A sitemap indexer is a tool that reads your sitemap.xml file, extracts every URL listed in it, and sends individual crawl signals to search engines for each one — instead of just telling Google the sitemap exists and waiting for it to process the file on its own schedule.
Submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console is a passive signal. Google acknowledges the sitemap but crawls it at its own pace — which can take weeks for low-priority pages. A sitemap indexer is an active signal: it tells Google to visit every specific URL now, not eventually.
IndexMyURL is the sitemap indexer that handles all sitemap types — standard XML sitemaps, sitemap index files, image sitemaps and news sitemaps — and fires crawl signals to all 5 major search engines simultaneously. See backlink indexer pricing.
Sitemap types supported
Standard XML sitemap
Most commonsitemap.xml with a list of URLs. The most common format — paste the URL and IndexMyURL extracts everything.
Sitemap index file
NestedA sitemap that references multiple child sitemaps. IndexMyURL recursively fetches every child sitemap and extracts all URLs automatically.
Image sitemap
SupportedSitemaps containing image URLs. All image page URLs are extracted and submitted like any other URL.
News sitemap
SupportedGoogle News sitemaps with recent article URLs. Ideal for getting news content crawled fast after publication.
From sitemap URL to crawl signals in minutes. No manual work.
Enter your sitemap.xml URL in the campaign form. IndexMyURL fetches the file, parses every URL inside it, and handles nested sitemap index files recursively — all automatically.
Every URL extracted from your sitemap is checked for HTTP status before charging a credit. 404s, redirects, noindex pages and already-indexed URLs are skipped for free. You only pay for live, crawlable pages.
IndexMyURL notifies Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Yandex for every valid URL. 14 rounds of signals over 15 days. Verified on days 8 and 15. Credits refunded automatically if Google or Bing does not index in 15 days.

Common questions about submitting sitemaps with IndexMyURL.
How does IndexMyURL extract URLs from a sitemap?
You paste your sitemap.xml URL into the campaign form. IndexMyURL fetches the sitemap, parses every URL inside it, and adds them to the campaign automatically. Sitemap index files that reference multiple child sitemaps are fully supported — IndexMyURL recursively fetches and extracts all URLs from every child sitemap.
Does the sitemap indexer support nested sitemap index files?
Yes. IndexMyURL handles sitemap index files that reference multiple child sitemaps. It recursively fetches every child sitemap and extracts all URLs — so a single sitemap index URL covering 50 child sitemaps works in one campaign submission, subject to the 10,000 URL per campaign limit.
Does submitting my sitemap to IndexMyURL replace submitting it to Google Search Console?
No — they serve different purposes. Google Search Console sitemap submission tells Google the sitemap exists and uses it for general crawl guidance. IndexMyURL sends individual crawl signals for every URL in the sitemap directly to Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Yandex, which is faster and more targeted.
Can I use the sitemap indexer for a sitemap on someone else's domain?
Yes. IndexMyURL fetches and processes any publicly accessible sitemap URL. You do not need to own or have access to the domain. This makes it useful for submitting sitemaps of client sites, partner sites, or any site where you want to accelerate crawling.
What happens if some URLs in my sitemap return 404 or have a noindex tag?
IndexMyURL pre-checks every URL extracted from your sitemap before charging any credit. URLs returning 404, 301, or 302, and pages with a noindex tag, are skipped automatically. Credits for those URLs are returned. You only pay for URLs that are live, public and indexable.
How often can I resubmit my sitemap?
As often as you need. There is no cooldown or resubmission limit. You can create a new campaign from the same sitemap URL whenever you publish new content, after a site update, or on any schedule that suits your workflow. Credits are never charged for URLs that are already indexed.
10 free credits. No credit card required. Auto refund if Google or Bing does not index in 15 days.
