    Hi,

    I am new to the plugin, trying to figure out how it works.

    1. Is the submission done automatically or manually through this URL: https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow/?url=url-changed&key=your-key?
    2. When setting up the plugin says ‘You only need to select one search engine because with the IndexNow protocol, the selected one will notify the others’. I am confused: Is Bing API and Yandex API eventually needed? Or the IndexNow API Key is enough?

    Thanks.

    1. It is done automatically for you after setting up the plugin using the indexnow protocol.
    2. IndexNow protocol supports Yandex and Bing. So if indexnow is enabled, also enabling bing and yandex api is redundant.

    Thank you. Have you checked compatibility between the plugin and the Bing Webmaster Tools IndexNow report? How can I verify that it works?

    You can check the Log page in our plugin to see if it is working or not.

    I think Bing Webmaster only picks up the URLs that are manually submitted, at least in my case. Also Yandex Webmaster does not host a similar IndexNow tracking tool. You suggest selecting IndexNow on search engine instead of Bing/Yandex/Seznam/Naver?

    You can have both indexnow and other search engines active. But I feel is redundant since with IndexNow, you automatically gain support for Bing, Yandex and the others.
