IndexMyURL alternative and IndexMyURL pricing from $0.016 a URL

What a credit costs per indexed link

The homepage shows a live success rate of 91.5 percent indexed in Google or Bing, which is the vendor counter and not an independent measurement. The terms are more careful: they promise signals and a refund, not indexation. Your own batches decide which number is true.

The sum below uses the SEO Pro price of $0.0156 a credit and the Freelancer price of $0.01875. Because a refunded credit can be reused, the cost per indexed link is lower than the table if the refund really triggers on every miss. It is higher if links stay unrefunded because Googlebot visited but the page never entered the index.

Illustrative arithmetic on the published prices, not IndexMyURL results. It ignores refunded credits, which depend on how the vendor measures a Googlebot visit.

The 15-day refund, as the terms word it

The homepage says credits are refunded automatically if Google or Bing does not index the URL by day 15. The terms of service say that if Googlebot does not visit a submitted URL within 15 days, the credit is returned to your balance. Those are different tests. A page can be crawled and still be left out of the index as crawled, currently not indexed.

The terms add three limits. The refund applies to credits only, not to monetary payments. It does not apply if the URL returns a 4xx or 5xx error, carries a noindex directive, or duplicates another URL in the same campaign. And the terms say plainly that indexation is not guaranteed. So the real protection is that a link Googlebot never touched costs you nothing, while a link it touched but did not index does.

The AI search discovery claim

The newer part of the pitch is reach into ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. The mechanism it describes is ordinary: Bing submission and IndexNow feed Bing, whose index sits behind Copilot and some ChatGPT browsing, and other engines find pages through their own crawlers.

That is a fair description of how those engines find pages, but it is not a citation guarantee, and the vendor does not claim one in its terms. Being retrievable is different from being quoted. If AI citations are the goal, the page itself has to answer the question better than the other results, and that part is yours to write.

When a page on your own site is the problem

If the URLs are on a site you own, a backlink signal service is the wrong tool. Search Console accepts a sitemap, the Indexing API and IndexNow accept pings, and the reason a page stays out is usually visible: never crawled, crawled and judged thin, duplicate of another URL, or blocked.

Indexing submits through those official channels and monitors every page. When a page is out, it names which case applies, so you fix the cause instead of paying to resubmit the same URL. That is the part a credit product does not do, and it decides whether a revenue page ever ranks.

When IndexMyURL is still the right buy

Buy it when the links sit on sites you do not control, when you want to pay per URL with no subscription, and when you can start on 10 free credits to measure your own rate before spending a dollar. A credit refund that triggers on no Googlebot visit also caps the loss on links that are simply dead.

Do not buy it as the main route for pages that earn revenue, and do not price a batch off the homepage success counter. Run 100 links, recheck on day 8 and day 15, and divide what you spent by what newly indexed.
