When you publish or update a page, search engines can take days or weeks to discover it on their own. IndexNow fixes that by letting you ping Bing (and other compatible engines) directly with the URLs that changed. This skill handles the entire flow — discovers your IndexNow key from the live domain, verifies it's deployed, and submits one or more URLs via the IndexNow API. Works with any domain that has an IndexNow key file deployed.
How It's Used
Run it after publishing a new page, updating an article, or deploying any content change you want indexed fast. Pass one or more full https:// URLs and the skill handles the rest — key discovery, verification, and submission. It groups URLs by domain automatically if you're submitting across multiple sites.
What You Get
Key discovery — Automatically finds the IndexNow key for your domain by checking the live site — no need to remember or look up the key yourself
Key verification — Confirms the key file is accessible at the expected URL before submitting, catching deploy issues before they cause silent failures
Submission confirmation — POSTs URLs to the IndexNow API and reports the result — success, bad request, or key verification failure — with clear next steps for any errors
