Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CodeCrafters URL Indexing for Google and IndexNow

No. Use either or both. IndexNow covers Bing and other partners with almost no setup. Google requires a Google Cloud project, Search Console ownership, and has a daily quota. Many sites start with IndexNow and add Google later.

Only if you enable the Google Indexing API. IndexNow works independently with the key generated by the plugin and does not require a Google account.

Open Google Cloud Console and create (or select) a project. Go to APIs & Services → Library, search for Web Search Indexing API, and click Enable. Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts → Create service account. Give it a clear name; no extra Cloud roles are needed. Open the service account, go to Keys → Add key → Create new key → JSON, and download the file. Copy the service account email (it looks like name@project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com). Open Google Search Console, select the property for your site, go to Settings → Users and permissions, and add the service account email with Owner permission. In WordPress, go to URL Indexing → Settings, enable Google Indexing API, paste the entire JSON file into Service account JSON, save, and click Test Google Connection.

In URL Indexing → Settings → Service account JSON. Paste the full contents of the downloaded .json file. Do not upload the file to your media library or leave it in a public folder. On later saves, leave the field blank to keep the stored key unchanged.

The key is stored in the WordPress options table, never as a publicly accessible file, and is not autoloaded on every page. Still treat it like a password: limit who has administrator access, use HTTPS, and never commit the key to version control or show it in screenshots.

Google authenticates with a service account (OAuth 2.0 signed with the private key in the JSON file) and requires that account to own the site in Search Console. IndexNow proves ownership differently: search engines fetch a key file from your domain. The plugin creates that key and serves the file automatically.

On activation the plugin generates a random 32-character key and serves it at https://yoursite.com/{key}.txt through a WordPress rewrite rule. No physical file is written to your server. Search engines fetch that URL to confirm you control the site.

IndexNow is a free, open protocol. Google's Indexing API is generally free within its documented quota (commonly 200 requests per day per Google Cloud project). Check Google's current quotas and billing policies for your project.

Google typically allows about 200 Indexing API requests per day per Cloud project. The plugin lets you set a lower cap (180 by default, up to 200) and stops sending Google requests once it is reached; those attempts are logged as "Quota exceeded". The counter resets at midnight UTC, and current usage is shown on the Settings and Tools screens.

IndexNow does not publish a small daily cap like Google's. Still, only notify real changes and avoid repeated resubmissions of the same URL.
