How to Get a List of All Google Indexed Pages of Your Website?

Have you ever wondered how to get all the links that are indexed on Google?

Have you ever wondered how to get all the links that are indexed on Google?

There are three methods:

1. Using search operators (if you have a small number of pages)
2. Using Search Console (if you have a medium number of pages)
3. Extracting pages using an Analytics for Sheets extension (if you have a large number of pages)

Let's go through each one.

1. Using Search Operators to Get a List of All Google Indexed Pages of Your Website #

If you think you have only a few pages on your website and you can manually copy and paste them from your SERP results, then this method is for you.

In this first method, we use a search operator: "site:".

site:theseocentral.com

What are search operators? A search operator, also known as a search parameter, is a character or string of characters used in a search engine query to narrow the search's focus. Search operators can be symbol characters or command phrases that modify the results or intent of a search.

Step 1: Go to Google.

If you are reading this, you already know how to go to Google.

Step 2: Type "site:" in the search bar followed by your domain name.

In Google's search bar, type site: followed by your domain name. If you want to get a list of pages indexed for example.com, type site:example.com in the search bar. Then hit enter.

Step 3: Count the links.

Use this method only if you think you can count your pages — you'll see results like this:

Just count and sort them. But what to do if you have hundreds of links? Read on.

2. Using Search Console to Get a List of All Google Indexed Pages of Your Website #

If you have hundreds of pages on your website and you want to know how many pages are indexed in Google, you can use Search Console and export them.

Step 1: Go to Search Console.

Go to search.google.com/search-console.

You'll need to have already connected your domain with Search Console; if not, connect your domain first.

Step 2: Go to the "Pages" tab in GSC.

After opening Google Search Console, click on the Pages tab on the left side.

Step 3: Toggle to indexed pages.

Uncheck the "not indexed" box and keep "indexed" checked.

Click "View data about indexed pages."

Here you can see a list of URLs that are indexed on Google.

You can copy them from there or export them.

Step 4: Export indexed pages to a Google Sheet.

In the top right corner, there's an export button. Click it and export the list of URLs to a spreadsheet of your choice.

Now you'll get the complete list of URLs indexed on Google.

But the catch with this method is you can only export up to 1,000 URLs. So what do you do when you have more than 1,000 pages indexed and want them listed?

3. Using the Search Analytics for Sheets Plugin (For 1,000+ URLs) #

If you have more than 1,000 URLs and want to list all Google-indexed pages, this is the method for you.

Step 1: Create a blank Google Sheet.

Open Google Sheets and create a blank sheet.

Step 2: Install the Search Analytics for Sheets plugin.

Install the plugin by clicking Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.

A window pops up — search for "Search Analytics for Sheets" and install the extension by Mihal Aperghis.

Click the install button.

Follow the steps and install the extension on the same Google account that your domain is connected to in GSC.

Step 3: Open the Search Analytics for Sheets extension.

Open the extension by going to Extensions > Search Analytics for Sheets > Open Sidebar.

A sidebar will open after this step.

Step 4: Configure the extension for extracting indexed pages.

1. Select the domain from which you want the data to be extracted.

2. Leave the date range untouched.
3. In the "group by" section, select "pages."

4. Then hit the "Request Data" button.

Wait for some time and:

You will get the complete list of URLs indexed on Google along with their clicks, impressions, and CTR data.
