IndexNow

Ping supported engines when you publish or update URLs.

IndexNow tells participating search engines about URL changes quickly. Seofyme pings on publish and serves the key file so setup stays inside WordPress.

Highlights

  • Ping on publish and update
  • IndexNow key file support
  • Pairs with XML sitemaps
  • No separate indexing plugin required

Faster discovery loops

Sitemaps remain essential; IndexNow adds a push channel when content changes.

Simple operations

Seofyme handles the key file route so you are not manually uploading verification files over FTP.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enable IndexNow

    Turn the module on in Seofyme settings.

  2. 2

    Publish or update content

    Seofyme sends the ping for the URL.

  3. 3

    Confirm key file

    Verify the IndexNow key URL resolves publicly.
