What This Page Does

Crawl Health and Indexing Status tracks how well Google can access and index your content. Using GSC data, it shows which pages are indexed, which are excluded (and why), and which have crawl errors. Daily tracking reveals trends — is indexing improving or declining?

Getting Started

  1. View the indexing summary — indexed, excluded, errored, and discovered counts
  2. Drill into exclusion reasons — noindex, canonicalised, soft 404, crawl anomaly
  3. Check crawl error details — server errors, redirect issues, blocked resources
  4. Track coverage trends — daily indexed page count over time

Key Features

  • Indexing coverage — total pages indexed vs submitted
  • Exclusion breakdown — categorised reasons for non-indexing
  • Crawl errors — server errors, redirects, blocked URLs
  • Coverage trends — daily tracking with change alerts
  • URL inspection — deep-dive into individual page indexing status

Tips & Best Practices

  • Target 85%+ indexing coverage for Authority tier gate
  • "Discovered but not indexed" is often a quality signal — improve those pages
  • Soft 404s waste crawl budget — either improve the content or redirect
  • Monitor for sudden indexing drops — they may indicate robots.txt or noindex changes
