Bulk URL Indexer — Get Indexed Faster
The URL Indexer helps search engines discover your new content faster. Instead of waiting days or weeks for crawlers to find your pages, you can submit URLs directly. Open it by clicking 🚀 Indexer in the top navigation bar.
Two modes are available:
| Mode | Setup Required | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Verified (IndexNow) | Yes — host a key file on your domain | Instant indexing on Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam |
| Broadcaster (No Setup) | None | Quick discovery across 6 networks with zero configuration |
Verified Mode (IndexNow)
IndexNow is a protocol supported by Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam. When you submit URLs through IndexNow, those search engines index your pages within minutes.
One-Time Setup
- Generate an IndexNow API key (any alphanumeric string works, or use a generator)
- Create a text file named
{your-key}.txtcontaining just the key value - Upload that file to your website's root directory (e.g.,
https://yourdomain.com/abc123.txt) - In the Indexer, fill in:
- Domain Host — Your domain without protocol (e.g.,
www.yourdomain.com) - IndexNow API Key — The key you generated
- Key Location (optional) — Full URL to the key file if it's not at the default location
- Domain Host — Your domain without protocol (e.g.,
Settings auto-save after 1.5 seconds of inactivity. When a project is active, these settings save per-project.
Submitting URLs
Paste your URLs into the text area (one per line) and click Submit. IndexNow accepts unlimited submissions.

The Broadcaster pings your URLs across 6 discovery networks simultaneously. No API keys or file uploads needed.

Submitting URLs
- Paste your URLs into the text area (one per line)
- Click Broadcast URLs
- Watch the progress bar as each URL is pinged across all 6 services
- Results appear below, showing per-URL status for each service
Reading Results
Each URL gets a result row showing the status for every service:
| Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✅ | Successfully submitted (HTTP 2xx) |
| 📤 | Queued or sent |
| ⏳ | Timeout or retry pending |
| ⚠️ | Client error (HTTP 4xx) |
| ❌ | Server error (HTTP 5xx) |
| ➖ | Not applicable (service skipped) |
Which Mode Should I Use?
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| You own the site and want the fastest indexing | IndexNow — set it up once and submit unlimited URLs |
| You want quick discovery without any setup | Broadcaster — paste and go |
| You publish to sites you don't control | Broadcaster — no server file upload needed |
| You're already using the Broadcaster quota for the day | Switch to IndexNow (no daily limit) |
Project-Specific Settings
When a project is active (shown in the top-right corner of the Indexer), your IndexNow configuration saves to that project. Each project can have its own domain, API key, and key location. Switching projects loads that project's saved configuration.
