What Is Google Indexing?
Google indexing is the process of storing and organizing information discovered from webpages so that those pages can potentially appear in search results.
Not every crawled page is necessarily indexed. Google evaluates pages before deciding whether to include them in its index.
Crawling vs Indexing
Crawling is the process of discovering and fetching webpages. Indexing is the process of analyzing and storing information about those pages.
Understanding the difference can help website owners troubleshoot why a page has not appeared in Google Search.
What Can Affect Indexing?
Technical problems, duplicate content, blocked crawling, poor internal linking, and other factors can affect how search engines process your pages.
