IndexPilot works behind the scenes to ensure your website content is submitted and indexed quickly—without any manual effort. Whether you’re publishing a blog post, launching a new product, or updating a page, IndexPilot makes sure search engines know about it fast.
🚀 What Happens When You Add a Website to IndexPilot?
Once you connect your website, IndexPilot automatically begins monitoring and submitting your content. Here's how it works step by step:
🔍 Step 1: We Find Your Content
IndexPilot scans your website’s sitemap every hour to discover content. This includes:
All existing pages and posts
Last modified timestamps
Change frequency hints
We look for your sitemap at common locations like:
yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xmlyourwebsite.com/sitemap_index.xml
⚡ Step 2: Instant Submission for New Content
When you publish new content:
IndexPilot detects on the latest hourly sitemap crawl
We instantly submit the new URL to search engines
No need to manually notify anyone—it’s automatic
Your content reaches search engines like Google and Bing immediately instead of waiting hours (or days) to be crawled.
🕐 Step 3: Hourly Monitoring
Every hour, IndexPilot:
Checks your sitemap for updates
Detects new, updated, or removed pages
Submits only new or changed content
This ensures quick reaction without spamming search engines with redundant data.
🌅 Step 4: Daily Full Sync
Once per day, IndexPilot:
Performs a full scan of your sitemap
Re-submits your complete sitemap to Google Search Console
Ensures all content is accounted for
Keeps your IndexPilot dashboard fully in sync
