How to automate site index monitoring

SEO Gets can send you a weekly email with your site's index health so you don't have to check manually. Weekly Indexing Report emails show which pages are indexed, which aren't, and how your index coverage is trending over time.

Weekly indexing report emails requires a Super Site.

Step 1: Set up Index Reporting

Before you can receive weekly emails, you need to tell SEO Gets which pages to monitor. This is done through Index Reporting.

  1. Open the site you want to monitor

  2. Go to SettingsSuper Site Page Selection

  3. Paste your sitemap URL(s) — use the XML sitemap served at the domain level for best results

  4. Click Validate Sitemaps

  5. Click Save

Each Super Site can track up to 5,000 pages. If your site is larger, prioritize your most important sitemaps or consider adding another Super Site for subfolders or subdomains.

Index Reporting will begin processing your pages. Initial setup can take 24–72 hours depending on queue load and sitemap size. If progress seems stuck, see Index Reporting stuck at 0% or in queue for troubleshooting.

Step 2: Enable weekly email notifications

Once Index Reporting is set up, turn on the weekly emails:

  1. Navigate to Settings

  2. Under the Team menu, click Email Notifications

  3. Toggle on Weekly Indexing Report

Your preference saves automatically — you'll continue receiving weekly updates until you turn it off.

What you'll see in the email

The weekly email gives you a snapshot of your index health:

  • Indexed pages — how many of your tracked pages are currently in Google's index

  • De-indexed pages — pages that aren't indexed, which may need attention

  • Pages at risk of de-indexing — pages that are indexed but are no longer being crawled

This automated system ensures that you catch index issues early without manually checking Google Search Console every week. If you see a sudden drop in indexed pages, you'll know right away and can investigate before it impacts traffic.
