Lady Ros review for InstaIndex: IndexNow for Bing
July 6, 2024
Update RAJ was very helpful in redeveloping the application. He provided information about things we lacked knowledge on. The application is now running smoothly. We are currently testing the application, and it will take 3-4 months to see effective results. I will provide another update after 3-4 months. I really thank RAJ very much. ---- I installed this app with great enthusiasm to integrate with the Bing search engine and make our products easier to find. However, I installed the app on May 24th, submitted 2,500 links, and haven't received a single bit of traffic yet. It's unbelievable, right? Not even one. This app is truly useless, folks. It's just a waste of space on your website.
Update: Thank you, Ece, for your update! We really appreciate your feedback and are glad we were able to help you. We are always here to support you. --- Original response: Thank you for your feedback and for using InstaIndex. We apologize for the delay in our response, as Shopify reviews can take a few days to be published, and we were not aware of your feedback until it was live. We understand your enthusiasm for getting your products ranked on Bing and driving traffic. To help with this, our app is designed to notify search engines about changes on your store, reducing the time it takes for them to become aware of new URLs or updates such as content improvements for SEO or price adjustments. However, it's important to note that InstaIndex does not directly influence the indexing or ranking of your store pages. Our function is to notify search engines promptly, and it is at the sole discretion of the search engines to crawl, index, and rank your pages. We reviewed your submission logs and noticed that you submitted 2,500 URLs in a single manual submission about 20 days ago. If these URLs were submitted without any changes, such as bulk pricing adjustments or content updates, this would violate IndexNow guidelines and be considered misuse of the protocol. As an official Bing partner, we do not support this and provide multiple warnings in our app before you reach the manual submission page. The IndexNow protocol is a combined effort of multiple search engines to help site owners notify them about changes on their site, reducing the need for regular sitemap crawls and making the indexing process more efficient. Once a URL is submitted, it is up to the search engines to decide whether to crawl, index, and rank that page. IndexNow simply reduces the time between changes on your site and when search engines become aware of them.
