Ping Search Engines & Submit URLs to IndexNow

Ping the 4 services that still accept pings, then submit up to 50 URLs to IndexNow with your own verified key. Google's ping endpoint is gone; we say so.

Tell the indexing services your URLs changed, and see every response.

How to ping search engines and submit URLs to IndexNow

Nothing to install and no feed to configure. The run happens server-side and returns a line for every service it touched.

One URL per line, each an absolute address that returns 200 and is not marked noindex. Announcing a page that cannot be indexed wastes the run.

Generate a key, save it as a plain text file at your site root, and paste the key here. We fetch that file and compare it to the key before a single URL reaches api.indexnow.org — if it does not match, we tell you instead of submitting anyway.

Each of the 4 ping services and the IndexNow submission returns its own status and response time. Copy the result or download the CSV so the run is on the record.

IndexNow answers with an HTTP status and almost nothing else, so the code is the whole diagnosis. These are the documented ones, and the two you will actually hit are 403 and 422.

The URLs were accepted and your key was recognised on the spot.

Nothing. Keep the key file where it is, because it will be checked again on the next submission.

A key file at the host root, reachable over HTTPS, containing exactly the key you submitted.

The submission was received, but the key has not finished validating yet.
