INDEXING & CRAWLABILITY

Make the right URLs reachable, renderable and eligible for indexing.

Indexing problems often begin earlier than ranking. The first question is whether the intended page can be discovered, requested, rendered, canonicalised and selected for indexing.

Each visual is selected for this page by meaning, not simply by keyword similarity.

01

Follow the lifecycle

Separate discovery, crawl, render, canonical selection and indexing. A problem at one stage can look like a content problem later.

02

Common checks

  • HTTP status and redirect behaviour
  • robots.txt and meta robots
  • Canonical targets
  • Sitemap inclusion
  • Internal links
  • Rendered HTML and important content
  • Duplicate or near-duplicate URL patterns
03

Do not force everything into the index

Low-value utility, private, duplicate or incomplete pages may be better excluded. The aim is a useful index, not the largest possible one.

04

Use evidence

Search Console, server responses and rendered source are stronger evidence than assumptions based on what a browser appears to show.
