# Ask Google to recrawl your URLs

> [!NOTE]
> Are you using a hosted content management platform (for example, Blogger or WordPress)? In most cases, the platform submits your new content to search engines automatically. Check your platform's support articles.


If you've recently added or made changes to a page on your site, you can request that Google
re-index your page using any of the methods listed here. You can't request indexing for URLs
that you don't manage.


Crawling can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Be patient and monitor progress
using either the
[Index Status report](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7440203)
or the
[URL Inspection tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Requesting a crawl does not guarantee that inclusion in search results will happen instantly or even at all. Our systems prioritize the fast inclusion of high quality, useful content.

## Use the URL Inspection tool (just a few URLs)


To request a crawl of individual URLs, use the
[URL Inspection tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289#request_indexing).
You must be an
[owner or full user of the Search Console property](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7687615)
to be able to request indexing in the URL Inspection tool.


Keep in mind that there's a quota for submitting individual URLs and requesting a recrawl
multiple times for the same URL won't get it crawled any faster.

## Submit a sitemap (many URLs at once)


If you have large numbers of URLs, submit a sitemap. A sitemap is an important way for Google
to discover URLs on your site. It can be very helpful if you just launched your site or
recently performed a
[site move](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes). A sitemap
can also include additional metadata about alternate language versions, video, image, or
news-specific pages.
