IndexNow submission
IndexNow from the same screen as your crawl data
IndexNow lets you tell participating search engines a URL has changed, instead of waiting for them to find out. WriteWorks puts the request next to the page's AI crawler activity: submit the page, record when you asked, then see whether the crawlers come back.

Claude and MCP clients The challenge
Why updated pages sit unseen
Crawlers take their time, and IndexNow is one more tool.
Updated pages wait to be recrawled
You fix a page so it answers a question better, then wait for crawlers to notice. Until they do, every search and AI index still holds the old version.
IndexNow setup is one more task
Using IndexNow normally means generating a key, hosting a key file and calling an API or installing a plugin, separate from the tools where you analyse pages.
No record of what you submitted
Even when teams ping IndexNow, there is rarely a log of when each page was submitted, so nobody can tell whether a crawl followed.
Answers shift week to week
The same buyer question returns a different set of sources each week, so a one-off audit is stale before the fix ships.
The solution
How IndexNow works in WriteWorks
Request, record, then watch the crawl.
From the page analytics view, request re-indexing of a page in one click, right next to its crawler activity by engine and intent.
WriteWorks uses the same key file your domain verification already hosts at the site root, so there is no separate IndexNow key to manage. The ping is sent once the domain is verified.
Each request is stored against the page, so you can compare when you asked with when AI crawlers and search bots next fetched it.
Customer story
How teams are winning AI search
From invisibility to category dominance across every major answer engine.
“Before WriteWorks, our content landed and disappeared. Now every asset ships citation-ready, gets cited across the engines our buyers ask, and ties back to the loop. It's the first time we've measured AI search as a real channel.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything teams typically ask before getting started.
What is IndexNow?+
IndexNow is an open protocol for telling participating search engines, including Bing and Yandex, that a URL has been added, updated or deleted. Engines that support it share submissions with each other, so one ping reaches all of them.
Does Google support IndexNow?+
No. Google does not take part in IndexNow. Google discovers changes through its own crawling and your sitemaps.
How do I submit a page to IndexNow in WriteWorks?+
Verify your domain in WriteWorks, which hosts a key file at your site root, then open the page in the page analytics view and request re-indexing. WriteWorks records the request and sends the IndexNow ping using that key.
Does IndexNow help with AI search?+
IndexNow updates the indexes of participating search engines. Some AI answer experiences draw on those indexes, so a faster refresh can help them see your latest version sooner. WriteWorks lets you watch the page's crawler activity to see what actually happens.
Which plans include IndexNow requests?+
IndexNow requests are part of AI crawler analytics, on the Growth and Enterprise plans and on agency plans, not Starter.
