Hello @jabeztadesse,
Thank you for reaching out!
- With Instant Indexing turned on, pages can be indexed within hours to a few days. Without it, indexing can take several weeks, depending on various factors like site authority and crawl budget.
- The built-in instant indexing feature in Rank Math is for the IndexNow API which supports submitting URLs to Bing or Yandex. For Google, you’ll have to install a separate plugin: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/
- No, Google does not penalize sites for using Instant Indexing. It’s a legitimate method provided by Google to help get your content indexed faster.
Hope that helps.
It helps, thanks @rankmathsupport
I installed the separate plugin. Are there additional steps I need to take or just install and turn on instant indexing in the main plugin and be all set?

No Ranck Match Seo, coloquei a chave em JPSON nas configurações da API de indexação instantânea do Google, mas no Console não envia para API com sucesso, aparece somente update e a página. Como devo proceder? Todas as configurações no Google Cloud estão ok.
