Independent ranking of link indexing services
IndexTop.io is run by a small editorial team of SEO specialists, developers and analysts. We test every service ourselves — on real domains, by a single methodology. Placement can't be bought: the editors set the order using indexing metrics, prices and user reviews.
We do not publish reviewer names — this protects evaluations from pressure by service owners.
How the editorial team works
Four functional departments are responsible for the ranking. We intentionally do not disclose reviewer names — this protects evaluations from direct pressure by service owners. If you need feedback on specific material — write to contacts, the responsible department will reply.
SEO editorial
Describes every service by a single template: what it does, which search engines it works with, what the real indexing time is. Owns factuality and wording.
Technical department
Responsible for the technical side of the project: keeps the catalog, the ranking and the comparison pages running and makes sure the data on them stays up to date.
QA team
Reviews every service before it is added to the catalog and checks that the metrics it claims match reality.
Blacklist team
Tracks services that start cheating: inflate metrics, fail to index, refuse refunds. Maintains the public registry and rationale.
How we test
Every service goes through the same procedure: the same links, the same search engines, the same observation depth. This gives us comparable metrics — not a "general impression".
Avg. Index Rate
indexed / submitted × 100%
The main metric: percent of links that actually entered the Google index after submission.
First Visit
submitted → first Googlebot visit
Hours from link submission to the first Googlebot hit on the page. Minimum — instant, maximum — refusal to process.
First Indexation
submitted → indexed
Time from submission to the page appearing in the index. This is what the service is bought for.
Same criteria for every service
criteria(A) = criteria(B)
Every service is assessed against the same criteria, so the figures in the catalog and on comparison pages can be compared directly. The numbers change over time: treat them as a guide, not a guarantee of results for your own links.
Prices — from the starter tier
min(packages[].price_per_link)
On the card and in comparisons we show the minimum price per link — what a new customer would pay with the smallest top-up. Not the rate from the top-tier "from 100,000 links" package (always lower but requires a deposit dozens of times larger). The full price list with every tier is always available on the service page.
Reviews → rating
AVG(reviews.rating WHERE approved)
The score next to each service is the average of reviews approved by our moderators. Most were collected from public discussions (BlackHatWorld, Trustpilot, Telegram); a few were left on IndexTop.io. The score is one input: the editors set the final order.
What sources we rely on
We try to link to primary sources rather than paraphrase. If a guide says "according to Google" — there will be a link to the specific Search Central document next to it.
Transparency and monetization
Some links on the site are referral links. If you click such a link and pay for the service, we receive a small commission. This has no effect on the service's position in the ranking. The editors set the order using indexing metrics, prices and user reviews.
If a service that was in the ranking starts cheating users (inflates metrics, fails to index, refuses refunds) — we move it to the blacklist regardless of whether we have a referral program with it.
