IndexerNow vs. manual Search Console
Search Console's "Request indexing" button works — one URL at a time. Here's what changes when you use the API directly.
| Manual Search Console | IndexerNow | |
|---|---|---|
| Submit URLs in bulk | No | Yes |
| Pull URLs from a sitemap | No | Yes |
| Uses the Indexing API (strongest crawl hint) | Request indexing only | Yes |
| Bulk URL Inspection / status | One URL at a time | Yes |
| Push to Bing IndexNow too | No | Yes |
| CSV export & history | No | Yes |
| Per-day request caps | ~10–20 manual requests | Up to Google's 200/day |
| Cost | Free, but slow & manual | Free quota, then $9.99 packs |
