Google instant indexing

    Hi team,

    First of all, it’s nice that you have included the instant indexing feature for Bing by default. But what confuses me is, why did you guys decide to exclude Google from the feature and publish a separate plugin to do that?
    Instant Indexing for Google – ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-indexing-api/

    Is there something I’m missing?

    Thanks,
    Nilaya

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    We are continuing to improve everything in Rank Math plugin including this area. There are no immediate plans to merge the Google Instant Indexing plugin – “yet” since this API is recommended for only Live Streaming and Job Posting websites which is not ideal to offer in the main plugin.

    You can check this link for more information:

    With that said, there is already much suggestion for this and your vote was already added to the suggestions list.

    For now, you may need to install that separate plugin to make use of the Google Instant Indexing feature for Rank Math.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Hi Reinelle,

    Thank you for your response.

    While I understand that Google’s indexing API is targeted for specific types of websites, there are a few modules in Rank Math SEO that are not relevant for everyone, such as the News Sitemap and Local SEO & Knowledge Graph modules. They are still part of the main plugin as they add great overall value to the plugin.

    Similarly, Google Instant Indexer would be a great addition in my opinion. Given Rank Math SEO is modular in nature, this new feature can be made optional so that only those who understand the risks can enable it.

    The best part is that the code is already built and it just needs to be merged to Rank Math SEO.

    But if at all this doesn’t happen, can we have an alternative feature to trigger a Request indexing that we manually do from the URL Inspection section in GSC?
    I think it works similar to BWT where it’s called URL Submission.
    Bing provides an API for that, but I’m not sure Google does.

    Thanks,
    Nilayan
