Indexing backlinks is often the most frustrating part of SEO—sometimes links sit for weeks without getting crawled. The method below leverages Google’s preference for instantly crawling News and Job posts to push your backlink pages into the index.
Step 1: Create a News or Jobs Domain
- Buy a fresh domain (or use an existing one) and set it up as a News site or Job listings site.
- Example:
dailyjobupdates.comorfastlocalnews.com - The niche doesn’t really matter—it just needs to look like a legitimate content hub.
Pro Tip: Use WordPress or a lightweight CMS so you can bulk-publish easily.
Step 2: Bulk Publish Content (200–300 Posts)
- Use ChatGPT or another AI tool to generate 200–300 short news or job posts.
- Keep them realistic, for example:
- “Hiring: Sales Associate in Chicago”
- “Breaking News: Local Roadwork Updates in New York”
- These posts don’t need to rank, their job is to get crawled instantly.
Pro Tip: Schedule publishing in batches (50–100 per day) to look natural.
Step 3: Add Proper Schema (Critical)
- Google loves structured data for News & Jobs.
- Use
JobPostingschema for job listings orNewsArticleschema for news.
Example for NewsArticle schema:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "NewsArticle",
"headline": "Local Construction Project Delayed",
"datePublished": "2025-08-26",
"dateModified": "2025-08-26",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "John Doe"
},
"publisher": {
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Daily News Hub",
"logo": {
"@type": "ImageObject",
"url": "https://dailynewshub.com/logo.png"
}
}
}
This schema helps Google’s News & Job Crawler (GoogleBot News) pick it up very quickly.

Step 4: Force Indexing in Google Search Console
- Add your domain to Google Search Console.
- Submit your new posts via URL Inspection Tool → “Request Indexing.”
- Since your posts have News/Job schema, they usually index within minutes (sometimes seconds).
Step 5: Redirect Indexed Post to Your Backlink
- Once the post is indexed:
- Redirect it (301 or meta-refresh) to your target backlink URL.
- This way, when Googlebot revisits the indexed News/Job post, it gets sent directly to your backlink page.
Pro Tip: You can also embed the backlink in the post before redirecting to give it double exposure.

Things to Keep in Mind
- Don’t spam Google with thousands of thin pages daily—spread publishing naturally.
- Rotate between NewsArticle schema and JobPosting schema to avoid footprints.
- Always test on a small batch before scaling to thousands of backlinks.
- For high-authority links (guest posts, niche edits), this trick ensures they get indexed fast.
Conclusion
Using a News/Jobs schema site is one of the fastest and simplest ways to index backlinks in 2025. With this method, instead of waiting weeks, you can often get backlinks indexed within hours.
It means Google (or another search engine) finds the page that contains the backlink, crawls it, and adds it into its index so that the backlink is counted in ranking signals.
A backlink gives no SEO value until it’s indexed — if Google doesn’t see it, it won’t pass link equity.
It can vary — from a few hours or days to weeks or even months. Some never get indexed.
Use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection → Request Indexing on the page containing the backlink.
Yes — ping tools notify search engines there’s a new or updated URL, prompting re-crawl.
Yes — linking to that page from your own site (or related content) helps signals flow and can get crawlers to visit it.
They can — sharing the backlink-containing page on social media (with engagement) can increase crawl signals.
Links from low-quality sites, pages blocked by robots.txt or “noindex,” broken links, or duplicate content pages.
Many are used in practice (e.g. IndexKings, OneHourIndexing, Omega, Indexification) — but results vary, and they must be used carefully to avoid spammy signals.
Submit the backlink page via URL Inspection in GSC.
Ping the URL using a trusted ping service.
Share the page on social media.
Link internally to that page.
Use indexing tools if needed.
Monitor status and repeat if not indexed.
