The URL Indexing tab submits pages to search engines and shows you which ones are actually indexed.
Step 1 — Fetch the Sitemap
Open the URL Indexing tab for your domain. Click Fetch Sitemap.
Trovn looks for a sitemap at common locations (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, etc.) and loads every URL it finds. All URLs appear in a list with checkboxes.
If the sitemap can't be found, you can paste the sitemap URL manually or add URLs one at a time.
Step 2 — Choose URLs to Submit
Select the URLs you want to submit. By default all URLs are checked. Uncheck any pages you don't want indexed (e.g. thank-you pages, admin pages).
Step 3 — Submit to Search Engines
Click Submit Selected. Trovn pushes the URLs to:
- Bing (via IndexNow)
- Yandex (via IndexNow)
- ChatGPT Search (via Bing's IndexNow relay)
- Naver (via IndexNow — South Korea's main search engine)
- Google (via GSC sitemap submission if GSC is connected)
Bing, Yandex, ChatGPT, and Naver accept URLs instantly through IndexNow. Google doesn't accept per-URL submissions for free, so Trovn submits the sitemap to Google Search Console instead — Google then crawls it on its own schedule.
Step 4 — Check Indexing Status
After submitting, Trovn runs the URL Inspection API on each URL (if GSC is connected). For each URL you'll see:
- ✅ Indexed — Google knows about this URL and it appears in search results
- ⏳ Crawled, not indexed — Google fetched it but hasn't ranked it yet (usually resolves within 1–2 weeks)
- ❌ Not indexed — Google hasn't crawled it yet, or there's an issue (noindex tag, canonical conflict, etc.)
- ⚠️ Issue detected — Google found a specific problem (details shown on click)
Step 5 — Fix Unindexed URLs
Click View in GSC next to any unindexed URL. This opens the URL in Google Search Console so you can:
- See the exact reason Google gave
- Request indexing again
- Inspect the page's structured data, canonical, robots directives
Most not-indexed pages resolve by:
- Ensuring the page isn't blocked by
robots.txt - Removing
noindexmeta tags - Fixing canonical tags that point elsewhere
- Waiting 1–2 more weeks for Google to re-crawl
Bulk Indexing Status Check
Use Re-check All Statuses to refresh indexing data for every URL. This runs the URL Inspection API again and updates the status column. Great to run weekly for a quick health check.
Credits & Limits
| Plan | URL Submissions per Month |
|---|---|

One submission = one URL pushed to all search engines (counted once, not once per engine).
Tips
- Submit after every site update — Any time a page is added, changed, or has a new published blog post, re-submit it. IndexNow is built for fast updates.
- Don't spam — Search engines deprioritize accounts that submit the same URL repeatedly within a short window. Submit once, wait for indexing, then move on.
- Prioritize money pages — If you're limited on submissions, submit the homepage, service pages, and top-ranking blog posts first. Less critical pages (archives, tags) will be picked up naturally.
- Ignore 4xx and 5xx URLs — If a URL returns an error, fix it first. Submitting broken URLs wastes credits.
