This guide walks you through adding IndexNow to your HubSpot portal using IndexNow Sync. The whole setup takes around 10 minutes and requires no code — just a few browser-based steps.
Install IndexNow SyncBefore beginning the setup, make sure you have the following:
Go to the IndexNow Sync install page and click Install on HubSpot. You'll be taken to HubSpot's OAuth authorisation screen.
Review the permissions requested — IndexNow Sync needs read access to your published content so it can detect new and updated pages — then click Connect app.
Once connected, you'll be redirected to the IndexNow Sync dashboard inside HubSpot. The app is installed but not yet active — you'll need to complete the key setup in the next steps.
IndexNow Sync requires an active subscription to run. From the dashboard, click Subscribe and choose your plan — $15/month or $150/year.
Payment is handled by Stripe. Once complete, you'll be returned to the IndexNow Sync dashboard and the service will be ready to configure.

Now create a URL redirect so the key file is accessible at your domain root:

Back in the IndexNow Sync dashboard inside HubSpot, go to Settings.
Paste your IndexNow API key into the key field and enter the exact filename of your key file (e.g. abc123.txt). Save your settings.
IndexNow Sync will now use this key for all URL submissions to Bing.
