IndexNow is a small SEO WordPress Plugin for quickly notifying search engines whenever their website content is created, updated, or deleted.
Improve your SEO rankings by taking control of the crawling and indexing process, so search engines know what to focus on!
Once installed, it detects pages/terms creation/update/deletion in WordPress and automatically submits the URLs in the background via IndexNow, Google API, Bing API, and Yandex API protocols.
It ensures that search engines invariably have the latest updates about your site.
🤖 What is IndexNow?
IndexNow is an easy way for websites owners to instantly inform search engines about latest content changes on their website. In its simplest form, IndexNow is a simple ping so that search engines know that a URL and its content has been added, updated, or deleted, allowing search engines to quickly reflect this change in their search results.
Without IndexNow, it can take days to weeks for search engines to discover that the content has changed, as search engines don’t crawl every URL often. With IndexNow, search engines know immediately the ”URLs that have changed, helping them prioritize crawl for these URLs and thereby limiting organic crawling to discover new content.”
IndexNow is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has support from Microsoft Bing, Yandex.
✅ Requirement for search engines
Search Engines adopting the IndexNow protocol agree that submitted URLs will be automatically shared with all other participating Search Engines. To participate, search engines must have a noticeable presence in at least one market.
