<b>RankMath Instant Indexing plugin: tested the free vs PRO split</b>

The most-installed 'instant index' WordPress plugin. Here's what each tier actually pings.

Setup: free plugin pings IndexNow (Bing) automatically on publish. PRO adds Google Indexing API hookups.

What it does well (free):
— Auto-submits to Bing/IndexNow with zero config — genuinely set-and-forget
— Manual 'submit URL' button for one-offs

Where it falls short:
— PRO's Google Indexing API piece still only legitimately works for JobPosting/BroadcastEvent — the plugin won't stop you misusing it on posts
— No submission log to audit failures in free
— Bulk Google submit tempts you into gray-hat territory

Pros: easiest IndexNow wiring in WP, free tier is enough for Bing.
Cons: dangles Google API misuse, thin logging.

Best for: WP blogs wanting one-click Bing freshness.

Not for: anyone treating the Google API toggle as a general index button — that's the trap.
