 > > we recommend an open approach, open to all search engines having an
 API to receive notification of change.
 >
 > If I'm interpreting this correctly, Bing has created and implemented an
 internal API for this, and is recommending other search engines follow
 their lead. But there is no agreed upon, standardized, and widely adopted
 way to do this. This would make implementing difficult as each provider
 could have their own requirements.
 >
 > > We still need to have a verification mechanism to verify that a Site A
 does not publish URLs for a Site B as Site B may not be happy to see
 search engines crawler visiting URLs that it does not have or didn’t
 change; that’s where the crawler will help verifying ownership with some
 key solution design to establish.
 >
 > Unless this can happen seamlessly without user interaction, I'm still
 thinking this is not the best feature to include in WordPress Core
 directly. I'm not at all against the concept, it just seems this is too
 early for Core to support it industry wide. If there were an industry wide
 specification that everyone was adopting and using, this would be much
 easier.
 > > Replying to [comment:17 desrosj]: Today Microsoft Bing and Yandex,
 came up with this search industry wide specification
 https://www.indexnow.org/ open to all major search engines; already
 supported by  Microsoft Bing, Yandex and few actors in the industry as
 cloudflare and many listed as adopting soon

 > That said, I'm not against exploring ways to make this easier to
 accomplish. For example, maybe expanding how update services work.
 >
 > I'm wondering if @flixos90, @adamsilverstein, @westonruter, @swissspidy,
 or @tweetythierry can provide any insight into how and if this approach is
 being implemented on the Google side.
