Description

I have been looking at creating a Copilot Agent for Script Samples and noticed no results, e.g. the generated site isn't being indexed property by Bing or recently this has stopped in the last week or so.

Looking at SEO tools and its flagging IndexNow is not setup on the site. https://www.bing.com/indexnow/getstarted
The configuration appears to favour the hostname, and then sub-urls.

Can we add a text file and reference all the PnP Repos with sites to the URLs fragment in step 3.
I was thinking we can do this on individual repos but since they are all connected then lets reference all of them.

I have a key and key file (see attached): 1b648b4546244e86bfb986feb97aa7ea
1b648b4546244e86bfb986feb97aa7ea.txt
We need to host the file on the root of the site.

I have checked and I cannot get Bing results in script samples nor the main community site.
I am less familiar with the Hugo setup on this site.

Happy to discuss

Research direction

Inspect the Hugo setup and generated site output to find the entry point for a file served at the site root; use the attached IndexNow key file and the issue's requested PnP site URLs as requirements. Done means the key file is available at the root of the generated site and the relevant URLs are referenced for Bing, with the generated output checked to confirm both.
