IndexMeNow connects your WordPress site to the <a href="https://indexmenow.com" rel="nofollow ugc">IndexMeNow</a> service to accelerate Google indexation of your pages and posts.
When you publish or update content, getting it indexed by Google can take days or even weeks. IndexMeNow solves this problem by submitting your URLs to Google through multiple channels, significantly reducing indexation time.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>6 push methods – Manual push, bulk push from posts list, auto-push on publish, auto-push on update, admin bar quick push, and sitemap push</li>
<li>Dashboard widget – View your credit balance and recent push activity directly on the WordPress dashboard</li>
<li>Smart duplicate detection – URLs already being indexed are automatically skipped to save credits</li>
<li>Push history tracking – Complete log of all push attempts with status, trigger, and timestamp</li>
<li>Project management – Create projects automatically or use existing ones from your IndexMeNow account</li>
<li>Post type filtering – Choose which content types (posts, pages, custom post types) can be pushed</li>
<li>Category filtering – Only auto-push posts from specific categories</li>
<li>Low credits alert – Get notified when your credit balance falls below a configurable threshold</li>
<li>Secure storage – API key is encoded before being stored in the database</li>
<li>Multi-language – English and French translations included</li>
</ul>
<h4>Push Methods</h4>
1. Manual Push (Editor Metabox) 
A dedicated metabox appears in the post/page editor sidebar. Click “Push to IndexMeNow” to send the current URL. Recent push history is displayed directly in the metabox.
2. Posts List Actions 
Push URLs directly from the Posts/Pages list screen. Use the “Push to IndexMeNow” row action for individual posts, or select multiple posts and use the bulk action to push them all at once.
3. Admin Bar Quick Push 
When viewing a published post on the frontend while logged in, an “IndexMeNow” button appears in the WordPress admin bar. One click sends the URL without needing to open the editor.
4. Auto-Push on First Publish 
Enable this option to automatically push URLs when content is first published. Draft-to-publish transitions trigger the push. Re-publishing or scheduling does not trigger duplicate pushes.
5. Auto-Push on Update 
Enable this option to automatically push URLs when a published post’s title or content is modified. Minor changes (categories, tags, featured image) do not trigger a push.
6. Sitemap Push 
Push all URLs from your XML sitemap at once. Ideal for bulk indexation of existing content. The plugin automatically detects your sitemap (WordPress core, Yoast SEO, etc.) and lets you select which URLs to push.
<h4>How Credits Work</h4>
IndexMeNow uses a credit-based system. Each URL push consumes 1 credit. The plugin checks your credit balance before each push and displays an error if insufficient. You can view your current balance on the settings page, dashboard widget, and refresh it anytime.
To avoid wasting credits, the plugin checks if a URL is already being processed before pushing. If the URL is found and not yet completed, the push is skipped automatically.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
After activation, go to Settings > IndexMeNow to configure the plugin.
<h4>Step 1: API Key</h4>
<ol>
<li>If you don’t have an account, sign up at <a href="https://indexmenow.com" rel="nofollow ugc">indexmenow.com</a></li>
<li>Find your API key at <a href="https://tool.indexmenow.com/docapi" rel="nofollow ugc">tool.indexmenow.com/docapi</a></li>
<li>Enter your API key in the settings page</li>
<li>Click Verify & load projects to validate your key</li>
</ol>
The API key is encoded before being stored in the database.
<h4>Step 2: Project Selection</h4>
Choose how URLs should be organized in your IndexMeNow account:
<ul>
<li>Automatic mode (recommended): A project named <code>yourdomain.com (wp-w2)</code> is created automatically on first push</li>
<li>Existing project: Select an existing project from your account to use for all pushes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Step 3: Auto-Push Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-push on new publish: Automatically push URLs when content is first published (OFF by default)</li>
<li>Auto-push on update: Automatically push URLs when published content is modified (OFF by default)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Step 4: Post Types</h4>
Select which content types can be pushed to IndexMeNow:
<ul>
<li>Posts (enabled by default)</li>
<li>Pages (enabled by default)</li>
<li>Any registered custom post type</li>
</ul>
Only selected post types will show the manual push metabox and be eligible for auto-push.
<h4>Step 5: Category Filter (Optional)</h4>
Select specific categories to limit auto-push. When enabled, only posts belonging to selected categories will be auto-pushed. Posts in other categories can still be pushed manually. Leave empty to push all categories.
<h4>Step 6: Low Credits Alert</h4>
Set a threshold to receive admin notifications when your credit balance is low. Default is 10 credits. Set to 0 to disable the alert.

<h3>Push History</h3>
All push attempts are logged in a dedicated database table. Each entry includes:
<ul>
<li>Date/time of the push attempt</li>
<li>URL that was pushed</li>
<li>Post ID (linked for easy navigation)</li>
<li>Status: success, error, or skipped</li>
<li>Trigger: manual, bulk, auto_publish, auto_update, or sitemap</li>
<li>Message: Success confirmation or error details</li>
</ul>
View the complete history on the settings page. Use the Purge feature to delete old entries (30/60/90 days or all) and keep your database clean.
<h3>Dashboard Widget</h3>
The IndexMeNow dashboard widget displays:
<ul>
<li>Credit balance with visual indication when low or empty</li>
<li>Quick link to buy more credits when running low</li>
<li>5 most recent push attempts with status and relative time</li>
<li>Quick links to settings and full history</li>
</ul>
The widget appears automatically for users with edit_posts capability when an API key is configured.
<h3>Sitemap Push</h3>
The sitemap push feature allows bulk indexation of existing content:
<ol>
<li>Go to Settings > IndexMeNow</li>
<li>Scroll to the Sitemap Push section</li>
<li>Click Load sitemap URLs to fetch all URLs from your sitemap</li>
<li>Review and select/deselect URLs as needed</li>
<li>Click Push selected URLs to submit them to IndexMeNow</li>
</ol>
The plugin automatically detects sitemaps from: 
* WordPress core (wp-sitemap.xml) 
* Yoast SEO (sitemap_index.xml) 
* All in One SEO 
* Jetpack 
* Standard sitemap.xml
Maximum 2000 URLs can be loaded and pushed at once. Sitemap parsing is limited to 3 levels deep for performance and security.
