Page indexing is whether Google has crawled a page and stored it in its index, so it can appear in search results. A page that isn't indexed gets no impressions or clicks, however good it is. Search Console's URL Inspection tool shows a page's status, its last crawl and the reason when it's left out.
What it doesn't do: Being indexed doesn't mean ranking. It only means the page can appear.
Updated
Each week, Google's URL Inspection runs on the client's pages that had search impressions in the last 13 weeks, revenue pages first. Each page is rechecked about every 14 days, with up to 1,800 inspections a day, through the same read-only Search Console access.
Client › Indexing lists each page with its verdict, coverage state, last crawl and the date it was inspected, with pages that aren't indexed first.
A page that had impressions or brought revenue and isn't in the index becomes a Not indexed finding, with the coverage state and last crawl. Its fix reads: check the page's indexing settings and canonical, then request indexing in Search Console. When a page vanishes from results, the ranking drop card also says whether it's still in the index.
| Reason | What it means | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| noindex tag | The page tells search engines not to index it. | Remove the tag if the page should rank. |
| Canonical points elsewhere | The page names another URL as the main version. | Point the canonical at the page itself, or merge the two. |
| Blocked by robots.txt | Google isn't allowed to crawl the URL. | Allow the path in robots.txt. |
| Crawled, not indexed | Google read the page and chose not to keep it. | Make the page clearly useful and distinct, and link to it from strong pages. |
| Duplicate without a canonical | Google sees the page as a copy of another. | Set a canonical, or merge the duplicates. |
| Returns an error | The page answers with a 404 or a server error. | Fix the page or redirect the URL. |
RankUpside's weekly page check also reads the canonical and noindex on every page with an open fix.
