URL indexing page with URL submission input, indexing status cards, and URL status table
Use this page to monitor index coverage and resolve blocked or failed URLs before visibility drops.

​
Questions this page should answer

  1. Are key pages being indexed correctly?
  2. Which URLs are failing indexing and why?
  3. Which indexing actions should happen first this week?

​
Before you analyze

  • Start with high-priority page groups (money pages and key content hubs).
  • Review status counts before checking individual URLs.
  • Separate Errored pages from pages that are simply not yet discovered.

​
What this page gives you

  • URL submission tools (Check Status, Request Indexing).
  • Indexing status cards:
    • All URLs
    • Indexed URLs
    • Discovered
    • Unknown to Google
    • Indexing requested
    • Errored
  • A URL-level status table with last-check information.

​
How to read the status cards

  • All URLs: tracked URLs in this project.
  • Indexed URLs: pages currently known and indexed.
  • Discovered: found but not yet fully indexed.
  • Unknown to Google: not recognized in index checks.
  • Indexing requested: URLs sent for indexing recently.
  • Errored: URLs with indexing check failures.
How to interpret:
  • High Errored count means direct indexing risk.
  • Large gap between All URLs and Indexed URLs means coverage opportunity.
  • Rising Unknown to Google often means discovery or sitemap issues.

​
How to use the URL table

Use the table to create an execution queue:
  • Sort and review failed URLs first.
  • Group issues by path/template to find shared root causes.
  • Check Last checked to avoid acting on stale assumptions.
Use bulk actions:
  • Load URLs from sitemap to refresh candidate URLs.
  • Index all URLs or targeted requests after fixes are live.

​
Quick weekly checklist

  1. Review status-card changes from last week.
  2. Triage Errored URLs first.
  3. Submit fixed priority URLs for re-indexing.
  4. Validate status movement after recheck.
  5. Escalate repeated failures to engineering.

​
What to fix first

Pattern in URL indexingWhat it usually meansRecommended action
High errored countTechnical/indexing blockers are unresolvedFix root cause and re-request indexing for priority URLs
Large unknown-to-google segmentDiscovery pathway is weakValidate sitemap, internal links, and crawl access
Many discovered but not indexed URLsQuality/signaling gapImprove page quality and internal support links
Important page stuck unindexedDirect business riskPrioritize page-level fix and immediate re-index request

​
Team routine

  1. Weekly: index-status review and top-priority URL triage.
  2. Bi-weekly: investigate recurring failure patterns.
  3. Monthly: report coverage growth and persistent indexing blockers.

​
Keep in mind

  • Indexing changes may take time after requests.
  • Requesting indexing without fixing root cause rarely works.
  • Priority should follow business impact, not URL count alone.
