Changelog
Every release of IndexerNow — new features, improvements, and fixes.
v2.10Latest2026-07-14
Real, live usage numbers
Improved
- 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.
v2.92026-07-13
One AI Search page · Traffic from AI apps · Proof AI has cited you
Added
- 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.
Improved
- 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.
Fixed
- 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.
v2.82026-07-11
Crawl → cite → click funnel · AI credits · AI extractability score
Added
- 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.
Improved
- 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.
v2.62026-06-28
Why a page isn't indexed · One-click reindex from Monitor · See what changed since last check
Added
- 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.
Improved
- 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.
v2.52026-06-27
Report an issue in one tap
Added
- 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.
v2.42026-06-27
Full site report on Power · Server-side AI crawler tracking · Contact us
Added
- 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.
Improved
- 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.
v2.32026-06-25
New user onboarding · Hero flow diagram · Push notifications
Added
- 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.
Improved
- Hero demo replaced with an animated flow diagram: Google · Bing · IndexNow converge into IndexerNow, then branch out to Indexed and Cited by AI.
Fixed
- Push notifications (HookToPhone) now work in production — HOOK_URL was missing from docker-compose.yml and is now forwarded into the container.
