Submit hundreds or thousands of templated pages in batches, see which templates Google indexes, and stop spending on the ones it does not. If a page is confirmed as not indexed, you get the standard credit back.
Large sets of templated pages usually stall in two places in Search Console: Discovered - currently not indexed, where Google has not crawled them yet, and Crawled - currently not indexed, where it crawled them and chose not to index them. These are the usual causes.
A page that is a title, a few swapped fields, and boilerplate gives Google little reason to index it. Thin pages often end up as Crawled - currently not indexed.
City, variant, or comparison pages that differ by one word look like duplicates. Google consolidates duplicates and indexes one version, not all of them.
Pages that only exist in a sitemap, with no hub or category page linking to them, look unimportant and are harder for Google to find.
Every site starts with a cautious crawl capacity limit that grows only if demand is there and the server stays fast. Thousands of new URLs can wait as Discovered - currently not indexed.
Publishing the full set at once puts every URL in the same crawl queue, including the weak ones. Google spends time on pages you did not need indexed.
Redirects, noindex pages, filtered views, and URLs whose canonical points elsewhere waste crawling on pages that cannot be indexed.
Based on Google’s guides to crawl budget and the Page indexing report. Read more about Discovered - currently not indexed and Crawled - currently not indexed.
Submitting a page gets Googlebot to it sooner. It does not change what Googlebot finds when it gets there. Do these first.
Each page should answer its search on its own: real numbers, specifics, examples, or listings for that one entity. If two pages would say the same thing, merge them into one.
Build category and hub pages that link to each programmatic page, and link related pages to each other. A page Google can reach by following links is easier to find and looks more important.
Each URL should return 200, carry no noindex, not be blocked by robots.txt, and have a canonical that points to itself. Add lastmod when pages change.
Launch the pages with the most search demand and the strongest data first. If those get indexed, release the next batch. If they do not, fix the template before you publish more.
Google’s spam policies treat many pages generated mainly to rank, with little or no value to users, as scaled content abuse, whether a person, a script, or AI wrote them. No indexing service changes that.
Enter how many pages you plan to index and how many to send in each batch. Each job holds up to 2000 URLs.
At this size one purchase of $1,000 or more gets the bulk price instead.
Needs one purchase of at least $1,000 (10,000 credits). Credits never expire, so the rest stay for later.
Send of up to pages, . Standard indexing is 1 credit per sent URL. Skipped URLs are not charged, so this is the most you would spend.
Any URL confirmed as not indexed after the final check, around day 14, gets its standard credit back.
Example: 20,000 pages sent 2,500 at a time is 8 batches and 16 jobs (up to 2000 URLs per job). With standard indexing that is at most 20,000 credits: $4,000 at $0.20 per credit, or $2,000 at the bulk price of $0.10 per credit, which applies to any single purchase of $1,000 or more. Skipped URLs are not charged, and any URL confirmed as not indexed after the final check, around day 14, gets its standard credit back.
Submit in batches, read the result for each batch, and only scale the templates that get indexed.
Step 1
A project groups every job for one site, so all of its programmatic pages report together.
Step 2
Paste the URLs, upload them with the CLI, or send them from the API. One job takes up to 2000 URLs, and you can create as many jobs as you need. Name each job after the template or batch so you can compare them later.
Step 3
Redirects, noindex pages, robots.txt blocks, error pages, and canonicals pointing to another page are skipped and not charged. Pages with little main content wait for your approval, with the word count we found, so a thin template shows up before you pay for it.
Step 4
We check every URL once after 24 hours. Your full report follows around day 5, with final checks around day 14. The project shows its index rate once batches finish, so you can see which templates Google is taking.
Step 5
If one template has a low index rate, pause it and improve the content before you submit more of it. Pages confirmed as not indexed get their standard credit back.
Step 6
Once the template works, add your sitemap to the project. We read it every six hours and can submit new URLs automatically, up to a limit you set per read (100 by default).
Details in the docs for projects and sitemap watches and checks before sending.
Usually because the pages are thin or very similar to each other, few internal links point to them, or the site published more URLs than Google is ready to crawl. Google says it decides how much to crawl from crawl capacity and crawl demand, and that demand depends on page quality, popularity, and how many duplicate or unimportant URLs it finds on the site.
No. Submitting helps Googlebot find and crawl a page. Google still decides whether to index it. Google treats many pages made mainly to rank, with little value to users, as scaled content abuse, however they were created. Sites that break Google’s spam policies can rank lower or drop out of results, so fix the content first.

Not by itself. Google’s scaled content abuse policy is about pages generated mainly to manipulate rankings that provide little or no value, no matter how they are made. Templated pages built on unique, useful data for each entity are a different thing from pages that only swap a keyword.

We suggest batches. Google says every site starts with a conservative crawl capacity limit that rises only if there is demand and the site stays healthy. Releasing your best pages first lets you see whether the template gets indexed before you publish thousands more like it.
Up to 2000 URLs per job, and as many jobs as you have credits for. A URL that is already in progress in another of your jobs is skipped without charge, so overlapping batches do not cost twice.
Standard indexing is 1 credit per sent URL, which is $0.20, or $0.10 on any single purchase of $1,000 or more. Skipped URLs are not charged. A URL confirmed as not indexed after the final check, around day 14, gets its standard credit back. Credits never expire.
If a page has nothing useful to add, remove it and return 404 or 410, or merge it into a stronger page. Google says noindex pages are still requested and then dropped, which wastes crawling, and that removed pages should return 404 or 410.
