IMPORT · WEB PAGES
Crawl a website or sitemap into NotebookLM
Short answer
To load documentation or a blog into a notebook, use the website import in NotebookLM Ultra Exporter Pro. It collects links from a start page or sitemap by depth, same-domain rule and page budget, shows the candidates, and imports the pages you select as sources.
Quick facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where | Import center, website / sitemap method |
| Plan | Pro |
| Allowance | Pro only. No extension daily quota; individual tools still have task caps. |
| Data flow | The material you select is sent to Google NotebookLM. Capture reads the source site from your browser. |
Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Connect Pro: open the extension's account panel and sign in with the Google account you bought Pro with.
- Open the import center and choose the website method.
- Enter the start URL or sitemap and set depth, same-domain and page budget.
- Review the candidate list, tick the pages to import and submit.
Limits to know
- Site permissions, crawl rules and page state can limit what is collected.
- It runs in your browser while it is open. It is not an always-on cloud crawler.
- Each page is one source, so a large site can fill a notebook quickly.
- Google's own limits still apply: sources per notebook, file size and accepted file types are decided by NotebookLM, and Pro does not raise them.
Free or Pro?
Requires Ultra Exporter Pro (annual or one-time). Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to crawl a website or sitemap into NotebookLM?
No. This import method is part of Ultra Exporter Pro. The basic methods (links, pasted text, files, tabs, the current page, RSS and YouTube) are free within 20 imports per day.
Can I re-check the site for new pages later?
Yes. Save the configuration as an import recipe and, with Pro, schedule checks; previously imported content is skipped.
What happens if a source is already in the notebook?
The import preview flags duplicates and items already in the target notebook, and you can skip them. If you import the same page again on purpose, NotebookLM creates a second copy.
