IndexNow: Submit Pages to Search Engines via API
IndexNow is a free, open protocol that lets you push URL changes directly to participating search engines - no waiting for crawlers. In this post I walk through what it is, which engines actually support it, when it's worth using, and how to submit pages via the API. I'll also share a script that parses your sitemap and submits everything in one bulk request, plus the tools I reach for to keep submissions running automatically.
