Does Indexnow work with Google?

Google is not listed among the current official IndexNow participants. The module sends IndexNow notifications to Bing; the protocol provides for sharing them with other participants. A notification does not guarantee indexing.

The module also offers a separate Google Indexing API configuration, using a service account and a JSON file. This feature is separate from the IndexNow protocol. Under Google’s rules, this API is restricted to pages with JobPosting structured data, or a BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject; it is therefore not a general solution for a shop’s product and category pages.

For ordinary shop pages, use a sitemap and Google Search Console tools. An IndexNow submission provides no guarantee that Google will index a page.
