IndexNow Beta

Get new and changed pages read by search engines sooner

Tells the search engines that support IndexNow, such as Bing, about new and changed pages the moment they are live: after approved changes, new pages and articles, or from a list you paste.

Why it matters

From the problem to what SEOmise does

The problem

Waiting for search engines to notice

You fix a title or publish a page, and search engines take days or weeks to read it again. Until then they show the old version.

What IndexNow does

Get new and changed pages read by search engines sooner

  • Key file placed for you. Through the site connector as a change you approve and can undo, or with simple steps.
  • Automatic notices. Sent after approved changes and new pages, without anyone remembering to.
  • Paste a list. Send notices for addresses you paste.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish

  1. Put the key file on your siteSearch engines accept notices only once your site answers at a small key file. The connector can add it after your approval, or you add it with the steps for your platform.
  2. Check the key fileSEOmise opens it on your live site. IndexNow is switched on only once the file answers.
  3. Notices go out by themselvesAfter approved changes and new pages or articles, or from a list of addresses you paste.
  4. See what was sentA log of every notice and what the search engines answered.

Honest about Google

Google does not use IndexNow; it reads your sitemap and Search Console, which SEOmise keeps current separately.

Before and after

What changes with IndexNow

Before: waiting to be read again. After: with IndexNow. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys, to compare.

Waiting to be read again

  • Old titles shown after a fix
  • New pages found late
  • No record of what was submitted

With IndexNow

  • Search engines told when a page changes
  • Notices sent without anyone remembering
  • A log with every answer

What it needs

No surprises after you sign up

The key file on your site

The key file on your site

Some hosted platforms do not allow files in the main folder; some send IndexNow notices themselves. The check tells you which applies.

Every platform

Whatever your site runs on

What IndexNow does on each kind of website, from SEOmise's site connectors to step-by-step guidance.

The plugin puts the key file on the site after your approval, and it can be undone.

Any PHP site

Custom PHP, CodeIgniter, Symfony, Drupal, Joomla

Does IndexNow help with Google?

No. Google does not use IndexNow. It reads your sitemap and Search Console.

What if my platform does not allow the key file?

After a few failed checks the page says IndexNow is not available on this site, with the reason. You can still press Check again once the file is there.
