New Site Index
95/100
Best for new sites and programmatic SEO. Combines IndexNow with a real directory listing that creates an indexed backlink.
Google Search Console
80/100
Essential for every site. Best for single-page manual submissions. Too slow for bulk operations.
Bing Webmaster Tools
68/100
Underused but powerful. Bing indexes fast and shares data with other engines. Combine with GSC for full coverage.
Our Recommendation
For most sites, the optimal stack is:
- New Site Index — for IndexNow automation + directory backlink
- Google Search Console — for single-page manual requests and monitoring
- Bing Webmaster Tools — for sitemap submission and Bing-specific data
This covers automatic bulk submission, direct Google notification, Bing indexing, and a backlink signal — all for free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use multiple indexing tools at once?
Yes — the best approach is layered. Use Google Search Console for manual single-page submissions, IndexNow (via New Site Index) for automatic bulk submissions, and Bing Webmaster Tools as a secondary signal. Each tool covers slightly different ground.
Are paid indexing services worth it?
For most sites, the free combination of IndexNow + GSC + Bing Webmaster Tools is sufficient. Paid services can help for high-volume backlink indexing (1,000+ links per month) where you need guaranteed throughput.
Does Google officially support IndexNow?
Google has not officially joined the IndexNow consortium, but has confirmed they observe IndexNow submissions through Bing data sharing. For direct Google submission, use Google Search Console.
What is the difference between URL submission and indexing?
URL submission tells search engines a page exists and should be crawled. Indexing is the decision to include it in search results. Submission is within your control; indexing depends on content quality and Google's assessment.
