IndexNow
IndexNow is an open protocol for telling participating search engines that a URL has been added, updated, or deleted, instead of waiting for them to re-crawl it.
Why it matters
IndexNow reaches Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam — not Google. That matters more than it used to, because Bing’s index also feeds several AI assistants; for Google the honest position is to observe what it does rather than to claim you can push it.
