InstaIndex: IndexNow for Bing

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.

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.
