#Indexing
Getting pages discovered, crawled and indexed, and understanding why some are not. We cover how search engines find new pages, what the common Search Console statuses actually mean, and how sitemaps and IndexNow fit in. You will find the difference between a page that is not indexed yet and one that has been judged not worth indexing. We also cover the settings that block indexing by accident, which are more common than people expect. Nothing here can force a page into results, and we say so.
