Rank Math IndexNow Returns Success but Bing Doesn't Reflect URL Submissions

Hi everyone,

 

I'm using the Rank Math SEO plugin to automatically submit new and updated URLs to Bing through IndexNow.

 

My website is:

https://bloxvalues.net/

 

Rank Math reports that the IndexNow requests are being sent successfully, and the API key has been generated correctly. However, I don't see the submitted URLs appearing in Bing Webmaster Tools, and recently updated pages don't seem to be processed any faster.

 

I've confirmed that:

- IndexNow is enabled in Rank Math.

- The API key is accessible.

- My site is verified in Bing Webmaster Tools.

- The URLs are publicly accessible.

 

Has anyone experienced a similar issue with Rank Math's built-in IndexNow integration? Is there a delay before submissions appear in Bing Webmaster Tools, or is there another way to verify that Bing has successfully processed the submitted URLs?

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Farooq, a successful IndexNow response means Bing accepted the notification, but it does not guarantee instant indexing or instant visibility in Webmaster Tools. I would test one URL with Bing URL Inspection, then check for `robots.txt`, noindex, canonical, redirect, or crawl issues. If a manual IndexNow submission also succeeds, it is likely just processing time.
