Changelog

Product updates and improvements for IndexBoost.

2026-10-04

  • Changed: Deleting your account now keeps billing records for accounting but unlinks them from your email, so you can sign up again with the same Google account at any time.

2026-09-10

  • Added: A refresh button on each link lets you request its current Google indexing status (Search Console URL Inspection API) on demand, instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.
  • Added: When a link comes back as not indexed, a "submit for indexing" button lets you re-submit it to Google's Indexing API right away.
  • Added: The MCP server can now check a URL's Google indexing status and submit a URL to the Google Indexing API on your behalf.

2026-09-08

  • Added: A free, no-signup Domain Rating Checker tool at /tools, the start of a growing library of free SEO tools.
  • Added: The MCP server can now look up the Ahrefs Domain Rating, Ahrefs Rank, and homepage URL Rating for any domain — your own site or a competitor's.

2026-09-06

  • Added: Your site page now shows a Google Search Console card with clicks, impressions, average CTR and average position for the last 7 days, refreshed automatically every hour.

2026-09-04

  • Added: A new site setting lets you turn on automatic syncing of sitemaps to Google Search Console — newly discovered sitemaps are submitted for you as soon as they're found.
  • Added: A matching site setting for Bing Webmaster Tools — turn it on to have newly discovered sitemaps submitted to Bing automatically too.
  • Added: The MCP server can now submit a sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools, list what's currently submitted to Google Search Console or Bing, and update a site's sitemap auto-sync settings on your behalf.
  • Added: With auto-sync enabled, sitemaps are now reconciled with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools daily, not just when first discovered — any of your sitemaps missing there get submitted, and any they know about that we didn't get added to your site automatically.

2026-09-03

  • Added: Your site's Ahrefs Domain Rank is now shown on the site page, refreshed automatically when a site is imported and once daily after that.

2026-09-02

  • Added: An MCP server so you can connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible AI client to your account. Generate a token from the new MCP page in the dashboard to let it check your sites' submission progress, links, backlinks and billing, request an on-demand IndexNow re-submission of a URL, and add or remove sitemaps in Google Search Console.

2026-08-28

  • Fixed: Connecting a Google account could fail to import your sites with a database error. Signing in and importing your Search Console sites now works reliably again.

2026-08-27

  • Fixed: URLs that only differ by a #fragment or a ref/fbclid/gclid/etc. tracking parameter are no longer submitted as separate links.
  • Added: A banner now appears on the site page when auto-indexing is off, with a one-click button to turn it on.
  • Added: Backlinks tracking — see which backlinks to your site Google and Bing already know about.
  • Added: A /llms.txt file describing IndexBoost is now published so AI assistants and LLMs can accurately reference the product.
  • Added: You can now permanently delete your account and its data from the Billing page.
  • Fixed: Google account connections stay valid longer — access tokens are now refreshed proactively before they expire instead of only when something needed them.
  • Added: Newly verified domains in Google Search Console are now picked up automatically, without needing to reconnect your Google account.
  • Added: Sites verified under the same Bing Webmaster account as one you've already connected are now discovered and added automatically.
  • Fixed: Pages that Google marked as not-yet-indexed were sometimes never checked again. They're now retried on a regular schedule even for sites that keep discovering lots of new pages.
  • Added: The site page now shows a submission progress bar — how many links have been submitted so far, how many are left, and roughly how many days it'll take given the daily submission limit.
  • Added: IndexBoost now detects when a site runs on beehiiv, Substack, or Kit and shows a link to that platform's custom-domain setup guide, since a custom domain is needed before those posts can be discovered and submitted.
  • Changed: Google submissions are now shared more fairly when multiple of your sites use the same Google account — the busiest site can no longer use up the whole day's quota, and newest content is prioritized while older queued pages are swept in near the end of the day.

2026-08-09

  • Added: A dedicated page to manage your Google service accounts.
  • Changed: Upgraded the platform to the latest Symfony release for better performance and security.

2025-09-23

  • Added: Upload your own Google service account instead of waiting for one to be provisioned automatically.

2025-02-01

  • Fixed: Disabled sites are no longer checked for indexing status, avoiding wasted API calls.

2025-01-28

  • Fixed: Bing URL submissions now respect daily quotas instead of failing when the limit is reached.
