Very Important Pets review for InstaIndex: IndexNow for Bing
Aug. 10, 2024
I had known about Indexnow for a while but hadn't gotten around to working out how to implement it. Then I found this app. It's very simple to install and use, and customer support (Raj) is very good. I am submitting a lot of URLs, but many aren't getting indexed. I know it's not InstaIndex that can influence this, but I wonder if Instaindex is all it says it is. It's early days, and I will try it for a year to see otherwise; you can submit 100 URLS manually on webmaster tools, which I think do, in fact, get indexed; however, if you have lots of product URLs, this is quite burdensome.
Thank you for your detailed review, Graham! We’re thrilled that you found our app simple to install and use, and we appreciate your kind words about our customer support. As you mentioned, the app facilitates notifying search engines, but the decision to index ultimately rests with them. Sites with good SEO typically see a high submission-to-indexing ratio. For newer sites, it's crucial to be patient and address any issues highlighted in Bing Webmaster Tools while continuously improving SEO. The decision to index is determined by algorithms and depends on various factors, including the age and popularity of the site, backlinks, niche, and quality of content. Rest assured, we are here to help with any issues you encounter when submitting URLs. The Bing team has assigned us a project manager, and we are continuously working with them to ensure our submissions are optimized for search engines. We recently implemented meaningful submissions—a first in any IndexNow implementation on the internet—that compares changes and only submits a URL if the change is important for SEO, thereby improving the quality of our submissions. We will bring your indexing issue to our contact at Bing. However, based on their usual recommendations, it's vital to focus on SEO improvements, as these are crucial for better indexing results. Thank you again for your feedback and for giving InstaIndex a try. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
