Query: I wish to know if I can use Indexing API for an actual property web site (as an actual property advert).
Reply: I strongly suggest checking the docs for Indexing API. So far as I bear in mind, it is restricted to simply job postings and broadcast occasions, and never for the rest. It would nonetheless work, however because it’s supposed for these two issues, I would not be stunned if out of the blue it stopped working for unsupported verticals in a single day.

As a reminder, the Google Indexing API ought to simply be used for job postings and reside stream content material – nothing else. John Mueller of Google not too long ago stated most websites that use the Indexing API wrongfully are spammy and or low high quality.
Google has stated in the event you use it for different functions it will not work. Many who’ve tried it through the years stated it really works to get your content material listed quick however then it drops out of the index shortly after. So it looks like Gary’s assertion is extra correct.
