API is an application programming interface that takes charge of various kinds of connections. It provides a network between computers, hardware, operating systems, etc., and usually relies on programming languages such as JavaScript. In the specific case of Google, the concept of Indexing API refers to the management of websites and pages. Do you need to know more about it? Definitely. This is how you will be able to better control your pages on the Google Index. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, have you ever felt worried about having obsolete pages still listed as active? Without knowing how to discard them? That’s precisely our point here. So we will show the main steps to follow whenever dealing with indexing operations. It has become all the more necessary since a major update undertaken by Google in spring 2020. Nothing to be concerned about. The only big deal is to stay more alert about one’s own pages and report them on time. Just some basic precautions to avoid additional threats on rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, we will remember how the system works. Then we will see what you should do to get indexed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so since we have mentioned rankings in the previous paragraphs, it’s better to briefly refresh our memories. The Google Indexing API and the whole indexing system follow a logical order. Don’t forget that we are talking about a gigantic library here. There’s a ton of data Google has to sort out related to the billions of pages submitted. This is something to remember if you ever happen to lose patience regarding the whereabouts of your pages. So yes, the process does naturally take time. We can summarize the whole progression as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Discovery:<\/strong> At this phase, Google discovers the new pages. This is made possible through the information provided by XML sitemaps and updates on already existing pages. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Crawling:<\/strong> Google starts to crawl the newly discovered pages and decides which ones it will add to the index. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Indexing:<\/strong> Once it has fully understood what the new pages are about, Google saves and organizes them within a database. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Serving:<\/strong> This phase is more commonly known as ranking. You may think of it as the ultimate purpose of the Indexing API. Whenever a user makes a specific inquiry, Google provides or serves the most relevant answer from its database. In other words, this is what occurs when you find the appropriate information related to your Web search. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    That’s basically how ‘the indexing website on Google process’ works. So what would be your role in it? Well, you simply have to collaborate with Google by giving it clear instructions. Let’s see the details in the next section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
