Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common technical and licensing questions.
Can I use these extensions alongside Yoast SEO or Rank Math? expand_more
Yes. IndexFlow companions are designed to coexist cleanly. Simply disable the default XML sitemap module inside your main SEO suite and let IndexFlow manage the XML and Google News feeds with zero conflicts.
Why is a Google Cloud project needed for Google News Advanced? expand_more
Because Google discontinued unauthenticated ping endpoints, automated indexing requires the official Search Console API. Setup takes only a few minutes, is covered by Google's free quota, and full documentation is provided.
What happens after the 1-year license period? expand_more
The plugin continues to function normally on your website without interruption. Renewing your license simply provides continued plugin updates and support desk access. Lifetime licenses are also available.
