Bulk URL Submission: Submit Thousands of URLs
Submitting URLs to search engines one at a time through Google Search Console is fine for a handful of pages, but website owners and SEO agencies managing large sites need a more efficient approach. This guide covers three main methods for bulk URL submission. The IndexNow protocol allows you to submit up to ten thousand URLs in a single API request to Bing, Yandex, and other supporting engines. The Google Indexing API supports batch requests of up to one hundred URLs, with a daily quota of two hundred submissions that can be increased on request. Third-party tools like IndexPushy combine both methods, automatically routing URLs to the appropriate API and handling rate limiting, retries, and quota management. The guide walks through the practical setup for each method, including generating API keys, configuring authentication, formatting batch requests, and interpreting response codes. It also covers best practices such as prioritising new and updated content over unchanged pages, avoiding resubmission of URLs that are already indexed, monitoring submission success rates, and scheduling regular submissions for sites that publish frequently. Whether you are migrating a website to a new domain, launching a content-heavy site, or maintaining ongoing indexing for a large catalogue, bulk submission dramatically reduces the time between publishing and appearing in search results.
