SearchOptimo vs SpeedyIndex
SearchOptimo vs SpeedyIndex: the honest comparison
SpeedyIndex is an indexing / submission service — its job is to help get your URLs into Google's index (it offers index checking alongside).
No trash talk and no invented prices — just an honest read on which tool fits, including when SpeedyIndex is the better buy.
SpeedyIndex and SearchOptimo do different jobs
This is the honest part, up front: SpeedyIndex is a submission/indexing service. You give it URLs and it works to push them into the index. SearchOptimo does not do that — we don't force or submit your pages to make Google index them. If your problem is 'my pages aren't getting indexed at all,' an indexing service like SpeedyIndex is the right category, and we'd send you there.
Where SearchOptimo fits
Where SearchOptimo fits is the step before and after indexing: verifying what is actually in the index, watching it on a schedule, keeping history, and alerting you the day something drops out. Plenty of people use both — an indexer to get pages in, SearchOptimo to confirm and monitor that they stay in. We do offer IndexNow submission, but that's discovery signalling to help search engines find new and updated URLs faster — not the forced-indexing service SpeedyIndex provides.
Scheduled re-checks
Group URLs into campaigns and have their index status re-checked automatically — not just once.
History retention
Keep a record of index status over time, from 7 days on the free tier up to 365 days on Elite.
Drop alerts
Get notified when a monitored page changes index status, so a de-indexed page does not go unnoticed.
IndexNow submission
Submit URLs to IndexNow so search engines discover new and updated pages faster.
