IndexNow for URL submission. Anyone using it in ZenCart?

[wsworx]

I have been using SitemapXML and it has been doing a good job with submissions to Google, but Bing does not work.
I have been reading about IndexNow for site submissions, but I am unsure how to implement it in ZenCart.
Is anyone out there using IndexNow with their ZenCart install?

Bing doesn't take the anonymous sitemap submissions anymore that Sitemap XML sends.

Correct hence the desire to use IndexNow

Anyone done any sort of hacklet/starting point for this?

I suspect it doesn't get any interest because Google still doesn't support indexnow.

Fire your "SEO" consultants. (Most of these "SEO experts" are charlatans, out there to steal your cash.) Google does not support indexnow. All you need do is:
1. Make sure your content is relevant, accurate, informative, and useful to your visitors. Avoid anything that is considered "duplicate content".
2. Your website obeys all HTML and WEB protocols.
3. Loads efficiently on all devices, with good imagery and has good overall operational efficiency.
4. Has logical and accurate navigation and no internal links that are "dead".
5. Via your Google account, alert Google to specific and important URL's on your website.

Google decides if your content is worth indexing... nothing you can do (other than the above) influences indexing.
