Changelog
Every release of IndexerNow: new features, improvements, and fixes.
50 credits is now $2.99 · One wallet — your credits work everywhere
- A credit pack is $2.99 for 50 credits, down from $9.99. That's about six cents a URL, still one-time, still no subscription, and credits still keep for a full year.
- AI credits and indexing credits are now one wallet. There used to be two, and you could end up holding credits you weren't allowed to spend on what you were trying to do. One balance now covers everything: 1 credit per index push, status check or audit, 2 for a full site report, and 5 for an AI citation check — it asks every AI engine at once, so it's several model calls rather than one. Any AI credits you already bought moved across and now spend on anything.
- New accounts start with 5 credits — enough for a citation check on the house, or five index pushes if you'd rather. AI Visibility, Power and Agency still include citation checks outright and spend no credits on them.
Credits now last a year · Run out of quota three days running? Power, on us
- Credit packs keep for 365 days instead of 30. A pack bought for a launch that slipped is still there when the launch finally happens — nothing auto-renews, and the daily spend cap is unchanged. Packs you already own keep the expiry date they were sold with.
- Hit your free daily limit three days in a row and we'll put you on Power for three days automatically — higher daily limits, Watch & Auto-submit, and the full AI visibility suite. No card, nothing to cancel: it ends by itself and your account goes back to free.
Quick Wins remembers what you fixed · See where your own pages compete with each other
- Mark fixed & snooze on Quick Wins — a long list of opportunities now works like a queue instead of the same wall every visit. Marking a page fixed records where it ranked at the time, so the next scan can show you whether the work paid off; snoozing hides a page for two weeks.
- Moved up since your last scan — every scan is remembered, so pages that climbed get their own strip at the top ("14.0 → 7.0, reached page 1") and every card shows how far it has moved since you last looked.
- Stop competing with yourself — a new section finds the queries where two or more of your own pages both rank. Google has to pick between them and neither gets the full signal, so you get the competing pages side by side and how to consolidate them.
- Quick Wins opens already scanned, and leads with what's actually on the table: the total clicks per month you're leaving behind, split between climbing to page 1 and fixing weak titles.
- Search, sort and filter the whole list — by biggest upside, closest to page 1, or most impressions — with one-tap filters for pages earning zero clicks and for how big the climb is. Positions 4–10 and page 2 are now separate groups, because they're not the same size of job.
- Pages with both problems at once — just off page 1 and under-earning clicks — now say so on both cards instead of appearing as two unrelated items, and a page earning no clicks at all is flagged outright.
Copy any page's SEO fixes straight to your AI
- Copy to AI on Most-crawled pages — for every page AI bots fetch most, one click copies a ready-to-paste prompt that tells your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor…) exactly how to raise that page's SEO and AI-answer quality: title & meta, Open Graph, JSON-LD structured data, an answer-first opening, FAQ markup, internal links, sitemap and llms.txt. The effort lands where AI attention already is.
- Your AI Score's structured-data, FAQ, and Open Graph coverage now refresh on their own — a few of your pages are audited automatically in the background, so those checks fill in without you clicking "Run an audit" for every site.
Every URL scored before it's indexed · Catch canonical & review-snippet issues before Google does
- Score & submit — the sites page now grades every page for indexability before it goes to Google, Bing, or IndexNow. Pages Google can't index — canonical points to another page, marked noindex, blocked by robots, or unreachable — are flagged and held back so you don't waste an index attempt on them.
- "How this scored" breakdown — click any URL's score to see exactly how its 0–100 was calculated, check by check, then hit "Copy fix to AI" for a ready-to-paste brief that fixes the page before you resubmit.
- The page audit now catches the two problems Search Console only emails you about after the fact: a canonical pointing to a different page ("Alternate page with proper canonical tag") and multiple aggregate ratings on one review/product — both surfaced before you submit, not weeks later.
Full site report for everyone · Take your report to any AI
- Full site report is now open to every user — run every check at once (live + AI discoverability scores, page audit, Google index status, sitemap, llms.txt, and 30-day AI crawler stats) against a site you own. Still free on Power and Agency; free-tier users pay a small per-run credit price.
- Copy to AI — one click puts the whole report on your clipboard as a ready-to-paste brief, so ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can hand you a prioritised plan to fix your site.
- Download report — save the full report as a Markdown file to keep or share.
Real, live usage numbers
- The homepage trust band now shows exact live counts instead of rounded-down figures — 61 creators indexing reads "61+", not "50+" — so every number reflects real usage as it grows.
- "Pages indexed" now carries a short note: index tracking was added recently, so it's still catching up to URLs submitted and climbs as pages get re-checked.
One AI Search page · Traffic from AI apps · Proof AI has cited you
- Traffic from AI apps — the tracking script now includes cookieless web analytics, so you can see the real people who arrived from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot (by referrer or UTM tag), not just which bots crawled you. This is the proof a citation actually sent you a visitor, right on the AI Search page.
