WarpIndex Reviews

They cut off my LTD access and they asking me to get a paid plan, less than one year after subscription

What appeared to be a solid performing product has abruptly turned into a rip off. I purchased the highest tier and within 3 months the product quit working and I was outside my refund window. I reached out to WarpIndex Support numerous times about the product not working only to never get a response. What waste of money, time, and effort.

Absolute scam. It doesn't work anymore and they do not reply AT ALL! I'm never using appsumo again.

I did various tests with decent AI content, submitting 30+ pages to WarpIndex, and could auto-index a good portion of them (20% in 3 days), so the tool still works.

Message from WarpIndex to AppSumo Team:

We've been in touch with the WarpIndex team, and they have confirmed the tool is still operational and are committed to providing ongoing support for Sumo-lings. We understand there have been concerns about the auto-indexing feature, and the WarpIndex team provided more details on the performance of this feature, as shown below:

Many users have had sites that violate Google guidelines either because they have sensitive content or pages that have no or spam content. These pages do not get auto-indexed since Google refuses to index them in the first place. Our service auto-indexes pages that Google can accept in the first place. We explain this to users and close threads.

WarpIndex also detects errors on pages that prevent them from getting indexed (like duplicate content, 404 pages, etc.), highlights them in the dashboard, and naturally does not push them for indexing. We get a lot of tickets asking for help fixing these pages, which is outside the scope of our product.

Additionally, time to index pages can be highly variable since it depends on many factors, from content quality to the quality of the site and Google's capacity. So users sometimes see 100s of pages indexed on a day, then no pages for a few days, and then a burst of pages indexed again. We get at least a few dozen tickets daily, and users complain that "no page got indexed today" and "how much more time it will take to get indexed." We also check their site's replies with the reasons and inform them about the factors in play.


Original Review:

I was shocked: WarpIndex is the Superior Indexing Tool to URL Monitor.

You can't always trust reviews online, so I tested both software simultaneously.

The Test I did was to auto-index two of my test websites at the same time:

WarpIndex had the more significant test site, redstartattoo.com, at 604 pages.

URL Monitor had the smaller test site, datingdoes.com, at 169 pages

WarpIndex found all of the RST site pages within minutes, and URL Monitor never found all the DD pages within hours.

URL Monitor Can't find 136 posts on the datingdoes.com sitemap posts page, and the UI is not as aesthetically pleasing as WarpIndex's.

Warpindex 8 hours later indexed 50 pages of 604 pages found.

URL Index in 8 hours indexed five pages of 33 pages found

WarpIndex allows you to connect to multiple GSC accounts, while URL Index only allows you to connect to one.

I had to add DD.com to WarpIndex 8 hours later to find all 169 pages.

To set up URL Moniitor's Indexers, you have to set up 25 indexers, which takes 15-30 minutes, compared to WarpIndex, where you set up one Indexer, which takes 15-30 seconds.

A question for Shirin: Is the one Indexer we set up actually hooked up to multiple indexers on the backend since your software is so quick at indexing?

I was going to give URL Monitor 3 to 4 stars, but I couldn't even find any posts on DD.com!

I was in total shock. This is why you have to test yourself and not just read reviews online. I implore everyone to do their own tests as well. If you don't have time, I refund URL Monitor and go all in on Warp Index Tier 5.

Also, I apologize to Shirin since I left a question that garnered a massive amount of likes. I assumed URL Monitor was better at the time of WarpIndex's launch on Appsumo, but boy, I was wrong!

She and her team had to fight an uphill battle right when she launched on AppSumo, but if you need to know which software is better, that is easy. WarpIndex deserves 5 stars for its stellar performance, especially with what is coming on the roadmap.

from 5🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 to 1🌮 warpindex fail again not working.
The transaction rating has declined from 5 taco to 1 due to a recurring issue with the warp index functionality. It is expected that support should respond to any concerns raised; however, there has been no communication from their end.

Both my sites have been stuck on 44% and 48% for the last two months.
And of course this happens a month after I cannot get a refund in appsumo.

With policy changes at Google, this app vaporized into dust. Unfortunately, the CEO made a decision to ghost us when asked directly about the future of her app which reveals her business ethics.

unfortunately support is so weak, system is not working properly :(

After testing WarpIndex for several months, I am extremely disappointed with the results. Despite following the setup instructions carefully and ensuring all configurations were correct, the tool simply does not work as advertised.

No Indexing Results: The primary purpose of the tool—indexing pages—was not achieved. After months of testing, the pages still remain unindexed, rendering the tool ineffective.

No Transparency in Functionality: There is little to no feedback or transparency about what the tool is doing in the background. It’s impossible to determine whether it’s even attempting to index the pages or if the issue lies elsewhere.

Poor Troubleshooting Support: Even after reconnecting and resetting the entire setup multiple times to rule out configuration errors, nothing changed. The tool offers no clear error messages or troubleshooting guidelines to address the issue.

Lack of Documentation or Support: The support provided by the company is minimal at best. The documentation is vague and doesn’t offer any concrete steps to resolve common problems.

Overpromised, Underdelivered: WarpIndex makes bold claims about its capabilities, but in practice, it fails to deliver on these promises. It feels more like a marketing gimmick than a reliable solution.

Time-Consuming and Frustrating: After spending countless hours trying to make it work, I can confidently say that the effort is not worth it. It’s a waste of both time and money.

If you are looking for an alternative solution, I strongly recommend exploring other services. WarpIndex does not provide any value and fails at its core functionality. Avoid this tool and save yourself the frustration.

Support was always hard to get a hold of but now it's been a few months since I bought this and nothing seems to work and support has just disappeared. Have a chat ticket I've been following up on for almost a week with no response.

