search_console_url_inspection_inspect
Inspect a URL's indexing state using Search Console's URL Inspection API to diagnose why a page isn't ranking. Returns verdict, coverage state, crawl time, and mobile usability.
Instructions
Inspect a single URL's indexing state via the Search Console URL Inspection API. Returns the raw inspectionResult envelope: {inspectionResult:{inspectionResultLink (live UI URL), indexStatusResult:{verdict ('PASS'|'PARTIAL'|'FAIL'|'NEUTRAL'), coverageState (string, e.g. 'Submitted and indexed' / 'Crawled - currently not indexed' / 'Discovered - currently not indexed'), robotsTxtState, indexingState, lastCrawlTime (ISO 8601), pageFetchState, googleCanonical, userCanonical, referringUrls, sitemap}, mobileUsabilityResult, richResultsResult?, ampResult?}}. Read-only; no re-indexing is triggered. Rate limit: Search Console caps inspection at ~2000 URLs per property per day. Use this to debug why a specific page isn't ranking. For site-wide coverage numbers use search_console_sitemaps_list; for organic-performance metrics use search_console_analytics_query.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| site_url | Yes | Property identifier as registered in Search Console. For URL-prefix properties use the full URL including trailing slash (e.g. 'https://example.com/'). For Domain properties use the 'sc-domain:' prefix (e.g. 'sc-domain:example.com'). The property must be verified and accessible to the authenticated Google account. | |
| inspection_url | Yes | Absolute URL to inspect (e.g. 'https://example.com/about'). Must be under site_url's property; cross-property inspection is rejected by the API. |
