A focused audit that analyzes why your URLs fail to be indexed by Google, grouping them across the coverage report's reason categories and turning raw Search Console data into a prioritized remediation plan. It uses the URL Inspection API for per-URL diagnostics and scores overall indexability health.

Submitted, discovered, crawled, indexed: most sites leak URLs at one of those four layers. The audit finds which layer, names Google's rejection reason for every lost page, and ranks the fixes by traffic potential.

  1. Pulls the Search Console coverage summary for the baseline: how many URLs are submitted, discovered, crawled and indexed, and at which layer of that pyramid the leak sits.
  2. Runs the URL Inspection API over the top critical URLs (rate-limit aware: 2,000 per day, sampled for large sites) and records the verdict, Google's canonical choice, robots state and last crawl time per URL.
  3. Buckets every non-indexed URL into Google's failure reasons, crawled-not-indexed, discovered-not-indexed, duplicate canonical, soft 404, redirect errors and the rest, because each reason demands a different fix.
  4. Separates the two look-alikes: crawled-not-indexed is a content quality rejection, discovered-not-indexed is a crawl budget problem; treating one with the other's medicine wastes a sprint.
  5. Groups results per template (service pages, blog, programmatic pages) so a page type that is failing structurally becomes visible instead of hiding inside an average.
  6. Prioritizes the fix plan by the traffic potential of each URL's target keywords, then tracks recovery week over week as fixes land.

Questions · still in the air

Catch what's on your mind.

the air is clear. nothing between you and the forge.
catch a spark: the forge will answer

  1. My site is a few hundred pages. Is this audit oversized for me?

    Its real leverage is on sites submitting thousands of URLs, where pattern grouping and per-template breakdowns pay off. On a few hundred pages the per-URL Inspection diagnostics still help, but you could get close to the same answer by inspecting manually.

  2. Search Console already shows coverage reasons. What does this add?

    Search Console names the reason but not the pattern or the priority. The audit groups failures across the reason categories, shows which page template is failing, ranks fixes by traffic potential, runs URL Inspection API calls in bulk within daily rate limits, and tracks week-over-week recovery so you can prove the fixes worked.

  3. Will it get my pages indexed faster by submitting them?

    No. It's a diagnosis and planning tool: it finds why indexing fails, catches soft 404s wasting crawl budget, and produces a prioritized remediation plan. It is not an indexing-submission booster.

  4. How is it delivered?

    By email right after purchase: ready to run, downloaded instantly, no setup wait.