Well, I asked the authors of this product if the app was even still working?
And received a big fat No Response so I guess that is a big fat NO it is not working.
It's a shame because of course the app stopped working 1 day after the refund period ended.
How convenient was that for the author?
I think instead of a taco rating they should get a custard pie award.

Update: The app has stopped working for me altogether. Along with my previous issues, I cannot see past the first 10 links. Links aren't being submitted and after over a month of reporting this to them with no response, and getting Appsumo involved, they still have not fixed the issues or replied to me even though they are telling Appsumo they have reached out.

Initial Review:
This app has stopped working, and no one responds to support questions. I have to manually submit my URLs to Google for indexing. I wish I could get a refund, but conveniently, the app stopped working right outside of my refund window. I feel robbed.

Looking at the questions and the reviews, it looks like the last Google indexing update did indeed cause their indexing to stop.

I was in denial for a while, I really wanted it to work but it didn't. The product is actually really awesome, if they rehashed it as an indexing tracker (without the indexing because the API no longer works) it would be a solid product and I'd buy again because it was awesome in that function even whent he indexing didn't work.

Unfortunately their lack of replies make me think they gave up.

It doesn't scan the sitemap automatically as it claims. My sitemap is scanned 3 days ago. Every time I need to log in to Warpindex, manually navigate and click the
"site > bulk-index > select-sitemap > submit button", which is ridiculous.

The only thing it should do is "automatically scan the sitemap and submit it to Google", and IT"S NOT WORKING.

I wonder what the tagline is about: "Automate website indexing on Google to ensure....."

At first glance could not decide which is better, so I bought Warp index and URL monitor one after another.

WarpIndex did a fast and good job with a small site (less than 100 pages), but when started working on a site with more than 350 pages I noticed no improvement at all.

Job started around 24th September and immediately got 1 more page indexed.
Now, after 13 days, the situation is not only the same (even if Warp Index suggest to wait only few days), but reported number of pages indexed by Google is now LESS than before starting job with WarpIndex.

Furthermore, support is nonexistent, never got a reply from them...
Thanks

I have never written a bad review on any of the many products I've purchased here. I keep getting error messages and used the support chatbot to help since WarpIndex has yet to be able to do any indexing . It said it couldn't help me but would get someone else to help. That was 7 days ago. Two days ago I sent a support email and still haven't heard back. I see others have had the same non-response from support.

After Zachary47's review below I'm also thinking of refunding. I checked my site using Google's Search Console and with a real estate website with thousands of listings that show up on every other site that uses IDX, I'm happy that many pages are indexed (including some listings), especially my blog posts, which are really the only unique content on the website.

very useful!

"I was initially frustrated because none of my site's pages were indexed. However, thanks to Warpindex, my pages are now indexed, and my site has gained significant visibility. I'm thrilled with Warpindex and highly recommend it to anyone aiming to boost their website traffic.

Google's Indexing API has very clear usage rules:

"The Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject."

Source: https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/quickstart

To use Warpindex, you need to add the service as an owner to your Google Search Console account. Warpindex then uses the Indexing API in a prohibited manner:

"Warpindex {...] works by using our own web crawlers and certain Google tools like the Search Console and Indexing API.

[...]

Now, Google recommends using the Indexing API mainly for specific types of content like job postings or events, but it can handle other pages too, as long as there aren't any technical SEO issues. We've been using it for a while now without any problems." Source: https://help.warpindex.com/en/articles/21-how-does-warpindex-work-is-this-magic

Warpindex is lying to users. Google EXPLICITLY PROHIBITS using the Indexing API for any purpose except indexing the two types of listings shared above.

Multiple users have asked Shirin, the founder, to explain this contradiction in the Questions section. She has ignored these questions for days and cannot give a satisfactory answer. The Indexing API is not meant to be used the way Warpindex uses it.

I bought Tier 5 and will be refunding my purchase as soon as I submit this review. Use this tool at your own risk.

November 4, 2024 update:

Shirin responded to my review the same day (September 27, 2024) and deleted it minutes later. I only know this because AppSumo notified me that the review had been responded to. Because all the contents of the response had been deleted, it didn't show publicly that a response had been made.

Three weeks later, Shirin edited the review with the current reply. It appeared out of nowhere as if it were the original reply, which it wasn't, and I believe that was intentional.

Everything in Shirin's response is untrue.

1: Shirin and her team did not respond to multiple users asking how WarpIndex was able to use Google's Indexing API. A simple review of the questions will show that users continue to ask questions with no response. This is on par with the lack of response from Warpindex's customer support.

2: Shrin's response that Warpindex doesn't use the "API to crawl your pages" is irony at its finest. Shirin believes that the statement "The Indexing API can only be used to crawl pages with either JobPosting or BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject" is my statement when, in fact, it's a word-for-word quote from Google. For the record, as stated in the review and the original product listing, Warpindex does claim to use Google's Indexing API in exactly that manner, which violates Google's rules.

3: Shirin claims she clarified all this in a chat with me. I have never chatted with Shirin or communicated with her outside of AppSumo. Unfortunately, many AppSumo members have tried to open support tickets and have gotten no responses from Shirin or the Warpindex team.

4: Lastly, Shirin claims I "mislead" users after using WarpIndex to index 1000s of my own pages. The pages in question were already indexed in Google Search Console due to years of best practices, accurate sitemaps, and the SEO solutions used on the website. Warpindex could not complete a futile attempt at indexing pages already in GSC. Even though I waited three or four days, the indexing status never reached 100 percent after the website was connected.

It doesn't index properly, the pages are indexed and it doesn't reindex, and the support is the worst I've ever seen, they don't respond, they don't give you any idea of ​​what's going on.

If you want to waste your money, buy this product.
