When to use Crawling tools

  • Pages are missing from Google or indexed more slowly than expected.
  • You have just migrated, redesigned or changed URL structure.
  • A large site needs its crawl paths, orphan pages and parameters checked.

How to read the results

  • A page can be crawlable yet not indexable: look at status code, noindex and canonical together.
  • Only Google Search Console gives a definitive index status; these tools show the signals that lead to it.
  • Compare the sitemap against a real crawl: URLs only in one of them are the ones to investigate.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using robots.txt to remove pages from results; use noindex and leave the page crawlable.
  • Canonicalising to a URL that redirects or is noindexed.
  • Putting parameter and faceted URLs in the sitemap.
