What's your review on rankmath instant indexing API

[Norman_drey]

How safe is the rankmath instant indexing plugin to a blog.?
Have you tried using it?
I'm seeing lots of people saying your post will get removed from search engine after few days,
Some said you'll face indexing issue in time coming.
Does it even affect my SEO and ranking?

It uses Google's Indexing API which is technically only meant to be used for short-lived content such as job posting listings or live broadcasts: https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/quickstart
RankMath itself states 'Please proceed with caution' on it's description. If your posts aren't getting indexed soon after posting the issue is usually a lack of backlinking or a problem with content quality. Save the indexers and indexing services for backlinks.

I don't catch why people is so obsessed with indexing pages at all costs
It's like those that want to get AdSense approved with 100 visits/mo.

I could understand that if you are a top site with 50K/visits month and you have detected that a f*kr is copycatting your site you may try to index as fast as possible to get the first in rule (although, reputation itself could beat anyone even if the former has indexed first).

Also, in the most rare case, of a burning churn&burn site that wants to squeeze the max out of the last breaths, if it's not super-fast indexing it may mean that the C&B is not already profitting as well as it could be.

Obviously I can understand that an extra $5 profit can mean something to some, but to Google it doesn't mean a s**t.

RankMath instant indexing as @Steptoe has already stated used the Google official API, which is great for what it is: announcing changes/edits in your posts, and remembering Google to index before sitemaps. It's plain adequate for its purpose. Anything beyond that is overpushing in 99,99% of the cases. Don't obsess to much with individual results in case they happen to you. Try to focus more long term if not a C&B site, and in that case, try to focus on churning and focusing on the most important things as much as you can, not on micro-specifics that burn the little time you have to achieve something.

I really never understand why they are so obsessed with indexing instantly. All I do is submit my link to GSC and wait. It doesn't even take that long, usually in a week it's index.

Haven't used it yet but will be using it in a AI blog side project, just to play around with it

I never needed instant indexing, as my articles get indexed within a few days. On my site with 30K articles, new articles get indexed within hours.

I understand but I'm writing on a news article, I need it done immediately

And you still rank?

I'm so concerned because I'm writing on trending news, so I'll need it indexed as soon as possible

Submit your site to be included in Google News, then.

I am in a very similar situation to this.

For my case would you recommend rankmath?

In this case I don't really care if something gets removed from the index after 30 days. But I really need things indexing inside 1-2 hours as opposed to 36 hours - otherwise I lose a lot of money.

You can use it if you want. It simply uses the Google indexing API, in a simple way, otherwise you would had to code it. I think that people is not realizing that ultimately this tool is using an official Google Tools. Is not some woo-woo magic from Rank Math. It's all official. The 30 day thing is kind of weird in most cases (probably abusing both in quality of content and spammyness of the pages). Completely unrelated to the indexing API itself.

the RankMath instant indexing plugin is generally safe to use on your blog. I haven't personally experienced any issues with my posts being removed or having indexing problems down the line. That said, like any tool or plugin, it's not a guaranteed fix for all your SEO woes - you'll still need to put in the work to create quality content and build high-quality backlinks if you want to see results.
