    this was commonplace several years ago but afaik these tools don’t work anymore after Google changed to only allowing submission via the GSC panel which means you must be the owner of the website, but I still fee pinging tools floating around, are they dead or still work somehow?

    For automation, there are two main approaches:

    1. Google Indexing API – Official API that allows submitting URLs for indexing, but it’s officially limited to job postings and livestream content. Some SEOs still use it for other pages, but there’s no guarantee it works.

    2. Sitemaps – Submitting an XML sitemap in Google Search Console is the best way to ensure new URLs get indexed. You can also ping Google with:

    https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

    However, this is not a direct indexing request—it just signals Google that your sitemap was updated.
