How to Get Your Shopify Store Indexed Faster with IndexNow
- 15 Aug, 2025
Running a Shopify store means constantly updating products, launching collections, and running promotions. But here’s the catch: search engines can take days — sometimes weeks — to notice those changes. And in ecommerce, every day your new page isn’t indexed is traffic (and revenue) you’re missing.
⚡ What Is IndexNow (and Why It Matters for Shopify)?
IndexNow is a protocol that lets your site instantly “ping” search engines like Bing, Yandex, and others whenever something changes. Instead of waiting for bots to eventually crawl your store, you’re telling search engines directly:
Hey, I’ve got new content — index it now.
This means:
-
New products appear in search results faster
-
SEO changes (like titles, descriptions, or blogs) are recognized immediately
-
Out-of-stock or deleted pages are updated quicker, reducing dead links
🛑 The Problem: Shopify Doesn’t Do This Out of the Box
Shopify is excellent for ecommerce, but it doesn’t natively support IndexNow. By default, you’re relying on traditional crawling schedules that you can’t control. That’s why new products or seasonal sales sometimes don’t show up in search results until it’s too late.
✅ The Fix: IndexNow App for Shopify
That’s where our IndexNow App for Shopify comes in. It works quietly in the background to keep search engines in sync with your store.
Here’s what it does:
-
Instantly notifies search engines when you add, update, or delete products and pages
-
Requires zero technical setup — just install and go
-
Works with products, collections, blogs, and content pages
-
Keeps your store SEO-friendly without extra work
👀 Who Should Use It?
The IndexNow app is a game-changer for:
-
Stores with frequent product launches
-
Merchants running flash sales or promotions
-
Brands that update SEO often and need those changes to stick fast
-
New stores trying to gain visibility quickly
🧠 Bonus: How This Connects to AI Tools Like Bing Copilot
AI-powered assistants like Bing Copilot (and ChatGPT with browsing enabled) rely heavily on search engine data. The faster Bing indexes your store, the faster your content can be discoverable through these tools.
So while IndexNow doesn’t send info directly to AI models, it ensures your Shopify store is in the right place at the right time for them to find it.
