IndexNow 200 status code, but Google isn’t indexing

    Hi,

    I have this issue: according to IndexNow in RankMath, my urls are submitted to Google with status code 200. But if I check for the same urls in Search Console, it tells me they are not indexed.

    Is there anything I need to do to fix this or is it a bug of yours?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    The IndexNow API is not used by Google but rather by Bing and Yandex, so you are submitting the URLs to those search engines.

    If you would like to use the same feature for Google you would need to follow the steps here: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/

    Please note that these features simply submit the URL for submission but don’t guarantee it will be indexed, because that will depend on whether or not the algorithm believes the content is relevant for their search engine.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
