429 Error if you bulk import hundreds of posts at once. Please be mindful of Google's daily quotas when publishing or importing in bulk.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        I clicked \"Push to Google Now\" and got a Server Error.<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        If you receive a cURL error or server timeout, your web host is likely blocking outgoing HTTP requests to googleapis.com<\/code>. Contact your hosting provider to ensure your server firewall allows outgoing cURL requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        I got \"HTTP 403: Indexing API has not been used in project\".<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        This means you forgot to click the blue \"Enable\" button for the Web Search Indexing API inside your Google Cloud Console project.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
