What Are Website Crawling and Indexing Issues?
Crawling and indexing issues occur when Google cannot efficiently find, understand, or add a website's important pages to its search results. These problems appear in Google Search Console with statuses like "Discovered — currently not indexed" or "Crawled — currently not indexed". Such issues prevent service pages, product URLs, and blog posts from ranking and attracting organic traffic.
Our Crawling & Indexing Services
We perform specific technical corrections to help search engines crawl and index a website's priority pages. We do not provide a report of recommendations; we complete the technical work directly.
Crawl Budget Management
- Crawl Budget Analysis: We analyse server log files and use Screaming Frog data to identify crawl waste. We then stop Googlebot from crawling low-value URLs, including faceted navigation, duplicate pages, and unnecessary redirects.
Technical File Configuration
- XML Sitemap Management: We build, submit, and manage dynamic XML sitemaps. These sitemaps accurately show your site structure and help search engines find new pages quickly.
- Robots.txt Configuration: We write and manage your robots.txt file to provide clear instructions to search engine crawlers. This action prevents them from accessing non-public areas and conserves crawl budget.
On-Page Signal Correction
- Canonical Tag Implementation: We use `rel="canonical"` tags to fix duplicate content issues. This process consolidates ranking signals to a single URL, a standard practice for e-commerce SEO in Kenya.
- Redirect & HTTP Status Code Audits: We find and repair broken internal links that produce 404 errors. We also correct redirect chains, such as 302s used instead of 301s, that waste crawl budget and pass less authority.
Advanced Indexing Methods
- Google Search Console Indexing API Setup: We configure the Indexing API for websites with time-sensitive content. This method is suitable for job boards or news sites and allows for near-instant indexing requests.
Our Process for Crawling & Indexing Audits
Our service moves from technical analysis to direct implementation and monitoring within a defined schedule.
- Onboarding & Access (Day 1-2): You give us full access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, and your website's CMS. You also provide server log files if they are available.
- Technical Audit & Strategy (Day 3-5): Our team performs a complete website crawl and log file analysis. We provide a Crawl & Indexing Audit Report that details all identified issues and our plan for fixing them.
- Implementation (Day 6-10): We perform the technical fixes on your website. The work includes updating the robots.txt file, creating new sitemaps, adding canonical tags, and correcting broken links or redirects.
- Validation & Monitoring (Day 11+): We use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console to confirm the fixes have worked and to monitor indexing status. For monthly retainers, we supply a monthly Indexing Health Report.
Outcomes of Professional Indexing Services
Our crawling and indexing services produce measurable improvements to a website's search engine visibility.
- Faster Indexing for New Content: New pages, products, or posts can appear in search results within days instead of weeks or months.
- Increased Organic Traffic Potential: By ensuring all valuable pages are indexed, the website has more opportunities to earn qualified search traffic.
- Improved Content ROI: The service ensures that budget spent on content creation is not wasted on pages that Google cannot index or rank.
- Recovery from Site Migrations: We resolve common indexing faults that cause traffic loss after a website redesign, a function of our technical SEO services.
- Improved Search Visibility: A technically sound website that is easy for Google to crawl and index is more visible in search results, as shown in our case studies.
Calculating the ROI of Indexing Services
An unindexed page generates no organic traffic, leads, or sales. Our service corrects the technical foundation of a website to ensure content and link building investments produce a measurable return. The return on investment is calculated by the revenue generated from pages that become visible and rank in Google Search after our technical fixes are complete.
