You built the links. Google still hasn’t counted them. The problem isn’t the links — it’s that unindexed backlinks don’t exist as far as ranking algorithms are concerned. Forgendo fixes that with two indexing layers: IndexNow (free, fires on every publish) and Google force-indexing ($0.20/link, refunded automatically if a link stays dark after 7 days).
Why most backlinks never get indexed
Search engines don’t crawl every page on a fixed schedule. A fresh backlink on a low-authority domain can sit unindexed for weeks — or permanently. The usual culprits:
- The hosting page is orphaned (no internal links pointing to it)
- The domain has a low crawl budget
- The page is too thin or too similar to existing content
- No sitemap, no ping, no signal that the page even exists
A backlink indexer’s job is to close that gap — not just to submit URLs, but to verify that they actually land in the index.
How Forgendo indexes your backlinks
Forgendo uses two distinct layers so that no link falls through the cracks.
Layer 1 — IndexNow (free, automatic)
IndexNow is an open protocol that pings Bing and Yandex the moment a page goes live. Every backlink published through Forgendo triggers an IndexNow ping automatically — no setup, no cost, included on every plan. Bing feeds ChatGPT search results, so this also gets your links in front of AI search.
Layer 2 — Google force-indexing ($0.20/link, 7-day guarantee)
Google doesn’t support IndexNow. Force-indexing via the Google Indexing API is the fastest legitimate way to get a URL crawled. Forgendo submits each URL directly and tracks its status per link. If a link isn’t indexed within 7 days, the tokens are refunded automatically — no support ticket, no argument.
How it works
1. Publish or submit your backlink URLs
Publish cloud backlinks through Forgendo (they’re pinged via IndexNow instantly), or paste existing backlink URLs into the Indexation dashboard.
2. Select Google force-indexing
Choose which links to force-index on Google. Each link costs 200 tokens ($0.20). Buy tokens once — they don’t expire.
3. Track status per link
The dashboard shows indexed / pending / refunded for every URL. No guessing. If a link stays dark at day 7, tokens are returned automatically.
Token pricing
| Pack | Price | Tokens | Google links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $5 | 5,000 | ~25 links |
| Growth | $20 | 30,000 | ~150 links |
| Scale | $50 | 120,000 | ~600 links |
| Pro | $100 | 250,000 | ~1,250 links |
| Agency | $250 | 700,000 | ~3,500 links |
| Volume | $500 | 1,500,000 | ~7,500 links |
1 token = $0.001 · Google indexing = 200 tokens/link · Unused tokens never expire · Refunded automatically if not indexed in 7 days
How Forgendo compares to other backlink indexers
| Forgendo | Most indexers | |
|---|---|---|
| IndexNow (Bing + Yandex) | ✓ automatic on every publish | Rarely |
| Google force-indexing | ✓ $0.20/link | Often not included |
| Per-link status dashboard | ✓ | Rarely |
| Automatic refund if not indexed | ✓ 7-day guarantee | No |
| Pay only for results | ✓ | No |
| Tokens expire | Never | Often (monthly credits) |
Most indexers submit your URLs and call it done. Forgendo verifies, reports, and refunds. That’s the difference between a submission service and a backlink indexer that actually works.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between IndexNow and Google force-indexing?
IndexNow pings Bing and Yandex instantly — it’s free and fires automatically on every Forgendo publish. Google doesn’t support IndexNow, so Google indexing requires a separate API submission. That’s the paid layer: $0.20/link with a 7-day refund if it doesn’t land.
Can I use Forgendo to index backlinks I didn’t build with Forgendo?
Yes. Paste any URL into the Indexation dashboard and submit it for Google force-indexing. You don’t need to have published the page through Forgendo.
How quickly will my backlinks be indexed?
~78% of links submitted through Forgendo are indexed within 7 days. The exact timeline depends on Google’s crawl schedule for the hosting domain. Links on higher-authority domains tend to be indexed faster.
What happens if a link isn’t indexed after 7 days?
Tokens are refunded automatically. No support ticket, no manual request. The dashboard marks the link as refunded and credits the tokens back to your balance.
Do tokens expire?
No. Tokens are purchased once and stay in your account until used.
Is this the same as the cloud backlinks product?
No. Cloud backlinks is Forgendo’s publishing product — it generates and deploys SEO-optimized articles across 10 cloud platforms. The indexing service works on top of that (or independently for any existing backlinks). The 3 free links on the Free plan are cloud backlinks — indexing tokens are purchased separately.
Index your backlinks — from $0.20/link, refunded if it fails
No subscription. No expiry. Per-link status tracking.
