What it means
IndexNow lets a website tell search engines such as Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver that a URL has changed, instead of waiting for them to recrawl. A submission to one participating engine is shared with the others.
Why it matters for your business
It speeds up discovery on those engines. Google does not use IndexNow, so a sitemap and Search Console remain essential for Google.
