Joost de Valk announced at YoastCon that the popular WordPress plugin, Yoast SEO, will provide live indexing with both Google and Bing starting next month.

I’ll be honest, I am a bit confused on how this will work with Google but I assume with Bing – they are working with their new submit URL API.

They explained on their blog “For Google the details on this are not entirely determined yet, but a Google Search Console account will probably be required.” So it seems they aren’t clear and for some reason, I doubt it would be the Indexing API because that is highly restricted to specific types of content.

Forum discussion at Twitter.

Update from Bing:

Still waiting on Google…
