Three steps from a fresh page to a search engine notification.
Enter your domain. We generate a 32-character IndexNow key and show the exact file to upload: https://yourdomain.com/<key>.txt. It must return the key as plain text.
We fetch your key file to prove you control the domain. Then we read robots.txt and the common sitemap paths, follow nested sitemap indexes, and clean tracking parameters and duplicates.
URLs go to the IndexNow endpoint in batches. We retry on 429/5xx with backoff and store the engine's answer for every URL, so you can see exactly what happened.
| IndexNow (what we do) | Google Indexing API | |
|---|---|---|
| Engines | Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, Yep | |
| Verification | Host a .txt key file | Search Console owner access |
| Eligibility | Any page you own | Job postings and livestream pages only |
| Offered by us | Yes | No — it would not work for normal pages |
We would rather sell one thing that works than two where one is a decoration.
No. IndexNow notifies participating engines that a URL changed; the engine still decides whether to crawl and index it. What we guarantee is delivery and a truthful status log.
If an engine answers 429 we back off and retry. If it still refuses, those URLs are marked as failed and are not charged against your quota.
No. IndexNow verification is a plain text file at your domain root. We never ask for Google or Bing account access.
Because IndexNow is a ping, not a crawl. A large run and a fast repeat run of the same host is exactly what engines throttle — and the host they throttle is yours. So we pace it: 60 seconds between submissions, 20 submissions an hour, and URLs already accepted in the last 7 days are skipped unless you tick "Send again anyway". The dashboard shows the countdown. It protects your domain; it is not something you can buy away.
Yandex, Seznam and Yep re-read your key file when they receive a ping. If the file is not reachable (wrong path, blocked by a firewall, or not live yet) they refuse the URL. Bing usually answers 202 first and validates later. Fix the key file, press "Check now", and submit again.
