Why Tell Search Engines About Changes?
Search engines normally find new and updated pages when their crawlers get around to them. That can take time, especially for a new post, a fixed typo or a changed price.
IndexNow gives your site a faster way to speak up. Each time content changes, your site sends a short notice to the IndexNow endpoint, and participating search engines share it with each other. KudoMetrics IndexNow sends that notice for you, straight from WordPress.
Microsoft reported that IndexNow accounted for 17% of all newly clicked URLs in web search results (Search Engine Land). Sites that speak up first get crawled first.

Does Google support IndexNow?
No. Google doesn't take part in IndexNow, so the Free plugin doesn't send anything to Google. If you also want Google indexing information inside WordPress, the Pro add-on further down adds it.
Free: Automatic URL Submission to Bing and More
Engineered for high-traffic WordPress websites. Lightweight, automatic, and zero database bloat.
Automatic Submission on Publish and Update
Eligible content of your selected post types is immediately dispatched to participating search engines the moment you hit Publish or Update. Autosaves and revisions are safely skipped.
> Published: /blog/how-to-grow-organic-traffic/
> Dispatched to IndexNow API · HTTP 200 OK (34ms)
Virtual Verification Key URL
Generates an automatic 32-character hexadecimal key served virtually from your root domain without physical file creation or FTP access.
Permanent Deletion Notices
When a published post or page is permanently deleted, the plugin sends a deletion notice so search engines know the page is removed. Moving to Trash doesn't trigger notices.
Single & Bulk Submissions
Paste a single URL into Send One Page Link for instant verification, or submit up to 500 published posts and pages in one request under Send All Website Pages.
Adjustable Speed Limits
Controls how many pages your site submits per minute (5 to 200 pages/min). Keeps your hosting server fast and prevents overwhelming endpoints during bulk jobs.
Works Alongside Your Existing SEO Plugin
Seamlessly coexists with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and Squirrly. Handles real-time IndexNow push without touching your existing meta tags or XML sitemaps.
Public Post Types & WooCommerce Products
Choose any registered public post type in WordPress admin. Automatically pushes newly added products, stock updates, portfolio items, or custom post types.
Who Is It Built For?
Tailored workflows for single-author blogs, multi-category publishers, e-commerce stores, and technical agencies.
Bloggers, News & Content Publishers
Send new posts and updates to IndexNow search engines without lifting a finger.
The Problem
Publishing breaking news, timely guides, or trending topics only to wait days or weeks for crawlers to discover them.
How IndexNow Solves It
Automatic trigger fires the exact second you hit Publish. Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Yep are pinged instantly, putting your latest content in front of readers faster.
Pro Add-on: Google Indexing Visibility in WordPress
KudoMetrics IndexNow Pro is a premium WordPress add-on that extends the Free plugin with Google Search Console integration, indexing-status monitoring, Google Indexing API notifications, and additional reporting tools. Pro doesn't replace the Free plugin. Install and activate the Free plugin first, then the Pro add-on, and keep the Free plugin active. If the Free plugin isn't active, Pro won't activate.

Connect Google Search Console
Connect your site to Google with your own Google Cloud service account. In Google Cloud you turn on the Indexing API and the Search Console API, create a service account and download its JSON key. In Search Console you add the service account's email address as an Owner of your property. Then, under Settings in URL Submission Pro, upload the key under Service Account Key, choose your Search Console Property and click Test Connection.
Google URL inspection tool in WordPress
Check the indexing and coverage information Google reports for a page without opening Search Console. Use Check One Page on the Google Pro Workbench, or run a Live Check on Google from the page's own post screen. Pro is set up for up to 2,000 URL inspections per day, subject to Google's quotas and permissions, and the workbench shows how many you've used today. URL Inspection shows what Google reports about a page. It doesn't request indexing, and it doesn't provide guaranteed real-time data.
Indexing-status monitoring
Pro records the indexing information Google returns for your pages, so you can follow supported status changes over time instead of checking pages one by one. Index Tracker & History lists each tracked page as On Google, Waiting or Needs Attention, with its last and next check and a timeline for each page. After a page is sent, Pro re-checks it automatically: about a day later, on day 3, and then weekly. Checks run in the background on a schedule, so the information is not real-time. Activity History keeps a record of every check and submission made to Google.
Smart Queue to save your daily Google quota
Google limits how many Indexing API notifications you can send each day, so Pro doesn't send everything blindly. The Smart Queue first inspects a page in Search Console and skips it when Google already reports it as indexed. It runs in the background on a schedule, and you can switch Enable Smart-Queue Engine and Skip URLs Already Indexed on Google on or off in Settings. Pro builds on the publish, update and delete events from the Free plugin, so new and updated content can join the queue automatically.
Google Indexing API notifications
Pro can send URL update and deletion notifications to Google through the Google Indexing API. This is separate from URL inspection and from IndexNow. Pro is set up for up to 200 Google Indexing API notifications per day, subject to Google's quotas. Sending a URL doesn't guarantee that Google will crawl or index it. Google Indexing API functionality is subject to Google's permissions and API quotas. Submission does not guarantee crawling or indexing.
Email alerts and reports
Turn on email alerts to hear when Search Console confirms that a page's indexing state has changed. Choose the recipient, decide whether alerts arrive as each issue or recovery happens or as a daily summary, and switch on a weekly indexing report. You can send a test email or preview a report before you rely on them.
Inside your WordPress screens
The Posts and Pages lists get a Google Index column plus row and bulk actions, and each post screen gets a Google Index Status box where you can check or send that page. On the Google Pro Workbench you can paste a list of links, one per line, and send them in one go.
How to Add IndexNow to WordPress (Step by Step)
No API account, no manual file uploads, and zero developer skills required. Up and running in 2 minutes.
Install and activate
Install KudoMetrics IndexNow from WordPress.org. Your verification key is created for you automatically, and posts and pages are submitted from the start.
Choose what to send
Posts and pages are included by default. To change that, open URL Submission in your admin menu, check your post types under Allowed Post Types in Send Pages Automatically, and click Save My Settings.
Catch up on existing content
Under Send All Website Pages, click Send All My Pages Now to submit your existing published content.
Let it run
From then on, eligible content is submitted when you publish or update it. Check Pages Sent History any time to see what was sent and how the endpoint responded.
Privacy and Google API Access
The Free plugin sends requests directly from your WordPress server to the IndexNow endpoint. Pro connects to Google's APIs directly from your server (indexing.googleapis.com and searchconsole.googleapis.com) using the service account key you provide. When you activate or check your license, Pro sends your license key and site URL to KudoMetrics (api.kudometrics.com). Pro stores your Google credentials, queue status and indexing history on your WordPress site, and Google's own terms and API limits apply. See our privacy information and documentation for details.