- "AI citations earned for our clients" now shows on the homepage — an aggregate, always-understated count of real AI-answer click-throughs across every tracked site.
- The AI Search area is now one page instead of five tabs: your AI Score leads, then Found → Cited → Clicked in a single view. The number you came for is the first thing you see — it loads on arrival instead of hiding behind a button.
- Fixes that matter most are listed first, and the setup steps collapse to a single line once tracking is live — no more three-step scaffolding or repeated explainers.
- Sites that showed "0 cited" while real visitors were arriving from AI apps are now counted correctly — the funnel reads both the referrer and the utm_source, so UTM-tagged AI traffic (e.g. utm_source=chatgpt.com) no longer scores zero.
Crawl → cite → click funnel · AI credits · AI extractability score
- Crawl → cite → click funnel — the AI visibility tab now shows all three stages in one place: how often AI bots crawl you, what share of your tracked prompts engines cite, and how many real visitors clicked through from AI answers (via the tracking pixel).
- Citation-drop banner — every new run is compared to the previous one right on the page: prompts that lost their citation are called out (and gains are celebrated), not just emailed.
- AI-retrieval scan — we detect the machine-shaped queries AI assistants leave in your Search Console report when they research answers, so you can see your pages being retrieved by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot before you're ever cited. Free.
- AI extractability score — free tool: paste any URL and get a 0–100 score for whether an AI engine can lift a clean, attributable answer from it, with the exact edits that close the gap.
- Citation gap analyzer — every uncited prompt now has a "Why them?" button that diffs your page against the cited competitor's page factor by factor and lists the edits, ordered by impact. Free.
- Share of voice across runs — a per-run table of how often you vs your most-cited competitors get cited for your tracked prompts, with run-over-run direction arrows.
- AI credits — citation checks now run on their own wallet: your first check is free, then a one-time $9.99 pack adds 10 more (valid 90 days, separate from indexing credits). One check probes every configured engine at once. (Superseded in 2.16: there is one wallet now, and those credits spend on anything.)
- A citation check that returns nothing no longer costs anything — failed probes refund their credit automatically, including scheduled monitoring runs.
- Automatic citation monitoring pauses gracefully when you're out of AI credits and resumes when you top up — your history stays intact.
- The account page now shows both wallets (indexing credits and AI credits) with their own balances, packs, and expiry dates.
Why a page isn't indexed · One-click reindex from Monitor · See what changed since last check
- Submit straight from Monitor — when a status check finds pages Google hasn't indexed, push them to the Indexing API in one click, either per URL or with a single "Submit all not-indexed" action.
- Index-change tracking — re-check the same URLs and Monitor shows what changed since last time: pages newly indexed, pages that dropped out of the index, and canonical changes, with links to set up email alerts or a recurring check.
- Export your index-status results to CSV.
- Monitor now explains why a page isn't indexed in plain English — blocked by robots.txt, soft 404, fetch error, or a different canonical chosen by Google — instead of a bare coverage code, and links each URL straight into Google Search Console.
- Filter results by indexed / not-indexed / errors and sort by verdict or last-crawl date.
- Before running a check, see how many pasted URLs are valid, invalid, or duplicates — and how many fit your remaining quota.
- Results now read cleanly on mobile, with a quick explainer on first use.
Report an issue in one tap
- One-tap issue reporting — when an action fails, a toast asks whether to tell the developers; one click sends the team the details so problems get fixed faster.
Full site report on Power · Server-side AI crawler tracking · Contact us
- Full site report — run every check at once (live + AI discoverability scores, page audit, Google index status, sitemap, llms.txt, and 30-day AI crawler stats) against a site you own. Available to Power and Agency users on the AI search → AI score tab.
- "Copy AI prompt" install for AI crawler tracking — one paste into your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) wires up server-side detection for your stack.
- Contact us form — reach the team from anywhere in the app; available to every user, prefilled with your email.
- What's-new announcements — a one-time summary of new features when you sign in after a release.
- AI crawler tracking is now server-side (edge / middleware) instead of a client script — AI bots don't run JavaScript, so this is the only way to reliably catch GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and the rest.
New user onboarding · Hero flow diagram · Push notifications
- 4-step onboarding wizard for new users — covers Google Search Console verification (with DNS provider-specific instructions for Cloudflare, Vercel, Namecheap, GoDaddy, and Netlify), Bing Webmaster Tools setup, and IndexNow key hosting.
- AI Builder Prompt in the IndexNow key setup — one-click copy of a ready-to-paste AI prompt to create the key file for Next.js / Vercel, Cloudflare Worker, or any static site.
- Logo image now served at /logo.png via a Next.js edge route.
- Hero demo replaced with an animated flow diagram: Google · Bing · IndexNow converge into IndexerNow, then branch out to Indexed and Cited by AI.
