Most AI assistants don't crawl the web themselves — they read from a search index someone else built. CrawlReady pushes your new and changed pages straight into the Bing index (ChatGPT search, Copilot) and the Google index (Search, AI Overviews) the moment they're ready, instead of waiting for a crawl schedule to get around to you.
It doesn't matter how well written or well structured a page is if the index an assistant reads from has never seen it — it can't be quoted, because it can't be found. Search engines find new pages by crawling on a schedule they set, which can take days or weeks for a new or small site. When someone asks an assistant about your product this week, a page indexed next month is absent from the answer, not just late.
Five signals feed the same submission pipeline — no manual URL-by-URL submitting.
when a URL appears in it or its lastmod moves forward
when we detect it actually changed
via our API, or a Vercel / Netlify webhook
when a bot requests a page your sitemap never declared
from CI, our CLI, or the Indexing API
Engines deprioritise sites that resubmit unchanged pages, so CrawlReady only sends a page again once the content has actually changed — and not more than once a day even then. A page submitted repeatedly that still isn't indexed stops being resubmitted automatically, because more submissions stop being the answer at that point.
via IndexNow
ChatGPT search and Microsoft Copilot both read from the Bing index. One IndexNow push reaches Bing — and Yandex, Naver, Seznam and Yep along with it.
via the Google Indexing API
Google does not take part in IndexNow — it needs its own connection through a Google Cloud project you own. This is what Google Search, AI Overviews, and Gemini (when it searches) read from.
Google indexing, coverage checks, and a higher daily submission cap are normally a Pro-plan feature. During the beta, any plan can unlock them for free by adding one visible link.
Paste a plain, dofollow "Indexed by CrawlReady" link into your site's footer, visible to visitors.
One click in the dashboard checks the link is real, dofollow, and visible — then unlocks the perk immediately.
We recheck weekly. If the badge goes missing, you get a 7-day grace period before the perk pauses.
<a href="https://www.crawlready.app">Indexed by CrawlReady</a>Submitted count, plus a banner the moment something blocks them — most often an unpublished IndexNow key file.
Coverage, read back from Google — the only engine that reports which URLs actually made the index. Bing-only submissions show as not checked, never a guess.
Median time from submission to confirmed indexing — the number that tells you whether any of this is actually working.
