Key Takeaways

- ✓IndexNow responsible for 22% of all clicked Bing URLs
- ✓Supported by: Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam, Yep
- ✓Google does NOT support IndexNow (despite testing since October 2021)

- ✓WordPress: 10+ million active installations
- ✓No native Next.js integration — can be implemented webhook-based
IndexNow has achieved significant adoption — however without the most important search engine provider.
Adoption and Impact
The latest verifiable Bing data (December 2024) shows 3.5 billion daily submitted URLs and IndexNow as the source for 22 percent of all clicked Bing URLs. Shopify launched native integration in May 2025, Cloudflare expanded to all Paid Plans in Q4 2025.
Google Missing
Google does not support IndexNow as of April 2026, despite test announcement in October 2021. For sites primarily optimizing for Google, IndexNow remains an add-on for Bing visibility and AI platforms that use the Bing index (particularly ChatGPT Search).
Next.js Integration
No native integration. Recommended approach: Payload CMS webhooks trigger a Node.js script that sends changed URLs to api.indexnow.org/IndexNow.
