Your content can rank when search engines find it

Trending topics don't wait for search engines

A post about this week's trending topic, a Black Friday deal, a product launch: each one is most valuable right now. The sooner search engines know your content exists, the more of that traffic window you actually capture.

Your newest posts deserve Google's attention

When your sitemap is outdated, crawlers spend their time on pages you've already moved or left behind. A current sitemap means Google's attention goes to the content you're actively publishing.

The sooner you're indexed, the sooner you get traffic

Between publishing and getting search traffic, there's a step most site owners leave to chance: making sure search engines actually know your content is there. Getting that step right changes how quickly your work starts paying off.

The Solution

AIOSEO connects your content to search engines automatically

Every time you publish, AIOSEO updates your XML sitemap so Google always has an accurate map of your site, and sends an IndexNow notification so Bing and Yandex know about your new content right away. Once your content is indexed, AIOSEO keeps working: schema markup helps it qualify for rich results, and TruSEO optimization signals to Google that the page is worth ranking.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to set anything up?

Both IndexNow and your XML sitemap are configured automatically when you activate AIOSEO. Your sitemap is ready from day one, and IndexNow starts notifying Bing and Yandex right away.

What plan do I need?

XML Sitemaps are included on all plans, including the free version. IndexNow and Video and News Sitemaps are available on paid plans, which you can view here: AIOSEO pricing.

Does IndexNow work with Google?

IndexNow is currently supported by Bing and Yandex. Google hasn't adopted the protocol yet. For Google, your XML sitemap is the most reliable signal you can give crawlers, and AIOSEO keeps it current automatically.

How is this different from submitting URLs manually in Google Search Console?

Manual URL submission in Google Search Console is a one-at-a-time process that only affects Google. AIOSEO's IndexNow integration submits automatically on every publish, covers Bing and Yandex, and runs without any manual steps on your end.

Does this help with the ‘Crawled — Currently Not Indexed' issue in Google Search Console?

IndexNow doesn't affect Google's indexing decisions. When Google crawls a page but doesn't index it, it's typically a content quality or internal linking signal. AIOSEO's TruSEO Analysis and Link Assistant address both of those directly.
