There’s only one source that truly knows whether one of your URLs is on Google: Google itself. Everything else — searching with “site:”, guessing from traffic, inspecting your HTML — is just an approximation. The real data lives in Search Console, and getting it has never been the problem: the problem is getting it for an entire catalog without burning an afternoon URL by URL.
The data only Google has
Search Console’s URL Inspection tool gives you the official verdict: whether the URL is indexed, and if not, why — blocked, noindex, canonical pointing elsewhere, discovered but queued. No tool that analyzes your site from the outside can give you that: it can form an opinion about your HTML, but it has no idea what Google actually decided.
The manual method and its limit
In Search Console you paste a URL into the inspection bar, wait a few seconds, and get the verdict. Perfect for a single URL. For a catalog of 300 product pages, it’s an entire afternoon of copying, pasting, and logging results in a spreadsheet — one that’s already outdated the following week. The aggregate coverage report helps you see the forest, but cross-referencing it with YOUR list of important URLs is still manual grunt work.
Manual inspection
URL by URL in Search Console, logging results in a separate sheet. Hours of work that nobody repeats as often as they should.
Bulk coverage checks from the back office
The real status of a sample of your catalog, queried against Google’s API in batches, with every problem URL listed along with its cause.
How Zeyvro Faro does it
With Search Console connected, Zeyvro Faro queries Google’s URL Inspection API in batches across a sample of your catalog — respecting the API’s quotas, because there is no public “coverage API,” and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you smoke. The result, right inside the back office: which URLs are indexed, which aren’t, and Google’s official reason for each one. Got one specific URL driving you crazy? The individual inspection tab checks it on the spot.
And the cherry on top: the AI diagnosis translates every problem into plain language — why this particular URL isn’t indexing, and which one to fix first. The connection to Google is set up just once if you have the free Zeyvro Connections hub installed (all Zeyvro modules share it); without it, Faro uses its own connection.
💡 Before querying Google, make sure your own store isn’t the problem: the technical audit for robots, sitemap, noindex, and canonical — free, with nothing to connect.
What to do with the verdict
- Blocked or noindex — a configuration error: fix it in robots.txt or on the page itself, then request reindexing.
- Canonical pointing elsewhere — decide which URL is genuinely the right one and align the canonical with that decision.
- Discovered, not indexed — Google is waiting for stronger signals: improve the page, its internal linking, and how differentiated the content is.
- Indexed but invisible — the problem is no longer indexing, it’s ranking: a different battle, fought with different weapons.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Google API to see the coverage of my entire site?
There’s no public “Index Coverage API.” What does exist is the URL Inspection API, which checks the real status URL by URL — Zeyvro Faro uses it in batches across a sample of your catalog, respecting its quotas.
Doesn’t “site:mydomain.com” tell me the same thing?
Not reliably: the site: operator is an approximation that neither lists everything indexed nor confirms what’s missing. The official verdict, cause included, only comes from Search Console’s URL Inspection tool.
Do I need Zeyvro Connections to use Faro?
It’s recommended: you connect Google once in the free hub and every Zeyvro module inherits it. Without it, Faro still works fine with its own connection to Search Console.
What does the AI diagnosis tell me that Search Console doesn’t?
Search Console gives you the technical status; the AI diagnosis translates it into plain language and prioritizes: why this URL isn’t indexing, and which one to fix first.
