The problem
This store’s WooCommerce catalogue holds around 410 URLs, and Google’s index for it moves in both directions: pages get indexed, then some quietly drop back out days or weeks later. A one-time submission push doesn’t solve that. The catalogue needed daily tracking, not a single fix.
What I did
- Pulled every URL from Search Console and classified its exact index status
- Logged 1,006+ manual submissions across 118+ days of daily indexing work
- Set up per-URL tracking on the roughly 410 sitemap URLs so drops are visible fast
- Caught pages that fell back out of the index after being indexed, and resubmitted them
- Reported the indexed count on a regular cadence, so the client saw real movement, not just totals
- Continued the engagement as a recurring monthly order, now the seventh from the same client
This is the exact pattern behind the monthly maintenance plans: pages don’t stay indexed forever, so someone has to keep checking. That checking is now a standing monthly order on this account.
