How the tool works

  1. 1

    Fetch and validate sitemap

    Server-side fetch with a strict XML check. Accepts <urlset> and <sitemapindex> roots, follows child sitemaps one level deep, deduplicates, and caps at 10,000 URLs per the IndexNow spec.

  2. 2

    Verify key ownership

    Before any submission, we GET https://{your-domain}/{key}.txt and confirm the body equals the key. If anything is off (404, HTML, wrong content), we tell you why and never call IndexNow.

  3. 3

    Submit to all engines in parallel

    One JSON POST per engine, fired concurrently to the IndexNow global endpoint plus Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, and Yep. You see each engine's HTTP status and response time.

  4. 4

    Optional: remember on this browser

    Your sitemap URL and key live only in localStorage — never sent or stored on our side. Disable the toggle to opt out, or hit ‘Forget saved values’ at any time.

Setting up your IndexNow API key

IndexNow uses a simple ownership-by-hosting model. You upload a small text file to your domain root that contains a key, and search engines verify ownership by fetching that file.

  1. 1

    Generate a key

    Create a unique 8–128 character key (letters, digits, dashes). A UUID without dashes works perfectly.

  2. 2

    Create a .txt file

    Name the file exactly your-key.txt. The file's only content must be the key string itself.

  3. 3

    Upload to your site root

    Place it at https://yourdomain.com/your-key.txt and verify it loads in a browser.

  4. 4

    Submit your sitemap

    Paste your sitemap URL above, paste the key, then click Submit. We verify ownership and POST to every IndexNow engine.

Need a key? Any UUID generator works — strip the dashes for a cleaner format, e.g. 659f4c2f3cd74b7dad07b2792c109725.

Engines we submit to

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does IndexNow take to index a page?

Typically within hours. Most participating engines process submissions in under 24 hours, compared to the 3–5 days traditional crawling can take. Exact timing depends on the engine and your site’s authority.

Is IndexNow free?

Yes. IndexNow is an open protocol supported by Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, Yep, and others — completely free. This submission tool is also free with no account required.

Does Google support IndexNow?

Not as of 2026. Google uses its own systems and the URL Inspection API in Search Console. However, IndexNow covers Bing (which powers ChatGPT web search and Microsoft Copilot), Yandex, Naver, Seznam, and Yep — meaningful coverage for AI visibility. Use both Google Search Console and this tool for full coverage.

Can I submit multiple URLs at once?

Yes — up to 10,000 URLs per request. The tool fetches your sitemap (including sitemap index files), deduplicates the URLs, and submits them as a single batch to every engine in parallel.

How does the tool verify my IndexNow key?

Before any submission, the tool fetches https://{your-domain}/{your-key}.txt and confirms its contents exactly match the key you entered. If the file is missing, returns a non-200, or contains a different value, submission is blocked and you see the precise reason.

Where is my key stored?

If you leave “Remember key on this browser” enabled, the key and sitemap URL live only in this browser’s localStorage. The server never persists them — they’re only used in-flight to verify the key file and make the submission. Toggle the option off or hit “Forget saved values” any time to clear local storage.
