Indexation
Indexation is the process by which search engines discover, crawl, and store web pages in their database (index) so they can be returned in search results.
A page must be indexed to appear in search results. The process involves discovery (via sitemaps and links), crawling (fetching the HTML), rendering when needed, and indexing.
Common indexing issues include noindex tags, canonical pointing elsewhere, robots.txt blocking, server errors, and low-quality content. Google Search Console's URL Inspection tool shows Google's known status for an individual URL.
Indxel notifies participating IndexNow engines about changed URLs and records authorized Search Console inspection results. It does not submit ordinary pages to Google or retry a restricted general-purpose submission.

Noindex
Noindex is a robots meta tag directive that instructs search engines to exclude a page from their search index, preventing it from appearing in search results.
Canonical URL
A canonical URL is an HTML link element that tells search engines which URL is the preferred version of a page, consolidating ranking signals when multiple URLs serve similar content.
Crawl Budget
Crawl budget is the number of URLs Googlebot will crawl on your site within a given period, determined by crawl rate limit (server capacity) and crawl demand (page importance).
Sitemap XML
An XML sitemap is a file that lists URLs on your website along with optional metadata (last modified date, change frequency, priority) to help search engines discover and crawl your pages.
