Google Indexing Script

Use this script to get your entire site indexed on Google in less than 48 hours. No tricks, no hacks, just a simple script and a Google API.

 [!IMPORTANT]

 1. This script uses Google Indexing API and it only works on pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent structured data.
 2. Indexing != Ranking. This will not help your page rank on Google, it'll just let Google know about the existence of your pages.

 Requirements

- Install Node.js
- An account on Google Search Console with the verified sites you want to index
- An account on Google Cloud

 Preparation

1. Follow this guide from Google. By the end of it, you should have a project on Google Cloud with the Indexing API enabled, a service account with the Owner permission on your sites.
2. Make sure you enable both Google Search Console API and Web Search Indexing API on your Google Project ➤ API Services ➤ Enabled API & Services.
3. Download the JSON file with the credentials of your service account and save it in the same folder as the script. The file should be named service_account.json

 Usage


With service_account.json (recommended)

Create a .gis directory in your home folder and move the service_account.json file there.

bash
mkdir ~/.gis
mv service_account.json ~/.gis


Run the script with the domain or url you want to index.

bash
gis 
 example
gis seogets.com


Here are some other ways to run the script:

bash
 custom path to service_account.json
gis seogets.com --path /path/to/service_account.json

npm run index seogets.com





With environment variables

Open service_account.json and copy the client_email and private_key values.

Run the script with the domain or url you want to index.

bash
GIS_CLIENT_EMAIL=your-client-email GIS_PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key gis seogets.com





With arguments (not recommended)

Open service_account.json and copy the client_email and private_key values.

Once you have the values, run the script with the domain or url you want to index, the client email and the private key.

bash
gis seogets.com --client-email your-client-email --private-key your-private-key





As a npm module

You can also use the script as a npm module in your own project.
