Best practices

Recommendations from official docs

Indexability comes before rankings

A page must be crawlable and indexable before it can rank or appear in AI search. Fix 404/5xx errors and noindex tags on money pages first.

Use noindex intentionally

Apply noindex to thank-you pages, internal search results, thin duplicates, and staging — not to important product or blog URLs by mistake.

Align canonical with index intent

If a URL canonicalizes to another page, Google may index the canonical target instead. Ensure the URL you want indexed is the canonical itself or points correctly.

Check rendered vs raw HTML

JavaScript-only noindex tags may not appear in initial HTML. Our visibility gap check helps catch content bots cannot see without rendering.

How to fix

Step-by-step action plan

  1. 1 Remove accidental noindex from <meta name="robots"> on pages you want indexed.
  2. 2 Verify X-Robots-Tag response headers are not set to noindex at CDN or origin.
  3. 3 Update robots.txt to Allow important paths blocked by overly broad Disallow: / rules.
  4. 4 Fix HTTP errors — return 200 for live pages, 301 for permanent moves, 410 for gone content.
  5. 5 Re-scan after fixes and monitor Coverage report in Google Search Console.

Questions about this tool

What makes a page non-indexable?

Common causes include noindex meta tags, X-Robots-Tag headers, robots.txt blocks, or HTTP errors on the URL.

Does indexable mean ranked?

No. Indexable means search engines may include the page. Ranking depends on many other quality and relevance signals.
