An indexing status check shows whether Google crawled a page, analyzed its content, and stored it in the search index. A page can be successfully read yet remain unindexed and therefore ineligible to appear in search results. section 11.3
Use the check to keep published pages visible:
- Open Google Search Console and review indexing status reports for your site’s pages. section 11.3
- Check periodically because an unindexed page’s content is not analyzed or stored for search display. section 11.3
A published page is missing
Google’s crawler reads a page successfully, but Google does not index it. The page’s content is then unavailable for display in search results, so its indexing status needs attention. section 11.3
