IndexMeNow connects your WordPress site to the IndexMeNow 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. Key Features 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 Dashboard widget – View your credit balance and recent push activity directly on the WordPress dashboard Smart duplicate detection – URLs already being indexed are automatically skipped to save credits Push history tracking – Complete log of all push attempts with status, trigger, and timestamp Project management – Create projects automatically or use existing ones from your IndexMeNow account Post type filtering – Choose which content types (posts, pages, custom post types) can be pushed Category filtering – Only auto-push posts from specific categories Low credits alert – Get notified when your credit balance falls below a configurable threshold Secure storage – API key is encoded before being stored in the database Multi-language – English and French translations included Push Methods 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. How Credits Work 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. Configuration After activation, go to Settings > IndexMeNow to configure the plugin.
