senternet-site-indexnow

Use the IndexNow protocol: generate a random hex key, host it in a public text file at your domain root, then POST your URL list to api.indexnow.org. This Skill automates all three steps and wires submission into your deploy script.

Place the key file in the public/ directory so Firebase serves it at the domain root, then add a node scripts/indexnow.mjs step after firebase deploy in your deploy:prod script. Verify the key file returns the key string and is not caught by a rewrite rule.

No, IndexNow is supported by Bing, Yandex, and other participating engines, but Google does not use it. Google indexing is handled separately through Google Search Console and its own crawl process.

Yes, but the URL list comes from the route manifest in config/routes.mjs instead of a sitemap file, and submission must run after the rollout reports READY, not immediately after the deploy command returns.

The key file must live in public/ and be served as a static file. Check that firebase.json does not have a rewrite rule catching .txt files before static file serving, and confirm the file content matches the key exactly.

The IndexNow API accepts up to 10,000 URLs per request, which covers most marketing sites. Submitting on every deploy is recommended since the overhead is minimal and keeps the index fresh.
