Indexingstarter~2 minutes for a 5k-URL sitemap

Find URLs in my sitemap with zero impressions in 90 days (orphans)

URLs in your sitemap that haven't earned a single impression in 90 days are likely orphaned, thin, or duplicate.

The prompt

Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.

prompt
For my main Search Console property:

1. List every sitemap submitted to this property. For each, fetch the URL list.
2. Cross-reference the union of all sitemap URLs with Search Console performance data (impressions over the last 90 days). Flag every URL with exactly 0 impressions.
3. Batch-inspect the flagged URLs (up to 50 representative samples if the list is large). Note their indexed state.
4. For each flagged URL recommend ONE action: KEEP_AND_FIX (orphan that should rank), NOINDEX (low-value but useful for users), 301_TO_BEST (near-duplicate of a stronger page), or DELETE (should never have shipped).

Output as a Markdown table sorted by recommendation.

When to use it

Quarterly content audit. Orphans waste crawl budget and dilute site quality signals. Either fix them or remove them.

What you get back

  • List of every URL submitted in your sitemap(s) with zero impressions in the last 90 days.
  • Indexed status for each (URL Inspection, batched).
  • Recommendation per URL: KEEP_AND_FIX / NOINDEX / 301_TO_BEST / DELETE.

How this runs

GenieSeo doesn't execute prompts — your AI client does. Make sure your MCP URL is connected to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity. New here? Read the 60-second setup guide.
