Bing & IndexNow Indexing Workflow Improvements

This release improves both the setup experience and day-to-day indexing management for Bing and IndexNow.

Product changes

  • Simplified Bing onboarding

    • Users can connect Bing Webmaster Tools from Site Settings.

    • The OAuth flow returns users to the relevant site context.

  • Automatic Bing verification attempt

    • After Bing OAuth success, Cromojo attempts to add/verify the site automatically when possible.

    • This reduces manual verification friction and helps users reach an active state faster.

  • Clearer integration states

    • Bing status is now surfaced in the UI as Not Connected, Not Verified, or Active.

    • Users get clearer guidance on what action is needed next.

  • Expanded Bing indexing UX

    • Added a dedicated Bing indexing overview with URL-level visibility and actions.

    • Added a dedicated sitemaps management view (submit/delete + status monitoring).

  • IndexNow settings improvements

    • IndexNow setup, verification, and enable/disable controls are integrated into settings.

    • Auto-index behavior is configurable with validation around prerequisites.

User impact

Users should see a noticeably smoother Bing setup, clearer integration status, and stronger control over indexing actions, while IndexNow setup and automation are now easier to configure and verify.

Important

Users currently using the Bing API will need to connect to the new Bing OAuth and IndexNow.
