IndexNow is a simple way to ping search engines (like Bing) the instant you publish or update a page. Setup takes one small file and a redirect. Follow the steps for your platform.

How it works

Cromojo gives you an API key file. You host that file on your site so search engines can confirm it’s really you, then click Verify in Cromojo. After that, Cromojo can submit changes through IndexNow automatically.

For Webflow

Since Webflow doesn’t have a built-in integration for IndexNow, here’s a method you can try:

  1. Upload your API key file

    1. Upload yourapitoken.txt file to your Webflow Assets panel.

    2. Once uploaded, copy the URL of the hosted file.

  2. Set up a 301 Redirect

    1. Go to Site Settings β†’ Publishing β†’ 301 Redirects.

    2. Add a redirect like this:

      1. /indexnowapitoken.txt β†’ /path-to-asset/indexnowapitoken.txt

    3. This will allow the file to be accessible at https://www.domain.com/indexnowapitoken.txt.

  3. Publish your site

  4. Back on Cromojo, click Verify


For WordPress

  1. Upload your API key file

    1. Go to Media β†’ Add New and upload your yourapitoken.txt file.

    2. Once uploaded, copy the file URL (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/yourapitoken.txt).

  2. Set up a 301 Redirect

    1. If you use a plugin like Redirection or Yoast SEO Premium:

      • Add a redirect from /yourapitoken.txt β†’ the full media URL from step 1.

  3. Publish / save your changes

  4. Back on Cromojo, click Verify


For Shopify

  1. Upload your API key file

    1. Go to Settings β†’ Files and upload your yourapitoken.txt file.

    2. Copy the URL of the uploaded file.

  2. Set up a redirect

    1. Go to Online Store β†’ Navigation β†’ URL Redirects.

    2. Add a redirect:

      • /yourapitoken.txt β†’ the Shopify CDN URL from step 1

  3. Back on Cromojo, click Verify


For Squarespace

  1. Upload your API key file

    1. Squarespace doesn't have a general-purpose file library, but you can upload the file as a downloadable digital product or attach it via a File Block on a hidden page.

    2. Copy the hosted file URL.

  2. Set up a URL Mapping

    1. Go to Settings β†’ Advanced β†’ URL Mappings.

    2. Add a rule to redirect /yourapitoken.txt to the hosted file URL.

  3. Back on Cromojo, click Verify

    1. Go to your Wix Dashboard β†’ Media Manager and upload your yourapitoken.txt file.

    2. Copy the file URL.
