SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing

SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing notifies Google, Bing, and Yandex the instant you publish, update, or delete a post or page on your WordPress website.

Instead of waiting days or weeks for search engine bots to crawl your XML sitemap, SoftReviewed Multi-Engine Indexing pushes real-time notifications directly to search engine crawlers via their official APIs within seconds.
