SEOCrawl and indexation

Get the right pages crawled and indexed.

A page that is not crawled or not indexed cannot rank or be cited, however good it is. We fix what search engines cannot reach, what they waste budget on, and what they quietly refuse to index, so the pages that matter are the ones that get seen.

The short answer

Crawl and indexation is the technical SEO work of controlling which of your pages search engines discover, fetch and keep in their index. It covers robots rules, XML sitemaps, internal links, canonical signals, status codes and crawl-budget efficiency, so important pages are indexed and rendering while thin, duplicate and dead URLs are kept out. Done well it stops budget being spent on pages that will never earn a visit, and makes sure the ones that make you money are eligible to rank and be quoted.

In depth

Crawl and indexation, in full.

Indexation problems rarely announce themselves. They show up as a plateau, a launch that never took off, or rankings that never quite arrive despite good content and links. Underneath, a robots rule, a canonical conflict or a flat architecture is keeping your best pages out of the index.

We treat it as diagnosis before prescription: read what search engines actually do on your site, separate the real blockers from cosmetic warnings, and fix the causes in the templates rather than page by page.

What it covers

Crawl and indexation, broken down.

How we run it

The way we run Crawl and indexation.

01

Instrument

Crawl, log files and Search Console together, so we see genuine crawler and index behaviour, not assumptions.

02

Fix at the source

Robots, canonicals, sitemaps, internal links and status codes corrected in the templates and configuration.

03

Monitor coverage

Index coverage tracked over time, so a new template or migration does not quietly drop your pages.

Our approach

How we approach Crawl and indexation.

Find what is not indexed, and why

We use Search Console, a full crawl and server logs to see which important pages are excluded, which are quietly dropping out, and what is standing in the way.

Spend crawl budget where it pays

Parameter noise, dead redirects and infinite spaces waste the budget search engines give you. We consolidate them so crawlers reach the pages that matter.

One clear signal per page

Robots rules, canonicals, sitemaps and internal links are made to agree, so nothing contradicts and confuses what should be indexed.

Kept clean as the site changes

New templates and CMS changes reintroduce crawl and index problems. We monitor coverage so regressions are caught before they cost rankings.

Why us

Read from real crawler behaviour, not a tool export

Indexation is judgement work: a quiet canonical conflict on a money page outweighs a thousand cosmetic warnings on pages nobody visits. We work from logs and Search Console so we fix what actually keeps you out of the index.

Logs over assumptions

Server logs show what search engines genuinely fetch, which is often very different from what a crawling tool assumes.

Prioritised by revenue

We fix the blockers on the pages that make money first, not the longest list of low-impact warnings.

Verified against the index

Every change is checked against live crawl and index behaviour before it is called done.

Common questions

Crawl and indexation: common questions.

Why are my pages not being indexed?

Usually a robots rule, a canonical pointing elsewhere, thin or duplicate content, or a rendering issue that hides the content from a crawler. We diagnose the specific cause from Search Console and a crawl rather than guessing.

What is crawl budget, and do I need to worry about it?

Crawl budget is roughly how much crawling search engines will do on your site. Small sites rarely need to worry; large or messy ones waste it on parameter noise and dead URLs, starving the pages that matter. We consolidate that waste.

How is this different from technical SEO generally?

It is the part of technical SEO that decides what gets discovered and indexed at all. It sits alongside rendering, architecture and speed, and it is usually where the fastest gains hide, because you are removing a ceiling rather than pushing against one.

Will you remove pages from the index?

Where they hurt you, yes. Thin, duplicate or obsolete pages diluting your signals are better consolidated or noindexed so authority points at one strong page instead of scattering across many weak ones.
