Crawlability and Indexing
Crawlability and indexing are essential parts of technical SEO that ensure search engines can discover, understand, and rank your website’s pages. Crawlability refers to how easily search engine bots can navigate your site, while indexing ensures your pages are stored in search engine databases for ranking.
Here’s what’s included in optimizing crawlability and indexing:
- Robots.txt Optimization – Configuring robots.txt files to guide search engine crawlers to the right pages.
- XML Sitemap Creation – Providing search engines with a roadmap of your site’s structure for efficient crawling.
- Fixing Crawl Errors – Identifying and resolving issues like blocked pages or server errors.
- Canonical Tags – Avoiding duplicate content issues by specifying the preferred version of a page.
- Noindex Tags – Preventing irrelevant or low-value pages from being indexed.
By improving crawlability and indexing, your website becomes more accessible to search engines.
