IndexCheckr vs SpeedyIndex
IndexCheckr vs SpeedyIndex — and the monitoring option
These two get pitted against each other, but they are not really the same tool. IndexCheckr tells you whether URLs are indexed (pay-as-you-go credits). SpeedyIndex tries to get URLs into the index (submission). So the real question is not 'which is better' — it's 'do you want to check, submit, or monitor?'
They’re solving different problems
IndexCheckr — check (credits)
A credit-based index checker and monitor. Good when your checking is occasional and you would rather pay per use than subscribe.
SpeedyIndex — submit / index
An indexing service that works to push your URLs into Google's index. The right category when pages simply are not getting indexed. It does not replace ongoing monitoring.
SearchOptimo — monitor (flat-rate)
A flat-rate subscription that re-checks the same URLs on a schedule, keeps 7–365 days of history, and alerts you when a page drops out — plus IndexNow submission for faster discovery.

Frequently asked questions
- Is IndexCheckr or SpeedyIndex better?
- Neither is universally better because they do different jobs: IndexCheckr checks index status, SpeedyIndex tries to get pages indexed. Choose by whether your problem is knowing status or getting indexed — and if it is watching status over time, that is a monitoring tool like SearchOptimo.
- Where does SearchOptimo fit between them?
- SearchOptimo is the ongoing-monitoring option: it verifies what is indexed and keeps re-checking on a schedule with history and alerts. Use an indexer to get pages in, a checker (or SearchOptimo) to confirm, and SearchOptimo to keep watching.
