Has anyone found a better way to handle Google indexing workflows?

I’ve been improving my site indexing process recently and ran into an interesting limitation.

Google provides APIs for checking URL status, monitoring coverage, and submitting sitemaps. However, the one action many site owners actually want — the “Request Indexing” button in Search Console — does not appear to have a general public API.

My current workflow handles everything that can be automated:

• Checking URL indexing status

• Reviewing pages stuck in discovery or crawling stages

• Resubmitting sitemaps

• Creating a shortlist of pages that may need attention

The final step still requires manually reviewing the list and requesting indexing where needed.

I’m curious how other makers and SEO-focused builders handle this:

Do you have a workflow, tool, or process that helps improve indexing efficiency?

Or is manually requesting indexing still just part of the process when working with Google Search Console?
