IndexMeNow connects your WordPress site to the IndexMeNow service to accelerate Google indexation of your pages and posts.
When you publish or update content, getting it indexed by Google can take days or even weeks. IndexMeNow solves this problem by submitting your URLs to Google through multiple channels, significantly reducing indexation time.

Smart duplicate detection – URLs already being indexed are automatically skipped to save credits
Push history tracking – Complete log of all push attempts with status, trigger, and timestamp
Project management – Create projects automatically or use existing ones from your IndexMeNow account
Post type filtering – Choose which content types (posts, pages, custom post types) can be pushed
Category filtering – Only auto-push posts from specific categories
Low credits alert – Get notified when your credit balance falls below a configurable threshold
Secure storage – API key is encoded before being stored in the database
Multi-language – English and French translations included
Push Methods
1. Manual Push (Editor Metabox) A dedicated metabox appears in the post/page editor sidebar. Click “Push to IndexMeNow” to send the current URL. Recent push history is displayed directly in the metabox.
2. Posts List Actions Push URLs directly from the Posts/Pages list screen. Use the “Push to IndexMeNow” row action for individual posts, or select multiple posts and use the bulk action to push them all at once.
3. Admin Bar Quick Push When viewing a published post on the frontend while logged in, an “IndexMeNow” button appears in the WordPress admin bar. One click sends the URL without needing to open the editor.
4. Auto-Push on First Publish Enable this option to automatically push URLs when content is first published. Draft-to-publish transitions trigger the push. Re-publishing or scheduling does not trigger duplicate pushes.
5. Auto-Push on Update Enable this option to automatically push URLs when a published post’s title or content is modified. Minor changes (categories, tags, featured image) do not trigger a push.
6. Sitemap Push Push all URLs from your XML sitemap at once. Ideal for bulk indexation of existing content. The plugin automatically detects your sitemap (WordPress core, Yoast SEO, etc.) and lets you select which URLs to push.
How Credits Work
IndexMeNow uses a credit-based system. Each URL push consumes 1 credit. The plugin checks your credit balance before each push and displays an error if insufficient. You can view your current balance on the settings page, dashboard widget, and refresh it anytime.
To avoid wasting credits, the plugin checks if a URL is already being processed before pushing. If the URL is found and not yet completed, the push is skipped automatically.
Configuration
After activation, go to Settings > IndexMeNow to configure the plugin.
Step 1: API Key
01If you don’t have an account, sign up at indexmenow.com
02Find your API key at tool.indexmenow.com/docapi
03Enter your API key in the settings page
04Click Verify & load projects to validate your key
The API key is encoded before being stored in the database.
Step 2: Project Selection
Choose how URLs should be organized in your IndexMeNow account:
Automatic mode (recommended): A project named yourdomain.com (wp-w2) is created automatically on first push
Existing project : Select an existing project from your account to use for all pushes
Step 3: Auto-Push Options
Auto-push on new publish : Automatically push URLs when content is first published (OFF by default)
Auto-push on update : Automatically push URLs when published content is modified (OFF by default)
Step 4: Post Types
Select which content types can be pushed to IndexMeNow:
Posts (enabled by default)
Pages (enabled by default)
Any registered custom post type
Only selected post types will show the manual push metabox and be eligible for auto-push.
Step 5: Category Filter (Optional)
Select specific categories to limit auto-push. When enabled, only posts belonging to selected categories will be auto-pushed. Posts in other categories can still be pushed manually. Leave empty to push all categories.
Step 6: Low Credits Alert
Set a threshold to receive admin notifications when your credit balance is low. Default is 10 credits. Set to 0 to disable the alert.

Push History
All push attempts are logged in a dedicated database table. Each entry includes:
Date/time of the push attempt
URL that was pushed
Post ID (linked for easy navigation)
Status : success, error, or skipped
Trigger : manual, bulk, auto_publish, auto_update, or sitemap
Message : Success confirmation or error details
View the complete history on the settings page. Use the Purge feature to delete old entries (30/60/90 days or all) and keep your database clean.
Dashboard Widget
The IndexMeNow dashboard widget displays:
Credit balance with visual indication when low or empty
Quick link to buy more credits when running low
5 most recent push attempts with status and relative time
Quick links to settings and full history
The widget appears automatically for users with edit_posts capability when an API key is configured.

Frequently asked questions.
Where do I get an API key?
Sign up at indexmenow.com and find your API key in your account settings at tool.indexmenow.com/docapi .
How much does it cost?
IndexMeNow uses a credit-based system. Check indexmenow.com for current pricing. The WordPress plugin itself is free.
Does this plugin work with custom post types?
Yes. Any public custom post type registered on your site will appear in the settings. Simply check the ones you want to enable.
What happens if I run out of credits?
The plugin checks your credit balance before each push. If you have insufficient credits, the push will fail with a clear error message. Your content is not affected. You’ll also see an admin notice reminding you to buy more credits.
Why was my push “skipped”?
A push is skipped when the URL is already being processed by IndexMeNow. This prevents duplicate credit usage. Wait for the current indexation to complete before pushing again.
Can I push the same URL multiple times?
Yes, but only after the previous indexation is complete. The plugin checks the URL status before each push to prevent duplicates.
Does auto-push work with scheduled posts?
Yes. When a scheduled post transitions to “published” status, it triggers the auto-push if enabled.
Can I limit auto-push to specific categories?
Yes. Use the Category Filter option in settings to select which categories should trigger auto-push. Posts in other categories can still be pushed manually.
How do I push all my existing content?
Use the Sitemap Push feature. Go to Settings > IndexMeNow, click “Load sitemap URLs”, select the URLs you want, and click “Push selected URLs”. This is ideal for initial bulk indexation.
Is my API key secure?
The API key is encoded before being stored in the database. It’s not stored in plain text.
What happens when I uninstall the plugin?
All plugin data is removed: options, push history table, post meta, and transient caches. Your IndexMeNow account and projects are not affected.
Does this plugin slow down my site?
No. Push operations are triggered only on specific actions (publish, update, manual click) and run via AJAX. There is no impact on frontend performance.
Can I use a custom sitemap URL?
Yes. Use the imn_w2_sitemap_url filter in your theme’s functions.php to specify a custom sitemap location: add_filter( ‘imn_w2_sitemap_url’, function() { return ‘https://example.com/custom-sitemap.xml’; } );
Is the API key secure?
Yes. The API key is encrypted using AES-256-CBC encryption before storage (if OpenSSL is available). On servers without OpenSSL, base64 encoding is used as a fallback.
