Hey @Peter-E. I’m assuming that you are specifically asking about whether or not Weebly allows us to add text files to our sites, for the purpose of verifying ownership of our sites with IndexNow. If so, then please let me know and I’ll do a little more research, which might include PMing with a Square product manager that might be able to help.
Otherwise, IndexNow seems to be triggered by us submitting a URL to tell it that some form of update has happened to our website. That, of course, must be done manually after we make site changes.
Lastly, in my research I learned that while Google is running limited tests to help them decide if they want to jump on board here, currently IndexNow will not force Google’s bots to speed up their re-indexing tasks. Even Duck Duck Go is not onboard with this completely. It seems to be limited to Bing and a few lesser known search engines right now, so the effects will be extremely limited. I only mention this so that it is not a surprise later if you didn’t already know it.
Please let me know if I understood your question and, if so, I’ll see what I can find out.
