Google: The Indexing API is inundated by Bloggers/Spammers trying to look Legit
Posted by on May 18, 2026 at 12:34 amThanks to Barry Schwartz (aka Rustybrick on X) for this update. Indexing services and Manual Crawl requests are not how you get indexed.
No – Google won't be introducing an IndexNow service.
Indexing, crawling and Ranking are all controlled by Authority

Google could’ve easily fixed this years ago. For instance, the indexing api is mostly meant for job listings that naturally churn. You could just check for job schema presence on submitted URLs. If a high % doesn’t have it, ban the domain from submitting.

Google should have done this years before
