Google Index Checker
About the Google Index Checker
Our Google Index Checker tool provides a quick estimate of how many pages from your website are currently indexed by Google. This is a critical SEO metric, as pages not in Google's index cannot rank or receive organic search traffic. This tool performs a site-wide check (similar to using the `site:yourdomain.com` operator in Google search) to give you an approximate count of indexed pages. While this offers a general overview, for the most accurate and detailed indexing data, it's essential to use your verified Google Search Console property.
How to Use Our Google Index Checker
- Enter Website URL: In the input field, type or paste the root domain of your website (e.g., `https://www.example.com`).
- Click "Check Indexed Pages": Press the button to initiate the check.
- View Results: The tool will provide a simulated count of indexed pages for your domain.
- Compare & Optimize: Compare the indexed count to the actual number of pages you expect to be indexed. If there's a significant discrepancy, investigate potential crawl or indexability issues in Google Search Console.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why is the number of indexed pages important?
A: It reflects how much of your website Google has discovered and deemed worthy of inclusion in its search results. A low index count relative to your site's size can indicate crawlability or indexability problems.
Q: What can cause a low index count?
A: Issues like `noindex` tags, `robots.txt` disallows, broken internal links, duplicate content, thin content, or a very new website can lead to fewer pages being indexed.
Q: How accurate is this tool's count?
A: This tool provides an estimate based on public search queries. Google Search Console provides the most accurate data for your specific verified property, showing exact counts and potential indexing errors.
Q: How can I increase my indexed pages?
A: Ensure all important pages are linked internally, submit an XML sitemap, create high-quality and unique content, and avoid using `noindex` or `nofollow` on pages you want indexed. Regularly check Search Console for crawl errors.
